    Ironing clothes is stupid and useless and shouldn’t be a thing. I haven’t ironed any of my clothes for decades now and they never look any different than the clothes that were ironed. It’s a scam! And humanity won’t be able to progress if we keep doing it!!

      Ironing clothes became a thing when all clothes were made from 100% natural materials.
      Today, unless you specifically go out of your way to make sure, chances are that none of your clothes are made from 100% natural materials.
      One of the advantages of plastic fibers is that they don’t wrinkle as much.

      True for jeans and hoodies, not true if you need to wear nice pants, button down shirts and blazers to work.

        There’s a hill I’ll die on: screw that 19th century-ass business dress crap.

        Nobody gives a crap outside of a bunch of boomers who are still arguing about how offended they’ll be if you don’t put on a monkey suit to sooth their egos, so like, we should just stop that crap.

        Also: ties. Who the hell came up with the brilliant idea of wearing a noose?

      It really depends on the garment. I’ve rarely ever ironed my clothes, only random occasions where the item I want to wear got wrinkled and I didn’t have the time to fix it any other way. I’ve also never had a job that required anything fancier than business casual, so that could be part of it.

      I’ve only ever ironed work clothes. I had an ex that used to iron my jeans. I thought it was insane but they enjoyed it.
