Towel Usage
« on: April 03, 2024, 02:34:24 pm »
The many uses for a towel:

  • Drying things off
  • Clothing substitute
  • Pillow
  • Blanket
  • Signal flag
  • Tourniquet
  • Wound dressing
  • Automotive (etc.) cleaning rag
  • Shoes (not great, but more protective than barefoot)
  • Fire starter
  • Fire quencher (if wetted)
  • Wind break
  • Sail (better than nothing)
  • Window privacy curtain
  • Dust mask (I've done it, it works)
  • Drop-cloth for painting / construction
  • Packing bindle
  • Toilet paper (non-flushable)
  • Insulation
  • Whip
  • Oven-mitt / Trivet
  • Shin pads
  • Door stopper
  • Baby swaddle
  • Bib
  • Hat / Ear warmer
  • Seat cushion
  • Shower curtain
  • Pet bed
  • Scarf
  • Cooking apron
  • Blindfold
  • Napkin
  • Water filter (for large debris)
  • Knee pad
  • Wash cloth
  • Table cloth
  • Sun-shade
  • Trebuchet projectile holder
  • Torch fabric
  • Door-flap
  • Rope
  • Draft stopper / smell barrier
  • Padding for low hanging pipes
  • Cape
  • Saddle blanket
  • Landscaping fabric

I'm sure I've missed some.

And the numbered list doesn't seem to go higher than 10
Edit: Numbered lists seem to work now, there was some strange formatting glitch that truncated the 1st digit for me

You had me worried that I'd somehow missed Towel Day (25/May), most importantly that it would be when I would "Wear the lilac" (I have, on occasion, slung a lilac towel on, scarf-like, to do both in one.)  But thanks for reminding me. I must check the garden/laundry-pile to see what might be feasible in a little over a month.

That also works to calm down panicked birds, apparently. Not sure if all species, but at least some of them basically chill when they can't see anymore.

They’re also good for cat burritos.

… no, you fiend, it’s to stop the cat from scratching you when you’re trying to examine them or something. Friends, not food.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Unravel and re-spin into a really long thread, then weave into something useful. Like a towel.
