I say mopping, if you had shoes with mucrofibre mop fabrics on them

My evidence is i just did exactly that by happenstance and it formed the basis for this post. Fight me

Cooking, it's a world of difference with good equipment.

Mopping just needs the right tunes.

Most chores do.

It's the ones you can't do while jamming out: ie. ones that require you to be still or quiet or concentrating; those are the ones that suck.

Well, and vacuuming.

Tunes yes always. But also shoes

I would literally pick that over a robot mop doing it automatically any normal time I appreciate the even minimal added movement exercise haha but that would be sick if I was overwhelmed with other shite and I just needed dirty floors to not be a problem any longer In the way Stewie just needed Lois to not be alive any longer

With a shovel, it sucks. With a full sized excavator...so much fun!

Washers and dryers. I HATE the "100 options on the screen pad" bullshit "features" on new washers and dryers. Its ridiculous. For 99% of the loads we use the same setting and we dont need 100 ways to dry clothes.

Just make a simple machine with one knob, thats analog and get rid of the ridiculous wifi and screen "features" that now cost the same as replacing the entire machine when they break.

I choose to believe appel and "smart" appliance manufacturers want to get you to have a ritual and prime you to do things their unnecessary and self-interest influenced way you have to do things as a price of admission reality of using their overly expensive product, take-it-or-leave-it style

Like a drug but also sunk cost shit. Like, you put all this money to our expensive product, be a real shame if you failed to acclimate to our designs and "philosophy" undergirding it

Dishes - with the simple addition of a pressure washer with a soap function, unbreakable glasses and plates, you have a fun game for the whole family.

Mowing. A mower that you drive or ride on is definitely more fun (and less tiring) than a push-mower. My yard is not big enough to justify buying one. On the other hand, I bought a robot mower which is fun in a way because you get to watch it mowing while you drink coffee on your porch.

Self propelled mower plus duct tape on a rope attached to a post n the middle of your yard?

Agreed! And then window cleaning mitts! I've been outdoors a lot, so a guinea pig in your eavestrough to clear them! A herd of Empala (sp?) to keep the lawn trim. Hedgehogs to pickup leaves (bowl them for increased fun!)
