I melted my plastic shower curtains in the dryer.
What’s worse?
You both have a lot to think about
Most plastic doesn’t melt below the boiling point of water. It’s not intuitive that a dryer can get a lot hotter than that.
Only babies who don’t even know what vodka is would make his mistake.
Why isn’t it intuitive that a device designed to evaporate water quickly gets hotter than the boiling point of water
Because it is intuitive that water doesn’t need to hit boiling point to dry off.
But when it doesn’t it takes a long ass time to dry, else we’d just line fry instead
Yes, but you seem to be forgetting that we’re talking about the difference between room temperature and melting plastic. That’s hundreds of degrees F. Even twenty degrees makes a substantial difference for drying water.
It’s fully within reason to expect a dryer to be less hot than melting plastic unless it’s a gas dryer. Even then, many clothes are literally made of plastic. Nylon? Radon? Plastic. It’s totally reasonable to expect a dryer to not melt typical kinds of clothes. (though at least nylon’s melting point is significantly higher than some other kinds of plastic)

There was a president who tried to ban bikinis in Brazil
Ok that broken wrench wine glass one is super clever
Yeah, vodka has such a long and rich history of good deeds in Russia. What a fool this fella is
I mean, unhealthy food is harmful too. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to try to ban it.
I disagree. Things should be “banable.”
for example:
- Lead in the water supply
- Burning fossil fuels
- Pre-rolled cigarettes
- Vodka
So we have different opinions; that’s cool!
I disagree but I hope you have a wonderful day.
Cheers! May today be your best one yet :)
Well, he was inbred so it’s almost understandable
It’s not like Prince Philip tried to ban tea in England. He was probably as inbred as they come and all he did was say a bunch of racist shit and then take a couple steps out of the limelight while gradually becoming half vampire half zombie
Not exactly a role model, but still…
He’s only 37 years old in that picture.
He also didn’t have the advantage of being an absolute monarch who was able to do things like ban tea, so there’s that.
True, but he could still have SUGGESTED it if he had been crazy enough 🤷
Wasn’t it Lenin who banned vodka, then Stalin started a state run vodka company after he took over? Or did Lenin just reinforce the ban?
the royal family owned all the vodka companies/manufacturing before the revolution. it’s always been a tool to fill state coffers
Tsar Nicholas ordered prohibition in 1914. RSFSR retained it after revolution until it was abolished in 1925.
Close in second: The guy who tried to ban alcohol in America
Which Tsar is this?
The last one
I wonder why 🤔
Because there were none after him /j
Tsar Peter I taxed all men who wore beards.

Tsars were weird.
