How come everyone on lemmy thinks after you put your dirty clothes in the washing machine that the machine magically folds your clothes and puts them away?

Tell me you don't wash your own clothes without telling me you don't wash your own clothes.

It took a decade for FoldiMate to admit defeat and declare bankruptcy, but Laundroid accomplished the same task in only four years - so, soon, we could have robotics companies able to give up in under a year!
