Dfw in the past 12 months has been clearing aircraft for takeoff before the preceding aircraft has even rotated down the runway.

We were cleared for takeoff a few seconds before the preceding E-175 had even rotated; and gave it about 5 seconds before we started the takeoff roll.

Title: B737-800 flight crew member reported encountering wake turbulence shortly after takeoff at DFW; and stated insufficient spacing was a contributing factor.
