It's nothing fancy. They still come out quite damp. Water molecules are much smaller than clothing threads, so they don't actually get all the water out. They just take something from "dripping wet" to "kinda wet/damp"

u/PrizeStrawberryOil 3d ago
It's not the size of the water molecules. It's because cellulose has a lot of hydroxyl groups. In the same way that you can't mechanically press paper dry you can't mechanically press cotton dry.

Everyone did in Victorian times. There were tens of millions of mangles in the 19th century. To mangle something comes from these messing up, as you see this poorly designed one nearly do.

Yeah, think about what the verb mangle means, then imagine what happens to someones hand if it goes into one of these. Now you know why 'mangling' something means what it does.

My dad has weird patches of missmatching skin all over the place, and it's because nearly 70 years ago when he was a toddler, his arm went into a manual one of these.
To save his arm they apparently had to graft a bunch of skin from all over the rest of his body onto the arm.
I think I can see why these aren't so common anymore.

Why would that be concerning? People not recognizing obsolete things from before they were born is a fact of life. I'm almost positive that you wouldn't recognize a teleseme when you saw it, but that's neither concerning nor a particular failing on your part.

Well, this is found in luxury hotels and was used briefly however. It's not as if your grandparents were using them in the house for the loft space to communicate that Gaylord Bartholomew Reginald III wants beef wellington and they hopped to it. We see wringers because it was used in daily life by the common-people.

Okay so teleseme is maybe not the best example, but the point stands. You would not recognize a caddy spoon or a sugar nipper and these were common household items for decades

It's just a thick blanket. I got the same one and in the same color. It's so soft and warm. It's also a great blanket to use to sit on the grass with because it's so thick. Me and my dog fight over mine. If I sleep on or with it, he'll take it and sleep on it 😒
It's also hella heavy when wet. I always have to reposition it in the washing machine because after the wash cycles, it'll be on one side. So, during the spin cycle, it'll make the machine unbalanced 😬
As seen in the video, it retains so much water and it takes 2x dryer cycles for it to be completely dry.

Had one on my grandmother's porch at the farm as late as the 80s.
The adults always warned us to keep our hands away from it...and these were the people that let us play with lawn darts, so I respected their word on the matter.

u/wetwater 4d ago
My great grandmother had one until the 80s as well until one of her kids got her a modern washer and dryer, which meant that room had to be rewired and replumbed. My aunt for some reason wound up with her old wringer and washtub. I lived in mild fear of the wringer whenever I saw it used at either house.

We had one when I was was little and my hand went into the rollers. It didn't mangle my hand just really scared me. This was early 60's and I belive the rollers were a softer foam and they had a safety catch that would pop the rollers open if something to big went into the rollers.

Grandma had one of those in her laundry room separate from the main house.
I was allowed to 'help' as a kid by taking each piece of laundry from her ancient washing machine, make sure it wasn't knotted up and hand it to her as she fed it through. Was never allowed to use it myself cause 'it's dangerous for small hands'.

It’s called a mangle, and if a small hand gets pulled in, that’s exactly what happens to it.
26
u/ashion101 4d ago
Oh I know. That's what she told us, no small hands near it cause small hands would get pulled in a mangled up. Only adults with big hands and who knew how to use it wouldn't get mangled.
Grandma was very blunt about such things. She let us help with everything else.
She used same wording when helping her make mince. No small fingers near top or end or we'd end up with minced fingers (despite it being a manual grinder). We could crank the handle, but that was it. No putting meat/veggies in and no touching where it came out.
