    Chores while excersising. I like it, get two birds stoned at once

  2. Neither. Certainly not efficient but very cool imo.

    A good idea. Im gojng to build one in the spring

  4. hanging them to dry on hangers that all slide together is crazy

    Because line dried clothes always come back looking ironed 🙄

    I feel like this needs to be like one of those old timey cartoons with an overly complicated rube goldberg device doing laundry set to a jazzy soundtrack. But seriously it is hundreds of dollars a year feeding kilowatts to the washer and dryer. This is pretty resourceful. Hard to dry in the rain though.

    I used to live 50 miles from a lamp post.

    We had a surplus of time and no money

    Just enough electricity for lights and a radio.

    I would happily trade a bike laundry machine for showing up to work

    Nope, I’m not hardcore enough for this thing.

    My place absolutely requires two things: a dishwasher and a laundry room stocked with a washer, at least.

    Note: My dishwasher goes by the name of “Tank”, and he’s always at the ready unless he’s chasing/barking at the mailman.

    Anyone else think he was putting a chicken wrapped in a towel in there at first?

    Aside from the machine itself, which while clever is really unrealistic to get any real amount of laundry done, I can tell this guy has never actually done laundry in his life and doesn’t intend to do it again. No one who had to rinse laundry and actually get soap and dirt out of clothes would use that much soap. And the way he hung those clothes they would not get dry at all and in about an hour they would smell awful of mildew from being scrunched together and need to be washed again.

    Also that flimsy plastic hamper will last 2 loads max.

    Sometimes people who invent things should brainstorm with the people who actually do the thing to be sure they are demonstrating the solution to the right problems.

    That’s some hardcore Gilligan’s Island shit right there!

    Doesn’t exactly look efficient, and I’d personally swap out the plastic laundry basket for a steel trashcan with a few hundred holes drilled into it for the durability. But not exactly insane either, it ain’t using any electricity which means clean clothes even when the power goes out/needs to be conserved for food storage.
