Young people overdosing detergent & softener

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I am usually am frugal with the amount of detergent I use and usually only fill up the scoop to the #1 mark for small and medium loads and fill the scoop up to the #2 mark for large and extra large loads in my Maytag A606
 
Nate is absolutely gorgeous

He's also, can't phrase it properly here, well what they say about tall, thin dudes.

 

Anyway, the two of them do some awesome videos. Some are silly, like this one, some are really quite complex and fun.

 

Mainly, right now, they're focused on blowing things up and making bubbles.
 
I'll pass.

I don't see anything funny or constructive in wasting products.
And if, as panthera states, they're into blowing things up, that's another of my turn-offs.
People who like it...knock yourselves out. Different strokes. I get no enjoyment from waste or destruction.

Barry,

The King of Random (may his Royal Highness Grant I rest in everlasting peace) has 12.4 million subscribers who enjoy watching them do all sorts of silly things, not just blowing things up or wasting detergent and fabric softener.

 

They also catch things on fire and make thermite to melt things.

 

A lot of their videos involve Nate getting thoroughly soaking wet.

 

But, heh - you're right. To each, his own. Me, I like seeing Nate getting hosed down by Calli, she always starts 10cm below his belly button. 
 
You know, doing "stupid" stuff is a necessary part of life in my opinion.  I've been encouraging the 20 somethings in my life to do something dumb, have some fun, live life with a dose of fun.  this young generation is so buttoned down, they are in school, working to pay for school, trying to pay off school after they are out, and starting marriages and families.  You need some "stupid" stuff to look back on and smile when you are older.

 

So a bottle of detergent is wasted, is it the end of the world?  Did anyone die? Things are a bit on the serious side at the moment, we need dumb.
 
Re: #14

That was my kneejerk response as well and I was trying to think how to word it. Kids have much more structured lives than we did growing up. There's much less opportunity to explore "What happens if..." IMO, the developmental need/urge is still there so what we're seeing is that happening in more adult environs.

In my younger days I worked at The Gap, Chess King, and Wrangler (yes, they used to have retail stores. I would never, ever wear any inner garments without washing them first.
 
Matt and Jim - precisely

Life is too short for being a wet blanket and a party pooper. Kids today face a hostile world we Boomers did not.

Everything is regulated, every infringement is a felony or, if you are Black, a death sentence.

Let's watch a cute guy do silly things! Let's watch a very smart girl burn them up!
 
Exactly. Y'all are pretty much echoing what I said, or was trying to say.
If you get enjoyment from such videos, more power to ya!
I can only speak for myself. If I don't enjoy it, why would I watch it?
Matt;
End of the world? Never suggested any such thing. Just said I personally don't care to see it.
I'm sure we've all done "stupid" things just for fun; myself included. It's amazing I survived some of them!
Is it the end of the world if I personally, one person, don't find entertainment in something that someone else likes? Nope! It's a beautiful thing! Individuality and stuff. 😃👍❤️

JustJunque, I'm glad you said that

Having lived most of my life in Germany, I'm quite used to dealing with ascetic personalities. Usually, the only time they permit anything but black and white in their lives is when raging in full Technicolor and with the latest Surround Sound at those of us who enjoy life.

Next to the hatred vegans seem to have for those of us who are 'only' vegetarian (we're worse than meat eaters, apparently) the no-shades-of-grey types are the most difficult, in general, to live with.

I lived for many years with one in Munich. I would point out that I didn't smoke, drink or eat meat. Therefore, surely I should be allowed to enjoy my valve radio every evening. His response was always: That doesn't change the fact that you are consuming more electricity than you need to!

Sigh.

Pity, though, in a way - a wet Nate is a very pleasant sight.
