    Whenever “what’s your favorite technology” comes up, I’m like, there’s a magic box in my kitchen I can stuff full of dirty dishes and they’re clean the next day. And you can tell by their reaction whether they grew up with a dishwasher, or if they were the dishwasher.

      Then there are those of us who grew up with dishwashers but also with mothers who made us spotlessly clean all the dishes before putting them in the machine.

      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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    If I ever get rich, I’m getting a maid and a chef. Or honestly if if android service bots become affordable, I’d get one. Idc if I’m at risk of a robot uprising…household chores are too annoying and never ending!!
