Pillowcases are a government invention designed to bait consumers into buying a product that has no real purpose

1  2018-05-31 by ogogod

Ok so hear me out. Pillowcases are one of the greatest scams in human history and have been around forever but only now is anybody catching on. Pillows are a necessity and everyone has one, however a pillow is equally as effective at providing comfort with or without a pillow case. So why do we use them? Somewhere along the line we have been convinced into thinking that we need to cover our pillows with a piece of fabric that apparently performs some sort of function. I'm not sure how this was done but whatever brainwashing technique used was clearly successful. This is my hypothesis: the government invented pillowcases in an attempt to produce more revenue without raising taxes and provide an overall boost to the economy. They effectively creatced a whole new industry, one that targets the entirety of humanity as it's consumers.

Really makes you think. Stay woke

Because it's easier to wash a pillowcase than a pillow. Try another shitpost.

Op's bait is weak sauce

OP's mom obvious does the laundry. :/

I have a few smaller fleece pillows I need to wash the entire pillow and it suuucks. Takes forever to dry.

lol, first world problems!!!

My issue is with dust mites. A good encasement pillow case is worth its weight in ZZZZZZs.

Gold.

Holshitpost, no kidding. I have pillow cases that keep me from breathing the ever present dust mites that kick my allergic ass.

HAIL PILLOW CASES!

Because I drool I need a pillowcase that is easy to wash.

This is my favorite thread ever!

Have you tried washing a pillow? Now wash just the pillowcase and get back to me on the comparison.

But won't my pillowcase get all lumpy?

Is that you Eddie bravo?

Ok guys hear me out on this one. Evidence suggests OP’s penis it too small to be viewed by the human eye.

Rule #5

They're useless unless you take a plastic kitchen wastebasket bag/liner and it on your pillow before you put a pillowcase on. It keeps the pillow clean, and you should change your pillowcase often. You have to tape the plastic bag to secure it.

I find it easier to just wrap the plastic kitchen wastebasket bag/liner around my head each night before bed. My pillows have never been cleaner!

Go to bed-wake up dead.

It makes me uncomfortable that you would recommend people put kitchen bags on there pillows. People die like that, especially children.

Well if you don't know what I mean by securing with tape (wide cellophane packing tape like you can buy at the US post offices, you can always buy plastic pillow covers that have zippers.

This sounds like a terrible idea. They put warnings on the bags to tell you never to do this.

Maybe you shouldn't even have them in your home if you believe this so strongly.

I have them for lining the trashcan but people shouldn't sleep on them. And they are full of bpa and weird scents! You want people to sleep on this?

And the glue in packing tape is full of formaldehyde. What in the world? Who is this afraid of pillows?

Agreed. I don’t think that sounds like a good idea. It must be so wrinkly sounding too.

I agree scented kitchen bags and all scented products are toxic and they're a pet peeve of mine, but I like to keep my pillow clean so I use the unscented kitchen wastebasket liners well taped to protect them.

you live in your parent's basement with next to no lighting... of course pillows don't matter to you ;)

this isn't rocket science dude. pillow cases stop your actual pillow from being too terribly stained.

you are either pretending you don't know this - which is weird

or you really don't know this - which is scary.

its the quality of the paid shills that are sent to shitpost conspiracy.

Pillow cases the devil.

If you aren't using a pillowcase your pillow must look like a civil war bandage

I’ve heard it all now..

Can you imagine how bad your acne would be if you used a dirty pillow every night instead of a clean pillowcase

remember hair grease was very popular at various times.

also people didn't wash their hair daily as they do now.

dude

I think the Jehovah’s Witnesses have the answer in this video. It’s about 1 minute in...

Socks and lamp shades aren't useless and neither are pillow cases. You should be ashamed

Quit wasting everyone’s time.
