I did not know gas powered dryers existed. Is that just super old or something?

They are super common here in the midwest. I don't know anyone with an electric drier.

Is that midwest usa? They're news to me jn the Netherlands

[–] downhomechunk@midwest.social 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, midwest USA. We all have gas pipes into the house for heating. So it became the default for stoves, hot water heating and clothes dryers.

I've committed to not buying new gas appliances when the old stuff breaks. I switched to a heat pump water heater last year. I really want to get rid of my gas stove next.

There's gas here too, I just never thought of using it for a dryer. Personally I'd like to ditch has ASAP too
