How often do you wash your towels?

naked, as a scientist, is this a case of Shrodinger’s humour?

You laughed out loud there Theresa! Steady on.

MommaJP · 02/09/2019 00:36

I don't use bleach for towels but ours are colourful, every couple of days.

BenjiB · 02/09/2019 00:39

When they’re dirty. There’s 5 of us. Loads of towels get used daily. I’ve no idea who has used what or how many times.

ben yes, a thousand times yes, or is that a thousand towels???

HairyDogsOfThigh · 02/09/2019 09:10

naked could you do us an equation to summarise:
Nbr of showers x nbr of people / level of slatternlyness = nbr of towel washes per week.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 02/09/2019 09:17

Yes Naked please help us with a sum.

I think I would better understand how often I should wash my towels in the form of a sum.

Bellepoque55 · 02/09/2019 09:20

Intrigued by the hourly wash comments but guess they make for . in bed nursing a migraine. Be so grateful if anyone has a cure for this. Peace and love!

Bellepoque55 · 02/09/2019 09:24

Oops, just made my 1st post, not much of a keyboard warrior and it kept disappearing thus missed a word, should have read amusement!

Never mind sums. I need a graph, a table and some statistical tests.

Also, these threads suffer from convergent evolution. The optimal solution is humour and that's what they tend to converge towards.
With a healthy dose of entropy, of course.
Stability is dependent on enough neutrons to balance the washers and the non washers. Otherwise, the whole of thing might collapse in a supernova explosion of thread deletion.

I'm done now

If Da is molecular weight of pooh particles,
M is mass of toweling
PH is a measure of concentration of bleach.

Sq is square footage of toweling
Ui is units of intelligence applied.
B number of bathroom events

Towels vs usage taken (TUT)

TUT = Da (m)/pH (sq/ui)B

@lweji

Have you ever visited Thighland? You may find some kindred spirits there.

barearsedloverofthigh · 02/09/2019 12:04

Bellepoque55 👏👏👏 applause for your funny entrance!

Sorry about your migraine. I used to have a magic frog than would cure migraines when rubbed across the forehead but you'll have to ask Dog what happened to that Angry

Lweji · 02/09/2019 12:20

Not sure I want to. I'm very lazy. Which is why I don't wash towels hourly.

Not to mention the tendency to procrastinate. Which is what I'm doing now. Blush

YoTheGinPussyOfStMawesOnThigh · 02/09/2019 12:41

Lweji you might find you enjoy it though. We are like a litter of puppies there, all sniffing each other’s bums, not house trained so we piss everywhere, chew everything in sight, sleep in a big cozy heap together under some monumental tits.

Bellepoque55 · 02/09/2019 12:50

Much gratitude to reply re migraine, asking of barearsedloverofthigh if a ceramic frog will suffice or does it have to be real/live?
Also really sad that my username is so civilised/boring

Bellepoque55 · 02/09/2019 12:51

also much easier on laptop than phone as my keypad kept disappearing
