@DoomsdaysCW It's so weird to lots of Europeans that the US sort of forgot how to dry clothes in the post war period. Like it was a sign of poverty to not burn dinosaurs to dry something that was wet even in parts of the country with sun and light breezes for 10 months of the year :)

I can only imagine how dryer culture looks to people outside our wealthy northern hemisphere bubble.

@naturepunk @DoomsdaysCW I would also say that there is a decent amount of things that discourage prople from having a clothes drying line

One person mentioned HOAs, which definirely discourage the practice. Also, not all of us live in a place where there is a suitable place to hang it. Def would argue that some generations are likely disinclined amd disincentivized from hang drying our things.

Bedbugs.

I would line dry 100% of the time except my dad's house has a perennial bedbug problem. Dryer heat kills the eggs. Plain air drying does not.

So that's a caveat. I myself prefer lines and racks.

Oh, absolutely! Hot dryers are good for some stuff (and I've used a hairdryer aimed into a box before as a makeshift dryer when needed). @springdiesel @Catwoman69y2k @naturepunk
