Interestingly, some people don't live in their mum's basement and have to do their own laundry.

It is very difficult. I tend to let it collect until I start running out of clean stuff while hoping for the gnomes to do it for me. But they never actually do so :(

Phase 1: collect underpants, phased 2: ?, phase 3: profit. Seems like the gnomes' business plan might contribute to said problem

If you shave your body hair you can probably get dry (other than your hair) with like 3 washcloths for most people. Isolating to the US its probably closer to 5 to handle the extra surface area. Maybe 6 if they're out of shape enough to start sweating while they dry off.

You're not wrong with the increased surface area, maybe even lowballing it lol

Some people are also just cursed. I had manager get mad at me once when i worked fast food for how many paper towels it took to actually dry my hands, my skin just clings to water like crazy

That's how you open a portal into the h̸̫͍͓̖̭̃͑̊͑͒͒͛̾̅͊̍͛̚͡͠ä̵̢̬͉̞͈̝̪̠́͗̌͋͠n̴̡̧̫̫̬̱̩̘̫̬͔̘͖̑̇̽͘d̷̰̟͖̪͈̠͉̜̼̈̐̆̊̈́̊̕͟͟͝w̵͇͍͈̠̬̓́͋̂̃̆̉̂͑̈́̽ą̷̬͙̻̭̜̑́͋͆̂͑͒̑͠͠s̷̨̘̯̭͖̣̜͔̦̮͔͇͕̪̭͒̓͟͝ḫ̷̺̙̥͍̪̪̞̤̟͙̩̯͌̓͌͛̍͜ ̶͕̭̟͖̞̞̱̥̤͆͑̋͂̓̏͗̌̀͘͡͝͝͠͡ ̶̢̛̹̳̣͇̲̠̭̳̥̤̰̗̀̓̌͆̾̒͆̚͟͝ dimension. And you really don't want to do that

An important addition to that, fold the paper towel in half, it absorbs additional water between the layers.

Yeah, most towels are unnecessarily big, for the amount of moisture they're required to absorb. I simply folded the towel in half (as wash cloths are double too), which fitted 4x5 of them haha.

Thats not true. They've got a guy named Ronnie. Hes a big Jamaican dude, and every time I try, he yells what cha doin, Mon? Then hits the big red button, stopping the shower, he drags me out of there shaking his head and clicking his tongue.

I automate the drying process by attaching wash cloths to two large rotating cylinders and standing between them, getting lightly battered

pls im already using all the hot water in the tank and I can't legally get a bigger one

I looked into it but damn that would be a lot of trouble so that I can dry off after a shower with 20 washcloths. Supposedly they don't do well with hard water and water softener systems involve buying huge bags of salt to burn through every month.

Army and hospital towels are tiny, and after spending loads of time in both I'm sure I could get by with only one washcloth. Well, at least if I cut my hair again.

Interesting. If my hair is short, and I wipe most water off my body, maybe I could manage that too. I do like how the conversation is gradually shifting to drying efficiency haha
