For this bad advice I am sentencing you to spend a full summer in the rural American south, where it's 38 C with 100% humidity in the middle of the night, with no ability to feed yourself other than baking bread and cooking. I'd love to see you eschewing your dryer to hang your clothes out on a clothesline, in air that has more water in it than the wet clothes do.

It is like when I tried the travel advice to wash my clothes in my hotel room sink. Well in East Asia the humidity is so high and the AC in the rooms so weak that my clothes would just be soaking wet in the morning. I think that only works if you are vacationing in, say, Arizona.
