This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You can achieve a similar effect at home by using your hairdryer on the fogged-up mirror!
Well lah di dah ms "I own a hairdryer" /s
You can achieve the same thing without wasting any (electric) energy by rubbing a bit of shaving cream onto the mirror and buffing it out. Works for a while.
That's definitely the better long-term solution!
If my bathroom mirror is fogged up, the only reason I'd want it clear is to blow-dry my hair, so my method works out perfectly for me (and since it's ~10s of extra power usage, it's negligible). Otherwise your way is better :)
You can achieve the same thing without wasting any shaving cream by rubbing a bit of testicle onto the mirror and buffing it out. Works for a while until the testicle becomes cold.
i’ll be honest the amount of energy it took to produce, ship, and then sell that shaving cream to you dwarfs the cost of the power for a hairdryer that’s only on a few seconds. if you’re wanting to be pendantic about it that is overall more harmful to the climate.
not in a rude way i’m just sick of these BP-personal-climate-calculator-core takes about environmentalism. just because you prostrate yourself doesn’t mean it’s actually doing anything to help. live your life. we’re all gonna die within a couple centuries if we don’t overthrow oligarchy, tho.
Sure...shaving cream....
