  • Making the bed

  • Do y'all find people who want to have sex with you in a bed like this?

    They are in fact so unaccustomed to the concept of sex that they posted this 100% seriously, without realizing that this example more than doubles the amount of fabric covering the location where your partner sleeps

  • It’s truly a win/win!

    To further protect yourself from judgment, you should know that house guests will also judge the condition of your toilet, sinks, and floors. It is said that particularly unpleasant judgers can even tell whether or not you own a mop!

  • As a matter of fact, just wear pajamas to bed and the whole problem is avoided yes? All the moisture stays contained by the fabric covering your body?

  • Unless you’re using pure cotton

    You’re close to a major breakthrough here

    Do you wear underwear btw or do you consider it unhygienic to trap so much moisture around your sensitive areas?

  • Here’s what you said, so you can’t delete your comment later out of shame.

    The study is about trapping moisture. It references mites in your bed from making it vs not. It’s a simple thing, closing something up traps moisture.

    You are a 100% proven liar. The study has literally nothing to do with making a bed vs not. It is about humidity in the whole home.

    Here is an actual quote from the study

    Use of mattress and pillow encasements, coupled with frequent laundering of bedding, practically eliminates mite allergen exposure from beds

    Crazy what ctrl f can come up with. Hey let’s keep going

    Reducing the RH [relative humidity] in the whole house should also kill mites in mattresses and bedding as well and prevent colonization of these breeding sites. Although we did not monitor mite and allergen levels in mattresses and bedding, the lack of mites and allergen in mattresses and bedding in dry climates, such as the Rocky Mountain States, supports this hypothesis.

    Great so they literally didn’t monitor mites in bedding whatsoever, and also note that it’s a complete non issue if you employ basic hygiene practices. Do you? You never answered my question btw, you said a made bed must smell “worse”. Does your bed smell at all?

    As an aside, are your blankets made of impermeable plastic? I have a theory as to how you have become so confused about the principles of evaporation

  • I think in normal circumstances the rough pass at getting rid of excess skin and hair during the bed making process is a big priority if your goal is to slow microbe growth. And I don’t think your residual body heat dissipates any faster if your bedding is clumped up vs splayed uniformly.

    But yeah if your bedding is literally wet to the touch when you wake up then the situation is different, I agree hanging + more frequent washing is justified as you said

  • I don’t know why you’re spamming my inbox with multiple replies to the same comment. I also see you’re posting a random unrelated study about dehumidifiers at other people, while misrepresenting it as a study about bed making vs. not.

    You are simply incorrect about the facts, even to the point of advocating for leaving wet towels in a pile. Amazing. Beyond that I’m not particularly interested in spending any more time arguing with you over the most basic hygiene habits that indicate to others whether you are a child or an adult.

    I can however empathize with the additional complexity of the task if you sleep under a four inch thick 160 pound sheet of lead along with multiple auxiliary comforters. In that situation you’re supposed to fold the heavy items up towards the foot of your bed. Best of luck to you

  • Making the bed

    Jump

  • You’re wondering why a completely flat piece of fabric with maximal surface area exposed to the air dries faster than one that’s bunched up and covering itself multiple times? Are there any other situations you can think of where things dry better bunched up rather than splayed out? Towels, swimsuits, tarps, tents?

    Who mentioned smell by the way? Is your bedding noticeably smelly?

  • Making the bed

    Jump

  • The process of making your bed confers several hygiene benefits.

    For starters, we release a ton of water when we sleep, both through sweat and exhalation. A made bed dries more efficiently

    Making the bed also has the effect of shaking loose skin and hair that came off us throughout the night, and casting it to the floor. This is especially true if you use the objectively correct technique of grabbing the corners and flipping your bedding up into the air so that it settles down into place like a parachute

    Takes five seconds, looks nice as you noted, and has many other mental and social benefits we haven’t even touched on. For one of many examples, if I go to a guy’s place, I’m not gonna be inclined to get into his bed if he “won” the bed-making argument with his parents and stuck with that philosophy ever since

    Edit: Tyler thinks you’re too stupid to actually read his linked study. The fact that he needs to lie about something so easy to verify tells you everything you need to know about his alternative theories about reality

  • Yeah I haven’t been keeping up that closely, but just from catching a few headlines, it may actually be that these sixty tickets are actually a significant portion of their proceeds for the event haha

  • Fifa asks fans mistakenly issued free World Cup tickets to re-buy at full price

    Jump

  • Well, it was only sixty tickets. And they were issued to people who were in the process of checking out at full price but a website error charged them zero. It wasn’t like, gift tickets that they changed their mind about

    That being said Fifa should obviously just comp the tickets lol, if only for the good PR

  • They have already been cancelled in fact. The only concession is that the seat number they had is still reserved for them, for a limited time, if they decide to pay full price
