Saves electricity, adds moisture to a dry room, isn’t rough on your garments like a dryer, feels quaint and European Edit: Apparently, doing this too much can cause mold issues, so do it sparingly! And definitely don’t do it on an electric radiator.
that's definitely going to be rough on your garments, heat is always bad for your garments and having them sit still on one hot spot until they're dry just sounds like a super bad idea
I came by it the hard way, but unfortunately it is superior to the dryer for just about all fabrics but towels. Use less energy, make your clothes last longer, plus your house smells like fresh laundry.
This is one of many frazzled/lazy girl tips my mother taught me growing up and it’s cool because you can do it as a passive thing rather than actively steaming the garment (though it doesn’t come out as perfectly as it would if you used a steamer). Another thing you can do is spritz it with water to dampen it and toss it in the dryer for just a couple of minutes then immediately take it out when it’s done
Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner. Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives. The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
