someone should invent a chore that is done permanently once you do the chore

Deb Chachra@rstevens Having moved households recently, Iāve decided thereās both āunfucking my habitatā* (ie regular chores) and then thereās what I refer to as āperma-unfuckingā which is some kind of (re)configuration task that only has do be done ~once (like I need to install the spice rack in the kitchen).

@debcha iām good at the slow grind, but put off the perma stuff. this is good terminology.

@rstevens I think many of us are bad at the perma-stuff, honestly, in part because thereās often dependencies (the spice rack requires a trip to the hardware store, frex) but mostly because we can usually āwork aroundā it. I try to use similar āslow grindā strategies, like asking myself to do 30min *towards* perma-unfucking something, rather than expecting myself to complete it and check it off my to-do list (which explains why I have a word for that whole class of tasks).
@rstevens But yeah, there is a really profound idea here about how entropy has and will always have the upper hand in the universe, and life consists of little islands of complex, self-organizing order that work to hold that grim chaos at bay, if only for a while.

Naturally_Narrow@rstevens washing dishes is my top pick.
Marcos Dione@Narrowboat_LunaBetty @rstevens that's a dishwasher machine, if you can get one. I never had one until my 30+s, from where I am and back then they're expensive and not common. I didn't trust them.
Now mine's broken, I bloody miss it.

Jesse Morris@rstevens what if someone already did that chore?
Hugo Mills@rstevens You wash the dishes, you clean the bath, you hoover the floors... and then six months later, you've got to do it all over again.

2something@rstevens The problem is once someone invents such a chore, someone will do it, and then we'll need someone to invent another chore that can be permanently completed.
Andrew@2something @rstevens can't we just invent it once and have it be permanently invented

Kind of true. When I was 17 It was a bit of a chore to find someone to take my virginity.

trainguyrom@rstevens I repainted my garage a few months ago. That's a chore that should last a couple decades or more!
keeps vis.social running@rstevens packing up your mom's home, because she's not going to be using it anymore. That's a chore I will never have to do again.
And it's inspired me to oh so slowly reduce what I have in my own home, to reduce the chore for my kids. That's still an ongoing effort.

My cousins and I had to do that for my grandparents' house, where my mother lived.
I hear that it inspired my uncle and aunt to start reducing their stuff, too...
