Had a big brain moment this evening. I needed to get a new shirt ironed, and I found the ironing board, but I could not find the iron.
But then I thought for a moment, what is an iron? In the end, it's just a warm piece of metal. So I took out a metal pan, heated it on the stove, and used the hot pan as my iron. And it worked, problem solved.
Hard agree on jobs that force you to,
but sometimes you just want to look sharp because its cool.
@mute_city @shortstories it was not for any job, I just wanted to get the shirt ironed. The point of the story was about problem solving, not a tale of "the man" oppressing me with a dress code. This shirt was not for work.
@houseoftolstoy @mute_city @shortstories Yea saw even old iron where they used wood and coals to heat it up
@houseoftolstoy better be clean, don't put beacon and eggs on your white shirt.
Also I love to use what I call "natural iron". Just with the body getting hot and producing steam the shirt will be ironed.
@Lorgar @houseoftolstoy Yeah, for sure, the bottoms of my pans are awful and i use induction, even.

That is smart but sad at the same time
Ironing clothes is for wage slaves
Free people can not be fired for clothes that are not ironed
Unless you do not need it for a job and just iron clothes to look good for people that can not even fire you in which case it is even more sad
Lucky you did not get burned
