No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Most damage comes from heat, and rough handling, so I sort by structure/texture and wash almost everything on cold. And tumble dry on low, auto-sense.
We might go a few weeks between running batches so we can separate things out just because there is enough to fill out it’s own load.
The only color I wash separate is white so it can run hot and with bleach.
Undergarments and deli sites go together, might add leggings or lightweight tops to fill out a load
Socks are separate merely because we like fluffy wool socks and they will fill their own load. Otherwise they’d be with undergarments. Might run on warm if the foot stank is real bad.
Sturdy fabrics like denim all goes together in a denim cycle it’s just cold/cold with a heavy spin
Sweats and other heavy bulkys go together so they don’t twist up lighter clothes
Lightweight tops and button down shirts go together Lightweight bulkies might be get mixed in too.
Then general laundry is t-shirts, slacks leggings, etc. all
Towels get a hot cycle to get cut down on microbial growth. NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER/DDRYER SHEETS ON TOWELS. It makes things softer by adding oils THAT prevent them from absorbing water, which is the whole point of towels.
and bedding might get a warm cycle and pre wash to help cut through accumulated body grease, etc.
Low heat alone will help a ton like you said, high heat seems to ruin everything and it's just not needed unless unless it's towels maybe.
I knew that fabric softener would stop towel absorption but I never thought about dryer sheets too. I thought those were just antistatic.
Also the "deli sites" typo made me laugh.
Now I'm not allowed back in Subway.
