    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 simplified it. I make virtually the same two meals every day, and I use the same skillet, utencils, bowl, etc. every day. So, I just wash as I go. The sink always has the few items I use every day, but never gets full.

    Here’s everything I use every day:

    In the sink:
    Fork
    Spoon
    Sharp knife
    Large bowl
    Small bowl (I don’t really need this, but it’s habit now)

    On the stove:
    Skillet
    Tongs

    On the counter:
    Coffee mug
    Large metal insulated tumbler for cold drinks
    Water glass for taking pills

      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

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

    I don’t know why I hate it but I’ll let the sink fill with dishes because I dread unloading the dishwasher…a 90 second task that seems like it take 20 minutes and requires extrenuous effort.

      One of the best things about my marriage is that for 85% of tasks, our preferences and distastes compliment. Unloading the dishwasher and putting clothes away for me is a matter of 3-5 business days. My wife loves folding laundry and doesn’t mind putting away dishes. I have no problems loading the dishwasher or sorting dirty laundry/starting the machine. Its pretty great that it works out that way.

      We both suck at planning and deciding what to make for dinner though.

    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.
