‘We are doomed’ people shout when young people show how much effort they put into doing the laundry
”DOOMED” – this is how people think about the future after discovering that the younger generation is taking extreme measures to figure out how to wash their clothes.

According to the young parent, iPhone giant Apple recently launched a new feature automatically translates all symbols on clothing labels.
This means those with a smartphone can use their camera which will then decode what each mini symbol stands for – as long as your iPhone is running iOS 17.
The process is quite simple: When a user takes a photo of a clothing tag, a suggestion to “Look up Laundry” appears on their phone, instructing the person what to do and what to avoid.
For example, the built-in function, like the label, warns you not to throw the garment in the dryer or that the garment is safe to iron.
The delighted mother took to the social media platform to share her discovery, saying that thanks to this ‘hack’ she had only just discovered how to do laundry.
”POV [Point of View]: You’re 23 years old when you learn that your camera roll can tell you how to wash clothes properly.”
In the now viral videowhich has been viewed more than 1.7 million times, Jennifer also demonstrated how effective the feature was.
After taking a photo of the label of what appeared to be a puffer jacket, the mother discovered that she was not allowed to bleach it and that the item was safe to tumble dry.
However, the reactions online were not so positive, as dozens of people flocked to the comments in disbelief.
For example, one of them thought: “The symbols speak for themselves…”
Another agreed, adding: “We are doomed.”
“Just because you can’t understand why you’re planning to do that,” someone else chimed in.
”Generation Z needs the phone for everything. I can’t survive without it,” a fourth shared his observations.
Luckily, the new feature had also found some new fans, who thanked Jennifer for demonstrating how it worked.
“My mind is blown,” one person was stunned.
“The way I LITERALLY looked up what the symbols meant yesterday,” someone else added.
”It can also detect dog breeds,” claimed a fellow phone enthusiast.
