Is a segment about washing machine enthusiasts.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Link may be broken, kinja.

Guys finding and collecting rare machines. Some preferring brands, some preferring colors, stories of patient spouses.... Members from around the world, some who travel hours just to use their machine.

It’s uncanny.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re washed out

I bet they even have the same lame jokes as us.

“Check out my sweet agitator tattoo”

“Lol, that’s a drum from a dryer, bro.”

“Pretty sure that’s a Samsung, dude”

“The liquid detergent was probably off by 1.5 cups.”

My dad is part of a flashlight enthusiast community. So that’s apparently a thing.

I'm certain they'll drum up some more ideas for next season.

Of course, the flashlight enthusiast community actually makes their own flashlights . (I don’t think I have an account on CandlePowerForums, but I’ve lurked there in the past.)

There’s also the retrocomputing and retro gaming communities, typewriter enthusiasts, calculator enthusiasts, etc., etc., etc. I even know someone who’s collected a couple vacuum cleaners.

If it’s a thing, someone collects it.

Years back on here there was a discussion on “oddball” forums + the flashlight forum came up. Then someone posted “you think those guys are out there-try going to the Swiss Army knife group.” https://www.edcforums.com/threads/show-m…

I think they’re trying to spin it as an interesting hobby.
