- digg1520, on 10/05/2008, -5/+299This way is much cooler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guHj57fRJBU
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -12/+261I think I speak for most of us when I say that we watched that video because we were 10% curious and 90% liking the background music.
- 2ndEdition, on 10/05/2008, -3/+195engineers don't fold shirts. they wear them. again and again. for many days. for efficiency reasons of course.
- guyincognitoo, on 10/05/2008, -2/+163That design has been patented. It was on Big Idea some time last year. A housewife came up with it. Her's come with air holes for some reason though.
http://www.flipfold.com/ - CapeKid, on 10/05/2008, -1/+159Actually they're speed holes.
- basye, on 10/04/2008, -10/+124You'll want to turn the volume down for this one.
The Digg OCD crowd will love this. - uptwolait, on 10/05/2008, -4/+98Anyone got an AutoCad file for this machine I can download?
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -4/+90How an engineer folds a shirt: he gets his wife to do it.
(sensing incoming buries from female diggers) - MrM4nager, on 10/05/2008, -1/+85Why would you pay money for it when 1. It's unnecessary, and 2. You can make it out of cardboard.
- ChromaVita, on 10/05/2008, -0/+74You also forgot that the number of male diggers that enjoy sexist humor greatly outnumbers the amount of female diggers.
- CapeKid, on 10/05/2008, -1/+66Ya, I've been using this for about a year since it appeared on digg. It is much quicker/awesomer. It is how ninjas would fold shirts if they didn't fold them purely through intimidation.
- LucasVB, on 10/05/2008, -4/+61SPY SAPPIN' MAH LAUNDRY!
- chesterjosiah, on 10/05/2008, -0/+56Turn it down?
Crank that Mario World tune UP!!!! - 8randon, on 10/05/2008, -0/+52very detailed explanation of how to do that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An0mFZ3enhM - MyNameIsGusto, on 10/05/2008, -5/+55Engineer is credit to team!
- hit9ent, on 10/05/2008, -3/+50digg comments are becoming so predictable.
- Shiftyeyedgoat, on 10/05/2008, -1/+45Admit it... you envisioned an SNES controller in your hands.
- ngmcs8203, on 10/05/2008, -0/+42They've used a device like this for years in department stores.
- smoothmann, on 10/05/2008, -11/+50But will it fold Crysis?
- sputnike, on 10/05/2008, -0/+38Yeah I saw this on 'The Big Bang Theory' (tv show)...
- themastersb, on 10/05/2008, -0/+36The Digg OGC crowd loves it as well.
- FLarsen, on 10/05/2008, -0/+35No, they they it.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -1/+34It's so they can breathe.
- fwertz, on 10/05/2008, -2/+34Yeah, I painted mine chrome so it would go faster. It folds jeans faster than my go-cart.
- wilsonder, on 10/05/2008, -0/+32http://drop.io/tshirtfoldingmachine
In fact, yes I do. - koicho, on 10/05/2008, -2/+33Winner here lol - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjoNwGQD8xQ
- lolwutpear, on 10/05/2008, -0/+28Obviously he was referring to the robotic wife that the engineer made for himself.
- santaliqueur, on 10/05/2008, -1/+29But...but a housewife invented it!
- KSUdesigner, on 10/05/2008, -0/+28Probably because using less material makes it cheaper to make.
- Cwo655321, on 10/05/2008, -1/+27FTA: MartySchrader (2 months ago) +2
I think it comes from the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
Why do people comment steal? - RockSlice, on 10/05/2008, -1/+23you're missing a very important problem with that. Engineers have no time for social lives, so how are they supposed to find a wife in the first place?
- roijen, on 10/05/2008, -1/+23Old School, I like it
- poet, on 10/05/2008, -2/+23FTA: MartySchrader (2 months ago) +2
I think it comes from the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
Why do people comment steal? - Llanowar, on 10/05/2008, -1/+21And I certainly rather have an asian woman than a few pieces of taped together cardboard.
- roijen, on 10/05/2008, -0/+19becoming? :o
- 11familyguy11, on 10/05/2008, -0/+19Sheldon is a theoretical physicist. He refers to Engineers as 'Oompa Loompas of science'.
- linagee, on 10/05/2008, -1/+19http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Made-up_words#Speed ...
- HiroOfShadows, on 10/05/2008, -1/+19You must have faith.
- morphinapg, on 10/05/2008, -1/+18you forgot ***** You!
- Slackdragon, on 10/05/2008, -0/+16*couldn't
- Enasni1212, on 10/05/2008, -0/+16Now I have to fire up my SNES...
- l00pee, on 10/05/2008, -0/+16And this is how to do it better, faster and without props... This is linked from the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-df-Qq829fg&NR=1 - JoshuaGross, on 10/05/2008, -0/+16Someone needs a girlfriend!
And that would be me, because I'm about to go make one of these - haiyaabusa, on 10/05/2008, -2/+17I like the part where he folds the shirt.
- BRENTON8907, on 10/05/2008, -1/+16That's where I saw it. Good show too
- bobrobon, on 10/05/2008, -6/+21Dugg for the music.
- VivaLaUndead, on 10/05/2008, -1/+15not exactly genius. i'm pretty sure you can buy one at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
- RockSlice, on 10/05/2008, -0/+14A patent doesn't mean you can't make one yourself. It just means you can't sell it.
- Akraz, on 10/05/2008, -1/+15this was on an episode of Big Bang Theory. He was using a plastic one.
