That's why I only own black socks, and just wear jeans, t-shirt and hoodie/shirt

I worked with a guy who had 5 sets of the same work clothes. Wore the same outfit everyday, and yes it was all black head to toe.

I never did verify if he actually had 5 sets of clothes or just liked washing one pair everyday, but he never stank so whichever it was worked out.

I've got work "uniforms", and weekend "uniforms". Probably 7 or 8 changes of each, but all the work clothes are identical and all the weekend clothes are identical.

I look ageless in photos cause I always have the same stuff on, and getting dressed is so easy. Probably no good for people who care about fashion though. Glad I don't tbh, shits expensive and wasteful.

[–] John_McMurray@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

he probably had 25. Ive maybe 6 of one shirt, 5 of another, three or four of a few others, 15 pairs of pants. All the shirts are black, gray, black in a different material, or gray in a a different material. Pants are all black or blue. Jackets all black. 100 pairs of the same sock. I can dress in the dark and everything matches.

That's a ridiculous amount of clothes! 15 pairs of pants...WTF!?

I have 5 t-shirts for private use, 2 for work, 3 shirts, 2 pairs of pants and maybe 10 pairs of socks...

[–] John_McMurray@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They pile up over time if you buy quality clothes and stay the same size. maybe 5 are in "Oil change and mechanical work" condition now.

I have 4 pairs of the same kacki shorts that I use for work. It's comfy.

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I got 5 pairs of the same black cargo pants, and an unknown amount of black hoodies and shirts. I have to be sure to throw in a non default shirt every other day so people think I'm normal. I just think black is good enough and give off the vibe of dead inside. I don't want to be misleading.

"Sorted upon access"? When adding to the pile, I make sure I can still see a piece of every article of clothing. Random access is only grabbing and yanking.

Adding is O(n log n), removing is O(1)

...wait, you just throw socks onto the pile without putting matching pairs together beforehand? I've learned that an alternate universe exists, and I'm not okay with it.

[–] DrRatso@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You could either have socks already in pairs at drying time (we hangdry so we do this, just hang them together and when taking off, fold one into the other, they will not separate accidentally). Alternatively you could have all the same socks and not care.

Alternatively, you can just not care if yours socks match. I only care for my business socks because a) they all have silly designs and b) My line of work calls for a slight bit of professionalism in appearance, so I try to style my hair, clean up my facial hair and at least have matching socks, goofy as they might be. Thank god I don’t have to wear a suit.

Shamelessly stolen joke. Here's the original tweet, which I think is much better too: https://twitter.com/0xAsync/status/1607541407937339392

Or for those who don't want to visit Twitter:

Hmm… theoretically this is more efficient, however in practice you may end up with a dirty cache… I guess that’s fine if you don’t mind corruption of your coworkers.

[–] DrRatso@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is a semi-good LPT. You can save a lot of time and grievance by just not folding your clothes and throwing them into piles (inside boxes or drawers, preferably) by type (socks, underwear, shirts, etc). Bonus tip - if you have a spot where dirty clothes keep piling up (used to be bedroom for me), just put a laundry basket there (in the exact spot you discard your dirty clothes).

If you hate doing laundry, get a dryer and do this, it will make it so much easier. It becomes transport your basket from your aggregation area, dump it in the washer, throw in a random amount of whatever washing thing around, set an alarm on phone, throw it in the dryer, second alarm, take it to your usage pile(s). Turns laundry from tedious into barely a chore.

I recently upgraded to the new GE all in one washer dryer. Removes a massive step of having to move clothes between dryer and washer. Toss em in, and 2 hours later they're done. Best part is they can be tossed in before bed and ready in the morning for work!

If I see that Home Depot commercial for it one more time I'm gonna snap

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've got 5 levels of "clean". I think anyone who can't understand is crazy... Most people can't understand my system

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I thought L3 was neat and L4 was cool, but L5 is just next level.

[–] voidskull@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I hate being messy, but it was a annoyingly-funny-clever reasoning.
