RBWells,

Our dryer does this to us:

Put clothes in, start it - it estimates 35 units of time. Come back in 15 minutes to check, it says 15 units left. Come back in 15 minutes, it now says 21 units left.

I am, like all of us, unsure of the fundamental nature of time. But the dryer even more so. The units are not one standard length, and they don’t move always in the same direction.

KrokanteBamischijf,

Had the exact same experience the other day. Fuck these machines, fuck printers, fuck microwave ovens, fuck software updates and fuck time estimates in general.

Thcdenton,

Then the lying whore sings a cheerful little tune after it fucked up my schedule.

I see you bought a dryer that’s in Hawaiian time

No worries, just go with the flow it’ll work out

Fun fact though typically the last little bit of drying in the dryer is just cool down time, so just reach in there and grab those toasty boxers, you’ll be fine

My dryer has a couple different presets which all adjust the remaining time dynamically according to a predetermind dryness level. To get around this, I just use the “custom” setting and change the temperature and timer manually.

The developers just put their own logic into its estimation software.

prettybunnys,

We call it “the longest minute” in my house.
