$100 a year is like 27 cents a day. An American can earn that much money from a federal minimum wage job in 4 minutes. This advice is virtually useless to almost anyone who is employed.

Hundred a year sounds right. Electricity is a bit pricey in my area at 15Β’/kwh. One dry cycle is about 70Β’, so 2Β½ loads a week would be $91 per year.
My dryer is finally starting to give, so I'm switching to a natural gas model once it's finally gone. Gas is about 8Β’ per load.

It feels good to have a laundry room bigger than most europoor's living rooms with a chest freezer full of unhealthy food I will waste and a washing machine and dryer that is bigger than the cars they drive. That swedecuck copy pasta about scheduling the use of communal washer / dryers that are tiny really opened my eyes on how poor everyone else is.

Where would they hang them outside? It seems like most suburbs love to cut down 80% of their trees so there's no natural spots to tie a line. And 90% of people these days are incapable of driving a nail, something like erecting a pole is probably out of their skill range.

Your average redditeur cannot even comprehend making his own food. Even a sandwich must be made at the supermarket for him. How does the supermarket make it? There's no way of knowing for the redditeur. He would naturally presume it comes to them frozen and they re-heat it, because that is the case for all the food that makes it into his air-fryer, but who makes the frozen sandwiches then? It's turtles all the way down.

!codecels - you guys ever run into people obsessed with the power usage of their computer?
I was debating with a person one day if the cost savings of "optimizing" his computer would have a broad financial impact. I still maintain your fridge uses more power in 24hrs than you desktop with functional sleep does.
The funniest part was him disabling features like AMD PBO- why tf would you buy a top end CPU just to disable performance features?

I care about the usage solely due to the heat in my room during the night. Other than that my desktop pc I'd like $100 a year, laptop is like 50 a year if that, mini pc server is probably $10 and steam deck/ misc electronics are probably $20 combined since they don't get used often.
