Buddy…
- Turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the machine.
- Set the machine to cold water, delicate/gentle cycle.
- The picture you posted is of a dry, hot desert, right? What do you think a machine called a dryer that uses heat will do? Hang them to dry on a cheap rack from Amazon or your shower curtain rod instead.
I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.
How do you insert an image like this in comments? I can only get the link to the image to show up. Thanks.
When you post it the image should show up, even if it just looks like a link when typing the comment
In markdown, there is the notation []() for links. Reddit allowed it too for examples, and generally a lot of programs and platforms that have mild text formatting use markdown.
[some text](https://example.org/some-link) will turn into some textLemmy has basically extended this with ![]() which shows the content of the link
 will turn into
Where did that “some text” go? It’s basically the placeholder for when the image is loading or failed to load, the correct term is the alt-text.
The image @Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world was asking about uses the text
It has no alt text. Any frontent that has an image upload button or similar will upload the image somewhere, take the link, and put it into your post like this.I hope your frontend renders code-blocks and escapes with backslash (\) correctly, else this may look weird to you.
Do you really think his mom is going to go through all that?
I wash all my band shirts in a washing machine at 40C with only color detergent and no fabric softener. I hang dry the tshirts on hangers instead of folding them over the clothes line or using clothes pins. Absolutely no dryer outside of whatever the washing machine does.
It works pretty well. The real secret is to have about 30 of them so you don’t wash them every week.
Edit: like another commenter said, wash your clothes inside out.
