  I’m gonna go ahead and assume the question was asked in good faith and answer it the same way.

  If your washing machine is working, there should be no fecal matter left on the clothes after washing. However, many clothes lose color over time due to a number of factors, one being the dye slowly bleeding into wash water each time you do laundry. Many black dyes start to look orange or brownish as they fade, and two socks won’t necessarily fade at the same rate. The only way to put the color back is to redye them, which might not work depending on what the sock is made out of.

  I wouldn’t worry about poop, these are clean, just faded . However, if you want to have 2 black socks, you’re gonna have to buy a new pair.

  Normally, I sleep too deeply to remember my dreams. I only remember them if I wake during them. However, if I don’t completely awaken, sometimes I can go right back into the dream, but I have some autonomy now and some control over the narrative. Like, I know it’s a TV show and I can change the script. I’ve always been able to do it, I feel like it’s a trade off for nearly never remembering my dreams.

  We used Hello Fresh. Both my partner and I had basic cooking skills, but were not very good cooks. He was also a very picky eater. Hello Fresh reduced the overwhelming amount of recipes in the world down to a more reasonable number to choose from. As we kept going, we started to see the same techniques, like reduction sauces, happen in new configurations and we started to understand how they work, not just follow the instructions. It also helped my partner overcome a lot of his pickiness by being in control of what recipes we had each week, allowing him to explore new ingredients when he felt comfortable.
