This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The simplicity and genius made me laugh. Good on you, op!

Thank you! Glad it made someone laugh today. I was just so done with this dryer door, I thought, “can my old keychains fit these holes?” Yep! They did! I am so not buying a new dryer between paychecks. It’s going to be a few good paychecks before I can even think of buying one. We’re going to keep using it until it can’t be repaired in every respect.

Thank you, op, I should have said that in my other post. You are welcome, and also clever. Plus, I agree with using it until it's plain unusable. Things are so. flipping. expensive! And it is truly a pleasure to call out genius, for once, instead of... You know, the opposite. The added bonus is, I may be able to remember this, if something breaks that can be remedied in like manner.
