Question

"LAUNDRY TAKES ALL DAY!? JFC HOW LONG DO U WAIT BEFORE LOADS"

This is a post on an online forum.
And What I don't understand is that pluralized noun "loads" there.

What in the world does that mean?
Or is it lacking of the pronoun "it" preceding it?

BTW. Why do I always have to manually click on the "NEXT" button when I finish writing a post instead of using the TAB key on my keyboard to jump onto it and conveniently proceed with the process?
That's somewhat inconvenient to be honest. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME for reading anyways.

I'm doing laundry, and I may have to run several loads to get the job done. A load is machine-full of items.
I have no idea what your NEXT question deals with. Let's hope someone else can help you with that problem.

I think this thread could benefit from elaboration. The post in question is in the context of an American-style, full-size washing machine, which may not be standard in other countries (I have no idea how people do laundry in other countries. In fact, I'm a native English speaker in the US, and I don't use a washing machine - I do the laundry in the kitchen sink).

In an American-style, full-size washing machine, you put the clothes you want to wash into it, along with laundry detergent, and then press the start button. The machine then - completely automatically and without human intervention - goes through a wash cycle: fill with water, wash-agitate, drain water, fill again with water, rinse-agitate, drain water, and spin-wring. At the end of this cycle, which takes about 25 minutes, you've done "one load of wash." Sometimes people "do more than one load of wash." Then, as soon as the wash cycle is complete, they remove the washed clothes, and then put in another batch of clothes to be washed. So the answer to the question, "How long do you wait before loads?", would be "25 minutes."
