quote:

2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss.

Failure to clean the dryer (34 percent) is the leading cause of home clothes dryer fires.

Lint is a fascinating substance with a multitude of of uses. For instance, did you know that gaping holes in sports hero Herschel Walker's severely damaged brain were surgically refurbished by filling them with nothing more than the lint taken straight from Donald Trump's dryer? This every day, ordinary item has given Walker a new lease on life as a Republican front runner for a US senate seat.

Truly a miracle material.

the reason the artificial lint flavor tastes nothing like the lint you eat from the dryer is that it was formulated a hundred years ago. back then we wore mostly cotton, linen, and wool fabrics. these days there are a lot more polyester and nylon fabric blends in clothes, and so the modern lint you taste has many more microplastics in it.

I think if you leave your lint out birds will use it to build nests, just like how they use loose strands of dog fur and such.

After decades of absorbing flavor from whatever filthy home it was in, I’m sure it has seasoned well and will present quite the bouquet.
