Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

For Szabo, the low-wash habit began when he bought his first pair of raw denim jeans in 2010. Travelling from his native Canada to Europe, he brought his jeans for the six-month trip. "It was a quirk about me that I had these stinky jeans," he tells BBC Culture. "They smelled awful." In Budapest he met his future wife, and the jeans became a character in their relationship. "My jeans would be in, like, a pile on the floor at the end of the bed," he remembers. "You walked into the room, you could smell [them]... I was very fortunate that my wife was as interested in me as she was."

I don't do any of this but I've read that if you freeze clothing you're trying to avoid washing it prevents the stink by killing bacteria.

So this guy just didn't even try to not be stinky.

Yeah, my brother had a pair of Japanese selvedge denim jeans and he'd do this

It made him miserable in the winter if he forgot to take them out to warm up

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

lmao did he wear them straight out of the freezer?

A couple of times, yeah

I thought it was funny

He froze his cojones trying to impress girls

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I do that on hot days

[–] TheDeed@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't work. When they thaw they're still stinky

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I think the idea is to freeze before they get stinky

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

I'm guessing there's a fetish at play there
