You know what that explains a lot

Literally 365 and a quarter times less frequent than my towel washing preferences.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

That’s probably because they shower 4 times a year

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Well yeah you don't need to shower if it's been raining.

A towel a day keeps the fungus away

ok, so they are literally unwashed, with rotting teeth, are transphobes, and have the ugliest dialect on earth.

is there anything good about britain?

Their queen died recently, that was pretty good.

Sinkable target

Wtf how? Why? Those towels must be all moldy and probably stink the room up at that point.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

There's no way 2 million people don't notice the smell. Do they just really don't give a fuck? Like how does wiping your body with something that smells like death compute for them?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Some will probably retort "so what? they've got character". So often I've seen "character" used as a bailout for something this country does horribly.

  • That place looks run-down? Nah, it has character.
  • Dual-tap sinks where you can choose between freezing or scalding water to wash your hands? Perfectly fine, it builds character.

when yo food bland but you make up for it by having your towels extra-seasoned bojo

"How to delete someone else comment?"

I read once a week thinking they have one towel for one week, which didn't seem all to weird to me. But once a year? What the actual fuck? How?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Yeah I'll be honest, once a week is like my standard. "Towel change day" and all the towels go to the hamper and new ones go onto the racks. I can't imagine letting them go longer.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It helps the towels dry better. They build up so many oils as to become waterproof.

little known fact, that's where those waxed coats the royals like so much come from

This is "civilization"

And people ask me why I never want to go back

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can we ban brits from abusing the English language yet?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's Britain, they just go outside.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Yes, those of other people, usually together with rest of their homes and land.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Why use a towel at that point? Just drip dry.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

we don't want immigrants they're dirty

The absolute state of Britannia

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Britain is literally an island where it rains 170 days a year. You'd think getting a towel wet would be the one bloody thing these tossers couldn't possibly screw up

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

fuckgin WHAT

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if this correlates with the population of British college students?

Because that might be the only population when this would mildly make sense.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I am a university student and even I don't do this shit.

The important question is: Are you British?

The research also showed that "almost one in 10 UK residents (8%) surveyed only wash their bathroom towels twice a year, equating to over 4 million people."

A whopping third of UK residents surveyed "wash their bathroom towels just once every three months", equating to over 17 million people.

I'm gonna throw up
