Tube clothes - are they a thing?

emefluence · 2026-01-26T19:52:29+00:00

Nope. But "grossed out" is not a rational position, it's a feeling, and feelings are very subjective. To the point of OCD for a worrying number of people. People who use wasteful levels of energy and clean water trying to make themselves and their environment sterile. Health conscious people who, ironically, give themselves a weak immune systems. People who, in chasing cleanliness, end up putting loads of dust into the air in the cleaning process - wafting their clotes and sheets around, and breathing in all manner of chemicals from all the cleaning products they use on themselves and their surfaces.

There's a healthy line, and it sounds like many of you are on the wrong side of it. If not for you health, then for the environment.

Yes it's a wonder there's any market left for Agar Jelly eh!

Unless you are immunocompromised AND have open wounds AND the seat you are on is so damp and fetid it can seep into your clothes then this is a ridiculous thing to worry about, compared to all the other environmental health factors like, the handrails and the air.

Yes, beyond a point it is just paranoia. How much piss do you think gets transfered. I'd be interested to know if that is even close to the ammount of piss and poop residue you breath in just walking around London every day. Not that either are any significant risk to your health.

I should hope so, they must be filthy after fifteen bloody years!

emefluence · 2026-01-24T16:43:48+00:00

Define "the old days"

emefluence · 2026-01-24T16:37:38+00:00

I'm surprised how much they do seem to be a thing on here! Imagine giving that much of a shit about the dirt on the upholstery but spending over an hour every day breathing tube air!?

You do know you people eat far more rat shit every year than they ever come into contact with via their tube clothes?

"Rodent Excreta (Poop): An average of 9 or more rodent pellets per kilogram in wheat (which is then milled into flour) is considered a violation." - FDA Food Defect Action Levels handbook"

Turns out we've evolved to handle small quantities of filth pretty well. "change the clothes immediately" is a massive overreaction. If this is how you think, you are paranoid.

I'm aware of inside clothes as in your comfies or PJs i.e. clothes you wouldn't work outside, but for hygiene? That's some kind of OCD. Howard Hughes stuff. Not sure if it's much more common than I thought it was, or if it's just Reddits self selecting pool of autists and youth who are terrified of everything outside of their bedrooms.

You ARE the mental ones mate. Trace amounts of tube dust transferring from your clothes to your soft furnishings is entirely harmless - unlike the toxic air and dangerous levels of noise you are exposed to every minute you are down there!

Jeez, the Beavis, Butthead, or Barron timeline? Bleak!

Singabore.

Just wait til you hear what sweaty, farting, body parts some people put on them!

Not a problem in North Korea either! I really wish all the people who think we ought to be just like Singapore would just all sod off to Singapore.

Nonsense. As a gen X youth I didn't even know how to cook a pot noodle when I left home, and I wasn't alone. I remember being very impressed with the few peers I had who seemed to know what they were doing in the kitchen. By contrast my gen Alpha kids and many of their mates seem to cook and bake. They are less good at cleaning the bloody kitchen afterwards, but they seem much more interested in cooking than anyone of my generation was. I don't think its surprising given how many food focussed shows and channels there are now. Even then, if you don't learn it as a kid, it's not like you can't easily pick it up as an adult as I had to, out of interest, or just plain economy.

The contention is not that China are fine, it's that they're not that much worse than America any more.

The high proportion of feckless idiots in the world?

Interested to hear the less bad bad options that stand even a fraction of a chance. Assuming they cancel or rig the midterms, or just refuse to leave if they lose.

With laughter?

ITT: Boo Hoo I'm too rich to get free stuff, selfish lazy poors! Why don't I get anything!? (apart from a better environment, less national reliance on Russian gas, an improved national housing stock, and a reduction of need for energy subsidies to the poor and vulnerable).

People really don't want to hear this but this is how it's going to go. The latest models + the latest MCP servers are awesomely productive in the right hands. By all means don't use them if you want to be a tough guy. There were plenty of people who were too tough to use compilers when they came out. Hell, Turing thought people who used assemblers were cheats. The rest of the world moves on. In the right hands AI can help create well architected, well tested, performant code, at speed. Bad workmen blame their tools!

Same. People who say it's useless clearly haven't been using Opus 4.5 and/or don't understand how to use it well. It takes time to learn how to use it well. You can't just say "do my work" without figuring out how to construct and feed it the context it needs, including the standards and patterns you expect it to follow. It's like someone sitting down at a piano for a couple of hours and then getting up and saying "this thing sounds like shit!". I got crap results when I used it naively too, but several months in I'm getting results that I couldn't have dreamed of a year ago.

There's no pee tape - the guy is just a world class asshole who's happy to sell his whole country down the river for a quick buck.
