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.

LPT, don't run your clothes through a full cycle to dewrinkle.

Throw in a wet rag and put it on low for ~30m. This will also soften hang dried clothes and remove pet hair.

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.
