Yup, and honestly, looking at the particular takes Gen-X’ers had when they/we were in charge of the culture, this is completely unsurprising.

No, the boomers with all their magic environment poisoning synthetic fabrics with antiwrinkle coatings did. The next seven generations will have microplastics in every part of their body, but I haven’t touched an iron in a while.

This stuff was invented and worn by the parents and grandparents of boomers. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean a boomer was involved.

I iron only when I need to wear a suit and be presentable. This is less than once a year

I don’t have any clothes that need to be ironed. If I buy a shirt it comes out of the dryer wrinkled, it’s fucking gone. Ain’t nobody got time for that shit.

I just put everything on a hanger and gravity gets rid of the wrinkles

Two options for dealing with wrinkles:

  1. Wet a washcloth or small towel, place both the wrinkled item and the wet item in a dryer and turn the dryer on low-heat for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Hang the item on a clothes hanger in the bathroom and take a steaming hot shower.

There is a third option: wear wrinkly clothes and dgaf.

If only we didn’t do that by moving to fabrics that throw off microplastics
