Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Doing the dishes, vacuuming, washing my car, mowing the lawn .. Pretty much any task that I can't just do once and be over with. Feels pointless to do stuff that I'll just need to do again in a few weeks or so.
I feel that. Especially when cleaning the apartment around. Dust is infectious on every surface, it'll come back within the week and just build again from where it left off. It's just tiring to have to deal with that on a constant basis while wasting money on cleaning products that promise it'll get rid of it for prolonged periods of time.
And when shit has hair around? That's even more annoying. I get plastic utensils, plastic plates/bowls and paper plates to reserve myself from having to clean so much. I reserve actual dish washing to a dishwasher to spare myself.
solution is easy. just stop living in your apartment. if nobody lives there, it can't get dirty.
why do you think those empty houses are always so clean?
Depressingly, even empty houses get dirty.
Same here, to a certain degree. I do it as soon as I come from work so I can "reward myself" with rest/cuddling/videogames after. I'm also a bit of a maniac regarding tidiness so I guess that helps. 🤷♂️
