Took the words out of my mouth. I was literally thinking exactly this before I clicked on the comments and saw it was the top comment.
I finally forced myself to clean the bathroom last weekend after god knows how long and gave myself a nasty sinus infection that I'm still dealing with from all the dust I kicked up lol
I'm sure there's a lesson in there but my depression and idiocy will more than likely override it lol
I told my psychiatrist that the most depressing thing in the world is that I'll never be done with laundry. She lingered for a beat and then said..."yeah..."
You forgot the never-ending loads of laundry. Every time you do something you have to put a load of laundry in. Then fold it. Then think you're finished with the laundry and go down and put another load in
We don't have a dryer and the lines only hold one load of laundry. So every time I know I've done all I can do for 2 whole days. The bliss is enormous. Sucks if I accidentally skip a few days though as it is almost impossible to catch up on a backlog.
You forget the part where you spend *1/3 of your day (if not more) performing complex operations mostly for the sake of "number goes up" because that is important to something called "the economy".
The part you describe is actually the "free time" part of the day.
Hah! I hear that. Every time I turn it on, I spend a few minutes picking stuff up off the floor that it's going to get stuck on. It's actually kind of a nice way to maintain the floor space... But it absolutely would not have worked in the house I grew up in. Too many shoes all over the place, et cetera, et cetera.
The night we got it, we were going to watch a movie. Instead, we ended up watching the robot vacuum clean the floor, totally entertained. I have a dog and a cat and so when I have time I try to vacuum but more often than not I just don't vacuum! And we end up with tumble weeds absolutely all over the place. Now when I go to sleep I can click go and the little dude just cruises around picking up all the junk. I love it. It even mops,! Even though I didn't want one that did that, I love it now.

Or you don't clean at all because you're a dumb, depressed piece of shit that's just rotting away. :(

A couple of times, I have done my final load of laundry butt ass naked, just so I can have the feeling of knowing that ALL my clothes are clean.

Sorry, 1/3 based on the 8 hours of sleep 8 hours of work 8 hours of free time structure.

Smart adults pop out a couple of serfs to help with some of the chores.

I'm not going to inflict life on two innocent souls; particularly not for selfish reasons like 'I don't want to clean up after myself'.

Well if you have a better solution than owning slaves then I'd like to hear it 😤

Do it yourself instead of forcing your children to do it.
What a poor being you seem to be.

Same here! And the best part at first is actually watching the thing cleaning the floor for you. Oh the bliss...

I refuse to do any of this on the weekends, I only work on my hobbies, so I just spent +5 hours deep cleaning my 3d printers. lol

Don't forget about "self care". Whatever the fuck that is. My therapist keeps telling me and I don't get it.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 271d
I think that means keeping our toenails trimmed.

yermaw@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 272d
You punk kids have to hurry up and grow up so you can start doing laundry for yourself.
jk I know youll be back every week with a fresh load

If you don't like it, you can quit it and open an onlyfans, make millions and vanish. No one forces you to do real adulthood.

I think this requires you to be female and attractive.

From one side yes, but today with AI and Photoshop tools, you don't need to attractive.

Digit@lemmy.wtf · 1 pts · 272d
If that's the definition, I'm not adult[ing]. :/
Did I skip it? A friend says I'm "retired" (prematurely, because of ailments/disabilities).
Or is this just an ableist definition?

A messy house wont be the end of the world. Abandon your chores. Go outside.
