Laundry |
Title text: During the second semester, the path is briefly routed through the dishwasher. |
Explanation
This comic is all about college laundry habits and how as time goes by, you end up just throwing clothes on the floor and then wearing them again.
In the first week, the student undertakes a proper laundry routine. However, due to increasing laziness, by the second week they have abandoned folding their clothes, and by the third week no longer bother hanging them in the closet. By the second month dirty clothes are no longer stored in a laundry hamper and are just dumped on the floor, and by the end of the semester clothes are not washed at all.
The title text seems to indicate that the student has a brainwave, some time later, to wash their clothes in the dishwasher along with the dishes. Presumably as a timesaver. The experiment was brief because dishwashers aren't actually any good at washing clothes[citation needed] as they wouldn't move the clothes about.

- [Panel labeled "First Week". 5 ovals arranged in a rough circle, with a clockwise path connecting them: "Dresser & Closet", "On Body", "Hamper", "Washer & Dryer", "Folding Area" (and back to the first). The area outside the ovals is labeled "Floor."]
- [Panel labeled "Second Week". The path has been modified so that it does not go through "Folding Area" - only through the other 4 ovals.]

- [Panel labeled "Second Month". The path no longer passes through "Hamper" - only "On Body" and "Washer & Dryer".]

I tend to skip straight to the last panel, unless there's a special occasion that necessitates a trip to the washing machine. Davidy22(talk) 07:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Does this comic belong in the flowchart category? I guess it is a flowchart, but it does not seem to have multiple paths, and it does not match the rest of the flowchart comics. Reywas (talk) 22:55, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
I don't really understand the dishwasher in the title text. Explanation please?75.69.96.225 21:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
It refers to using the dishwasher as a makeshift washing machine. -- [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]]) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I've added "and stress from due assignments". As a college student that have been through 4 years (with some 2,5 still to go), I know how that can change your routine. Although I can't relate to the clothes process per se. My knowledge in English is not 100%, so please correct that phrase if needed be. 108.162.254.65 03:26, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
SO DISAPPOINTED that comic 1066 does not have any references to hastings or vikings 01:07, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

I vote to keep it, but why is the citation needed not in the {{citation needed}} tag?? 108.162.237.167 12:56, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Bumpf
This is my first attempt at a wikiwhatever, and am curious if it should be worth noting that many colleges tend to have large laundromat-like facilities, so many of the steps are left out due to that (not wanting to fold in fold in front of others, waiting on machines to be free, or even just dragging the clothes to facility all together). 6:06, 13 August 2024 DireMarpy -- DireMarpy (talk) 11:07, 13 August 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
