i agree that it's important to let kids be independent and figure stuff out for themselves but i used to let the dryer lint screen get as full and fluffy as it possibly could before emptying it because i thought it felt satisfying to peel it off

Okay but what if you were right

Popping bubble wrap is overrated compared to this.

you were right though. one of my favorite things about doing laundry in my college dorm because it was almost always full and often would be interesting colors.
