What's a dryer sheet, I'm nearly 40 and I've never heard of that

It's a sheet of chemicals that makes your clothes smell better.

Downside is it adds a sort of...coating to clothing which for some types of clothing, like wicking sports apparel, makes them less effective.

They're absolutely useless and when I learned that I stopped using them and there was literally no negative change in my post-laundry output.

That makes me think of crockpot liners, which are apperently a thing

Like, you cook your food, in the plastic. The most pointless thing I've seen.

Mmmm that plastic bag taste. Just like mom used to make. Until she died of microplastic poisoning.

We aren't there yet but soon. GenX I bet you'll see the first person die directly as a result of micro plastics. Boomers, I think cancer has got them for the most part and I'm confident we will solve that riddle in the next few decades

Slightly related, why does clingfilm smell so strong? I never used it because the taste always went onto whatever I wrapped in it.
