How the fuck he fold towels?
That is a downside. But on the upside, he’s immune to hanging.
I’m up a lot earlier than usual and I’ve had too much coffee and this has me cry laughing. Thank you.
What?
I think I can transalte: “How can he fold towels if he doesn’t have a chin?”
Cause most people hold the middle part of the towel with their chin when folding.
This is the best image I could quickly find -
But why?
Am I secretly a towel folding genius? I don’t see how that’s remotely required?
It’s usually blankets that are folded using the chin. Maybe they have gigantic towels.
Those are the best towels. See also “hang-dried floofy towel bliss”.
I have ratty towels, they dry the best.
Nah you probably just use momentum to whip it into the half-folded position. Do you also drape it over your knee?
You don’t need to use momentum, but I realized it might be impossible unless you’re tall enough.
Step 1: hold up by a short edge, fold vertically. (In half or thirds, your choice.) Step 2:tuck short edge under chin, reach down and grab edges at hip level. (For my body that’s dead center of the towel length, but I’m short. You might have to grab waist-high. Check in a mirror and from then on you can do it by feel.) Step 3: Let go with chin and raise center, creating a folded edge. Step 4: reach out over a surface, touch down the unfolded edges and lower the folded edge towards you until it’s halfway, then push the folded edge away and lower it atop the other edge.
Why do that at all instead of just… you know, folding it in half? Bonus points, if you’re tall and have the wingspan to literally just hold it open longways.
I have several towels to fold and put away each time so they at least have to be folded in half lengthwise and twice the other way to make a nice square stack. And I’m 5’1", having lost an inch from my younger height. I only use one towel a week myself but it’s not just me. Now, washcloths I do only fold in half. I used to do fourths, but it made two stacks, that took up the same space as one stack of single folds.
It only takes me a few minutes to fold and put away two large loads of laundry, even when the cat helps. It’s one of the few household chores that’s actually satisfying instead of drudgery.
I’m also good at folding fitted sheets into a nice tidy unwrinkled square despite the fact a queen sheet is well beyond my wingspan.
No one’s bringing up the missing inch?
Let’s send out a search party!
Yeah, I think your height is the main reason to choose this convoluted (but functional) method. I’m not even tall by modern standards, only 6ft (183cm), but that’s still enough to fold a queen size bed sheet in quarters without having to hold it at a third point
Cause it’s easy and it does a lot of damage
Some people are slow, so they have to rely on friction rather than inertia to bend the towel.
I needed your explainer and then I laughed.
I find this concept incomprehensible
To fold towels, I hold them up, fold them hotdog, then let go and grab the middle. I guess you could lay them down and fold them that way
Your image doesn’t load for me, but I can’t imagine how my chin could possibly come into play…
You have to hold the center with your chin so that you fold it straight
I’m honestly not sure how you fold towels without it lol
I just tested how I told because I wasnt sure
I grab two corners along the long edge and pinch with one hand, and slide my other hand along the length until it’s tight in the middle, then I just meet that to the corners in my other hand, then turn it to the side and fold in half
No chin
I’m honestly impressed
Also thank you for testing it lol I needed to know!
I’m so confused… You hold the long, floppy cloth perpendicular to gravity when you fold it?
Yes. I also have to stand up lol
You win Lemmy today. Hit me like a train… dyin’ over here.
I have to imagine that not a single pillow in his house has a pillowcase on it.
I believe it. I’ve seen people who sleep on a bare mattress covered in mystery stains, with nothing but a blanket and a couch cushion.
😳
Thank you for reminding me that’s a thing.
Hey remember 2girls1cup?
Can’t relate cause I’ve gone out of my way to avoid seeing that video. Somehow I’ve managed to avoid seeing it for the 17 years it’s been around — literally half a lifetime ago for me — yet I haven’t even seen a screenshot (oh god I’m getting old).
And it’s going to stay that way too, lol
Okay what about goatse? I’m just trying to make us even here.
A surprising clip from 30 rock that references neither.

I almost died when I saw this air.
That chin was made for a beard.
What chin?
There’s a slight bump there.
You sure that’s not a pimple?
It’s a french tickler. This man goes down and in at the same time.
There was a chin before, but he shaved it off
You mean his check?
I spilled my coffee but you made my day :)

If there was ever a man that deserves the ability to grow a full and thick beard, is this man. Alas, nature is sadistic.

Look out! I just saw a giant Alaskan Bull Worm heading straight to Bikini Bottom!
It’s a good thing I was already sitting on the toilet because I shat myself laughing
how does one shit themselves because of an image?

He simply absorbs objects.
He is the Lorax. He speaks for the trees.
“Quit cuttin’ 'em down, or I’ll bite off your knees!”
Never shave unless you’re certain you have a chin
i dunno if a severely balding head will look any better though.
They could have made it a look, with a super chunky green turtleneck
You were great on MythBusters
and Futurama
That is… unfortunate.
Can we all see your best Earthworm Jim costume this year? Pretty please?
They call me Dr. Worm. Good morning, how are you? I’m Dr. Worm.
I’m interested in things. I’m not a real doctor, But I am a real worm, I am an actual worm. I live like a worm.
On the plus side they are now turtly enough for the turtle club
His name wouldn’t happen to be Jim?
Jawless execution!
Why my mans look like he speak for the trees?
