@ai6yr t-shirts get thrown into a crate on the shelf
life‘s too short to be folding T-shirts
@ai6yr I have never seen a robot that folds laundry. These are lies.
@ai6yr I have children for all that stuff, and I get some conversation thrown in for good measure!
@ai6yr except fitted sheets. Just roll in a ball and forget about it
Finally got shown how to fold fitted sheets: flatten out the sheet on a bed with the top side down, elastic side up, so the outermost points are the corners where the sewn seams start, i.e., at the farthest point from the elastic on each corner seam. Use those corners to pull the flattenable part of the sheet flat. Fold that. Just flip inward and ignore all the stuff that's pulled out of square by the elastic.
@ai6yr There's a lot more vacuums. I can only find 3 laundry folding robots.
Maybe "humanoid"? Then I'd interpret this as a very negative statement saying the humanoid robots are stuck folding laundry. Two of the three were humanoid but they weren't the one I'd consider.
Finally: NO! It stays in the pile or it gets the hose again. The hose and some soap.
@ai6yr I swear, half the proposed uses of personal robots boils down to “what if a robot was my mom when I was twelve”
@wordshaper @ai6yr
There is no room in the kitchen for a bologna-sandwich making robot and me because there is no way I am leaving a robot unsupervised with such an important task.
@wordshaper @ai6yr
And the other proposed uses of robots get very awkward if combined with the mom-bot 😲
@ai6yr
Folding laundry is for suckers (and people with functional muscles). I just throw everything into different piles on the shelves in my wardrobe 😏
@me_valentijn @ai6yr LOL if I could afford it I'd get one of Simone's chairs
@me_valentijn @ai6yr for me, anything bigger than a t-shirt is rolled up and flung into a basket or drawer like that
@giflian @me_valentijn I roll my t-shirts as well, none of this ridiculousness about folding.
@ai6yr @giflian @me_valentijn I am 100% for rolling my t-shirts.
@ai6yr @giflian @me_valentijn worked for a retail store, folding t-shirts is faster than any other laundry task.
At the store, we used boards to ensure they were perfect, at home it’s a quick flip. I do a faster version of #1 here (I fold the sleeves in while holding tee up by the shoulders, then fold to bottom hem), but an ex-coworker was really into #2 (crazy geometry)

@ai6yr @giflian @me_valentijn Was severely jet-lagged a few years ago, up at 4am, turned on the computer, saw Marie Kondo folding t-shirts...you can guess what happened next.

@giflian @me_valentijn (if it makes it off the chair I have been throwing laundry on lately 😂 )
@me_valentijn LOL okay, you've got an excuse to get a laundry folding robot.... if you wanted.
@ai6yr

@ai6yr coat hangers can hang way more than just coats
