Ironing clothes is stupid and useless and shouldn't be a thing. I haven't ironed any of my clothes for decades now and they never look any different than the clothes that were ironed. It's a scam! And humanity won't be able to progress if we keep doing it!!
- Ironing clothes became a thing when all clothes were made from 100% natural materials.
  Today, unless you specifically go out of your way to make sure, chances are that none of your clothes are made from 100% natural materials.
  One of the advantages of plastic fibers is that they don't wrinkle as much.
- I have a handheld clothes steamer! Changed ironing for me forever I fucking love it
- True for jeans and hoodies, not true if you need to wear nice pants, button down shirts and blazers to work.
  
  There's a hill I'll die on: screw that 19th century-ass business dress crap.
  
  Nobody gives a crap outside of a bunch of boomers who are still arguing about how offended they'll be if you don't put on a monkey suit to sooth their egos, so like, we should just stop that crap.
  
  Also: ties. Who the hell came up with the brilliant idea of wearing a noose?
  
  There is a practical reason for a necktie for those who insist on their need.
  
  It keeps the foreskin down.
- It really depends on the garment. I've rarely ever ironed my clothes, only random occasions where the item I want to wear got wrinkled and I didn't have the time to fix it any other way. I've also never had a job that required anything fancier than business casual, so that could be part of it.
- I've only ever ironed work clothes. I had an ex that used to iron my jeans. I thought it was insane but they enjoyed it.
