I'm happy buying detergent honestly - it last a LONG time when you actually use the correct amount per load. I think the real crime is the "measuring caps" on liquid detergent basically tricking everyone into using WAY too much detergent. Most washers will recommend 1-2 tablespoons of detergent maximum for heavily soiled loads.. Most measuring caps are over that even at the first of several marks, and people rarely think they need the minimum (moar soap moar clean, right?) - so people tend to add 5-10 times the detergent they need.

I worked in appliances for about ten years, and not a single washer manufacturer would actually recommend using fabric softener. It horribly gums up the workings of the machine, even when you use the tiny amount you are actually supposed to (which most people use way too much). They are (or were originally) basically just animal fats and emulsifiers with some fragrance thrown in. They smell awful when they are left stuck somewhere for a long time (like the outer walls of the inner tub of your washing machine - seriously, it probably looks furry if you opened it up to see).

I can't speak to what it does to your clothes specifically, but I can imagine several downsides to essentially coating fabric in lavender scented industrial mayonnaise.

They didn't say Ireland wasn't an island because of it... But, for the record, Canada isn't an island anyway so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't downvote you originally, despite this obvious lie at the end "you hit a button and it’s installed." - just pointing out that you are exactly who the meme is about, lol.

Vague complaints about compatibility issues that don't hold much water (and unable or unwilling to share any details); vaguely complicated solutions, presented as if they are dangerous, from "untrustworthy" sources; and finally claiming windows doesn't have any of that (bet you have no similar concerns about using regedit... and you only follow the advice of official Microsoft Tech Support, right?).

I think you guys have hit the nail on the head. So much of the Linux argument has nothing to do with Linux and everything to do with what people already know.

Everyone forgets the bugs and crashes they've always had to deal with even exist, because they become background noise. Then they change to a new OS and might run into completely new "roadblocks" and cry about how broken and useless the OS is even though their new problems are just as minor (or more so) than the problems they left behind.

In reality, any OS is a complicated piece of kit. The more you do with it, the more likely you are going to run into something that does something you don't expect - and the more tech literate you believe yourself to be, the more likely you think the OS doing something you don't expect means it is broken.

You sound like the exact person this meme is about... Having installed both windows and Linux each several times in the last 5 years, the process has been significantly easier for Linux every time.

And the large hadron collider, which was first turned on in 2012, ending existence immediately - as predicted by the Mayans.

The fact you called it DOS feels like you are just rage-bait trolling... lol

I've never thought about it until now, so thanks for that...

I've said it in my head as "Seer" and then the letters X N G. I didn't even CONSIDER part of it is supposed to sound like "search"...

Oh I'm opposite. Edges are for face/head exclusively and I use the middle of the towel for the rest of the body.

How does this stop them from just going to the website? Like, am I just too old or too computer literate or something to "get it"? These all exist outside of apps...

I use Notepad on my work computer daily. I never save any documents, but it is handy for a quick copy/paste of info I need for a short period of time. We aren't allowed to install anything on the computers, so it's what is available.

I could live without it, but I do find it marginally useful, basically as digital "scrap paper".
