She basically begged ABBA for permission to sample "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (a man after midnight)" since they rarely allowed such things.

What's really failed and obsolete are those washing machines with a wringer on them Especially the gasoline powered ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UPZkmcai-M&t=2599s

The Sausages posted:What's really failed and obsolete are those washing machines with a wringer on them I worked at a car wash 20 years ago (oh my god) and they had 2 washing tubs on either side of an "extractor." The extractor was a drum that could hold a good amount of towels and spin at high speeds. You had to have the cover closed or it wouldn't run. The cover had a dome on the underside and a sprayer aimed at it so you could rinse the towels and then let them spin until they were sorta dry. You don't want bone dry towels, they won't pick up water well. Anyways, that thing scared the gently caress out of me because there would be a good 100 pounds of towels and water in that when it was started up, and the speeds it reached were terrifying. I have all my digits, thanks OSHA for requiring that switch that could easily be taped down while highschool kids threw extra towels in while it was still moving.

I did exactly that with my grandmother’s wringer, when I was about 5. Ran my arm right into it because I didn’t let go. Fortunately kids are made out of rubber and nothing was damaged.

My parent's first washing machine was a twin tub which apparently is still in use because the house it's in only has rainwater to draw from. They're semi-obsolete but still being produced because they can use a lot less water than automatic machines, even less than front loaders depending upon how they are used.

It was nice because there was a clutch that would pop the mangle open if your hand got caught. I have fond memories of using a stick to pick clothes out of the water and feed them through the wringer. If you can do it right, it's almost self feeding as wet clothes stick together. There's a bit of a knack to it though because if too many go through at once, it pops the top open and it stops feeding. I miss that thing. It made laundry fun.

I'd imagine the reason we don't use a wringer anymore is because the fabrics we wear nowadays don't like being stretched like that. Maybe?

A wringer would probably destroy all the lovely fast fashion clothes people have nowadays.

As said, you can overfeed a wringer. You want to automate one, it has to deal with that somehow. It's mechanically so, so much easier to just centrifuge the stuff. More efficient too. The only place I've seen a wringer in real life is at the swimming pool so you can squeeze most of the water out of your bathing suit before you put it in your bag.

I assume a wringer would not play nice with any hard details? Like buttons, zippers etc?

Wringer washers also tended to detach, and sometimes break, buttons.

That's an incredible example of a product designer going all-in, no holds barred, research and prior art are for cowards. Trackers and the early PC demo-scene were a big part of my young adult life (hell, still are considering I've recently bought a handheld tracker), so this revived some long dormant brain cells for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roBkg-iPrbw
