Reply to comment by Cindexxx in It stands to reason that, after doing laundry, at least one pair of socks are the same two that were paired up together when purchased. by RTR_ChrisK

That sounds good but I imagine that’s hardly a typical laundry timescale for most people; certainly not for me.

I line dry whenever I can, for example. Dryer is more for wet days or “I need this now” emergencies.

Well it is winter. In the summer I usually just use the dryer for socks and underwear because they're a pain to line dry. In the winter I redirect the exhaust back into the house. Why waste the heat? But in summer, even venting outside, it's a lot of leftover heat I need to cool off. So you have a point there.
