What's a dryer sheet, I'm nearly 40 and I've never heard of that

It's a sheet of chemicals that makes your clothes smell better.

Downside is it adds a sort of...coating to clothing which for some types of clothing, like wicking sports apparel, makes them less effective.

They're absolutely useless and when I learned that I stopped using them and there was literally no negative change in my post-laundry output.

Sous vide style slow cooking, vacuumized in a bag, had it's merits as you can't really do it any other way. This, however is a lazy way to avoid cleaning (like using plastic plates to avoid doing the dishes).
