    Have a dishwasher. I enjoy emptying and filling it up as its one of the few moments I get to catch up on podcasts.

    Get two dishwashers and as dishes get dirty they migrate from one to the other. Never put them into or take them out of another useless non-washing cabinet again.

    Hah, a long time ago I tried to avoid building up a bunch of dirty dishes by having just one of each (one plate, one cup, one fork, etc.) but instead of washing those I ended up re-using them without washing. I know a person who is unashamed to use disposable dishes for everything and I don’t know if that’s degradation or liberation.

    Did you know that rats will leave your dishes spotless? That’s the real life hack here.

      Laundry is easy, slap it into the washing machine and throw some detergent in then walk away till it’s done. Once it’s done, slap it into the dryer with a dryer sheet and clean out the lint then wait for it to be done. Ez-pz. Helps I dont give a shit about folding my clothes though, I just use two separate laundry baskets, one for clean and the other for dirty, like the degenerate that I am.

      Dishes though. Fuck me I hate doing them, even if you have a machine to do it. If you forget (or your roommate and brother 😡) to rinse your dishes off and just throw it into the sink then you gotta either let em soak or scrub them off with hot water and a scrubby. At that point you may as well not even bother with the god damn machine.

      I’m generally good about it, not always, but both my roommate and brother don’t give af despite me bitching at them to at least rinse their shit off after using a dish.

      Fuck dishes.

        Lol my mom bought a new washing machine a couple of years ago, then spent hours and hours watching it run and taking notes (like how full it got with water, how long each cycle took etc.). She tried out the “bedclothes” setting and almost called 911 because the tub actually fills up with water for that. Some real Beautiful Mind shit.

    I hate being a housewife. Make the beds, wash the dishes, cook dinner, and do the laundry. Then six months go by and you have to do it all over again.

    Life is just one big, long, futile fight against the ever-increasing entropy of an inevitably doomed universe and we can only hope to carve out some sort of fleeting happiness and meaning in our short lives.

    That’s why I just eat off my shirt. Already have to wash it so 2 for 1. And I don’t have to worry about something falling on my shirt, it’s great peace of mind.

      This is why I also eat off of your shirt. I assume you’re going to wash it at some point anyways, so it’s not like I’m making any more work for anyone. And you should be happy to know that your work is going even farther than you realized!

    I don’t mind doing dishes (or anything else in the kitchen), it’s the laundry I fucking hate doing. Seriously, the absolute worst chore ever. My mother is the exact opposite, she genuinely enjoys doing laundry but hates dealing with the kitchen (except cooking, she loves to cook). So my dad always cleans the kitchen every night, I haven’t seen her clean the kitchen (or bathrooms actually either) since I’ve been alive. I’m trying to be similar, I try to always clean the kitchen every night so my wife doesn’t have to, because that’s her least favourite chore. Unfortunately her second least favourite chore is laundry, so we both struggle to get it done.

      I have a big house, I replace the AC/Heating air filters very often and have a roomba that vacuums daily.

      It’s not dust free, but you can get away with only dealing with it on a monthly basis

    Mowing for me, especially in the middle of summer. If only the HOA fees for a townhouse (without lawns) weren’t so expensive, I would’ve chosen that instead of a SFH.
