I use a box fan to help dry the dishes in the dishwasher. Recently I mistakenly pointed the fan away from the dishes instead of toward them. This appears to be faster and more effective than my normal method. Why?

    Yet there have never been less “drapes”, curtains and carpets than in a modern home

    My SiL just moved into a home constructed 3 years ago and all but the main living room and bathroom are carpeted. Every window has curtains, the front 2 have blinds as well. The other couple I’ve been in are the same, and my own homes are similar though constructed in what wouldn’t be called modern times for sure

    And oddly humanity got by just fine without vacuum cleaners until

    We got by just fine without microwaves, cell phones, the Internet, etc. too, guess those are all pointless excesses!

    If you don’t need a vacuum where you live then don’t fucking own one, I did just that when I loved somewhere that only had a small throw rug I could smack against s pole to dust. The whole assuming everyone only has one because we’re sheep thing is pathetically stupid, though

      So many hypersensitive thin-skinned vacuum-cleaner owners! Perhaps they’re projecting their insecurities because deep down they know I’m right.

      Addendum. I will concede your argument for the niche case of keyboards. I once considered buying a handheld one just for that, but decided against on grounds of wastefulness.

        bro no one needs you to “concede” anything. we’re saying you’re being a narrow minded jerk who doesn’t understand the living conditions of others. that’s not an argument. it’s a tip.

        Lol, someone’s upset they were slapped down for their objectively incorrect statement

        Some random dip shit on the Internet isn’t going to shake my confidence that my house is much easier to clean thanks to my vacuum cleaner, but it’s cute you think that

            The more insults you hurl

            Yeah, all 1 I’ve used in multiple comments so far

            Again, some random dipshit saying untrue stuff isn’t gonna bother me. I’ll go home tonight and vacuum around my desk just for you
