^ no matter what colour my cloths are, even with a white t-shirt :shrug:
could it be to do with the small amounts of blue dye in the fabric detergent to make whites appear brighter to the human eye? :chin:

Well, in terms of "innie" buttons I at least have a theory of why bellybutton fluff gets in there in the first place; it's because sometimes we don't dry the inside of our bellybutton after we shower (or because the bellybutton is the last place to dry after sweating), and static electricity generated from our clothes rubbing our skin means the dry fluff is attracted to the moisture.

Take that Dr Karl. Dumbass couldn't figure it out.

I have an innie. I never dry it & have almost no hair on my stomach & i don't remember ever having lint in there.

IDK, why is the dryer lint in the filter always grey no matter what color clothes you put in it? :)

Better question: why must today's foremost amusing thread concern blue dust bunnies in our navels?
