Depicted in the image is Sisyphus pushing his legendary boulder up a hill, written in the boulder are the words, “The fucking dishes and the fucking laundry.”

End image description.

Straight up though I recently learned a really weird way of editing pictures for creative distortion (it involves Audacity (the sound editor)) and I straight up forgot to do both before work.

Yesterday and today.

Good news is I learned a lot on how editing those pictures works. Bad news is tonight’s dinner was cereal eaten out of a mug with a fork.

    at least laundry machines you can just dump your shit into and press go, dishwashers need careful loading and unloading which is hell

      What!? Laundry is way worse than dishwashers. It’s a 3-4 hour time commitment that needs to be repeated if you don’t complete it in ~8 hours.

      • You can forget about dishes for a day and they will still be clean the next.
      • If you forget clothes in the washing machine for a day, they need to be washed again because they smell bad.
      • If they are kept in the dryer too long they need to be run through another cycle because of wrinkles.
      • You then need to fold them them and put them away.

      I would gladly never do laundry again and only use the dishwasher for the rest of my life.

        Hm, i don’t see it as a time commitment because i don’t spend that much time away from home anyways and thus the only time spent on it is putting it in and taking it out along with setting an alarm so i remember to move it to the drier and then take it out, i also don’t care about wrinkles in clothes because i’m not a victorian noble.

        As for folding, again we’re not victorian nobles so just roll shit up and stuff it in the drawer, it’s fine.

      True. But on the other hand, at least when you forget about a load of dishes, you still have clean dishes. Forget about a load of laundry and you’re right back to where you started.

        Good washer-driers are had to find but being able to put a single cycle on and come back to fully washed and dried clothing is a huge improvement for ADHD folk over having washing and drying as a two separate processes. Definitely worth the investment.

          Oh yeah. I suppose this is very much a North America problem where most of us have a separate washer and dryer and are required to move from one to the other in between. A washer/condensing dryer would certainly fix this. Unfortunately, I rent so there’s no chance of me getting one.

            In the UK rental properties nearly always include space for a washer and landlords are almost always thrilled when you say “hey, I have my own machine I want to put wear on instead of yours so could you please take that one out.” (Assuming they even provide white goods as part of the rental agreement in the first place.)
