when i was a kid, in my home country, they would always spend time separating out white stuff from colour clothes and towels and socks/undies

these days i noticed that when i do laundry they dont do that, just dump em into the machine altgoether and its fine

did water get more advanced over the years or why did they stop separating clothes?

We lied. We are not at war. There is no enemy. This is a rescue operation.
it's neither. the microchips injected into you by bill gate's zombie vaccine are actually messing with your visual cortex to make you think your clothes have color. in reality your only clothes are amazon warehouse worker suits, same as the rest of us.



Thanks to Saoshyant for the amazing spring '23 sig!

not sure where ur from but desegregation happened a lot earlier than the 90s over here

No, I like my hat, thanks.
I don't do enough laundry to justify separating anything.

Separating out colours from whites and also by fabric since the invention of having to wash multiple types of clothes.

Color-safe bleaches and detergents.

Sometimes, if I have enough for two loads, I separate them and run one on warm and one on cold. No idea what difference it makes.

in my imagination the hot water makes everything shrink which is a good excuse for if your clothes get too small blame it on your roommate leaving the setting on hot why else would clothes that once fit not fit anymore

I wish. So very, very much. I mean, it's better than cleaning windows and dusting but I still don't like it.
My opinion is influenced by always having to use laundromats, though.

Be careful OP. I spent years washing lights and darks together, then one day a couple of weeks ago all my white shirts came out pink. There wasn't even anything red in the laundry, so I think probably I angered the laundry gods, and now I have to make an offering of lint.

Color safe bleach exists but I don't trust it

I wash my whites when I amass enough of them because the like 6 white shirts I own that I don't want to turn grey or off-pink aren't enough for their own load. So eventually they get washed with some t-shirts and pillow cases and maybe a sheet.

Anyone here with a PhD can read those clothes tag symbols?

Future archaeologists will be utterly baffled buy the washing instruction hieroglyphs until an item of clothing is unearthed that has both the symbols and written instructions in multiple languages, and it'll be like the Rosetta stone.

It's annoying because I already need reading glasses and they aren't strong enough to accurately detect those symbols are.
