Mine isn’t, I have a white dog that sheds everywhere so my lint is a bit lighter than I think it would be otherwise

Well, that dog hair is technically part of your wardrobe if you’re wearing it all the time.

I mean, you’d have to wear your entire wardrobe only once without cleaning the filter for that to be true. I swear I’m fun at parties

If you’re one load away from an electrical fire - yes

Otherwise it’s just that load which should be similar colors if you’re washing according to the instructions

I have always knowingly done laundry wrong, and I don't care. Everything that's not greasy work clothes goes it at once 😂 I guess that's why I'm not allowed to do laundry anymore....

That assumes your clothes shed lint at the same amount. But that's highly unlikely.

For real, people make a big deal about separating whites from colours. I throw it all in one load and use cold water. Way easier, nothing bleeds.

Me too. Fun that is. The color of the lint is the average of all 'shedding' clothes tilted to the color of the items that are shedding the most.

Dr Karl won an ignoble prize about this. Look it up or don't. Your call.

The color of my dryer lint matches the sorted color of clothes I just washed. I clean out the king tray before each use. As well as the water drawer to be almost empty, since some water is needed to properly dry

I dont dry my shirts/pants in the dryer because of shrinkage

If --> when

As a dog owner, they are constantly coated in dog hair... unless they have a hairless dog.

I feel that, I have white rabbits.

Do you follow them ?

I did. My girlfriend took Ozzy in the car and I followed in the truck when we moved houses. I followed them from the part of Florida that is on Central Time and is really lower Alabama to Tampa. I never did see Laurence Fishburne in pince-nez, nor did I ever see Carrie Ann Moss in skintight leather, and that's just a travesty.

Maybe you took the wrong pills. Either way , good luck.

And only if every item you have shed lint evenly (proportional to their surface area.)

Yep. I wash a load of whites about twice a year when I have to make a special appearance in particularly white special clothes. Anything else goes in together.

How do I always end up with purple? I pretty much wear blue, green, and black… no red

All I know is, I took a pill and the side effects turned my piss blue, my nose hair got mange, and now I have the uncontrollable urge to slap people and whoop like Ric Flair.

Wrong pill indeed.
