I have nightmares about owning a robot vacuum and it running in to cat vomit and smearing from one end of the house to another. I’ve actually gotten two in Irks and have given them away. I do not however own a dishwasher. Thst would be nice,
@kjady cats or dogs’ll eat the cat vomit. Dog , though, well, i knew a guy that ended up getting rid of their white sofa, & their expensive robot vac (after the was spread everywhere, & then the dog got on & off the sofa throughout the day, while they were gone, EEWWWWW)…
@kjady the vacuum won’t be smart enough to do that; often they’ll drive themselves off a cliff, down some stairs, up an incline they can’t quite make it over and get a wheel stuck in mid-air…
Dog poop picker upper.
I have had a couple conversations with my tenant about picking up after his dog but it seems to fall on deaf ears. I had to pick up 10 piles today just to be able to do some yard work and not smell it or step in it.
I’m starting to think it’s time to invite him to no longer live in my house.
@Kyeh
A good roommate is so hard to find. My last one was most tolerable because he wasn’t home but a couple days a week. But then he got a crush on me. After I rejected him he moved out while I wasn’t home and left a note saying not to contact him.
I like having a roommate because their rent pays 68% of my mortgage. That affords me to travel internationally a few times a year while also having someone to care for the house and plants.
@kittykat9180@Kyeh
Finding a good roommate is tough and you don’t really KNOW how they’re going to be until they’re already moved in which can be scary!
Him leaving is SO MUCH better than some of the other senecios that I can think of when someone gets a crush.
One of my favorite places I lived I had 3 roommates, a huge Victorian house right down the road from the beach. I had the entire 3rd floor consisting of 3 large rooms and my own bathroom. The refrigerator sharing was the biggest problem and it was only because of 1 person eating everyone’s labeled food. And then someone’s guest stole something of mine that had been a very personal and sentimental gift. That sucked!
Other than that I LOVED it there and 38 years later I’m still friends with 2 of the strangers I first moved in with.
@Kyeh@Lynnerizer
Omg, in college I lived with my best friends in a large apartment. We were broke af but had so much fun.
Those were the best years of my life. Unfortunately, we’ve all gone our separate ways since then.
@Kyeh
I hadn’t heard of the phrase “arm farm” pertaining to training robots. While dissenting the article I found a few interesting robot videos.
Cooking and household chores and farmers replacing humans.
Basic cleaning is pretty easy peezy, especially when you stay on top of it. It’s that deep cleaning chore that causes waves of dread! I want a deep cleaning robot that cleans the forgotten things like blinds, baseboards, and ceiling fans.
@Lynnerizer@meeberly Agreed. That’s why Lina-The-Cleana comes to our house every other Tuesday. My wife and I (both retired now) handle the day-to-day tidying and Lina does the deeper cleaning. Works for us.
@Lynnerizer Geez, I’m the opposite. Strange, I don’t mind sorting & folding & putting away laundry or emptying the dishwasher, because you’re handling CLEAN THINGS! Whereas doing the cleaning seems tedious & unpleasant to me - greasy dishes, stinky clothes …
Picking up after my children. Just the job of picking things up and putting them away. And please don’t come after me with “they should pick up after themselves.” They’re young and mostly neurodivergent, it’s not as easy as one might think.
@DLPanther if you had any idea of how big those clutter drops were. The difficulty is my kids exhibit a level of devastation at the prospect of bs reduction. It’s such a painful process.
Robotic cat-debris-collection unit that can handle barf, cat hair, tracked litter, shredded bits, and the occasional “I am unhappy and I will misbehave” deposits.
Bathroom cleaner.
Definitely!
@yakkoTDI I came here to say that.
I would pay an irresponsible amount of money to have something that can put away clothes after cleaning them.
@TheGreatNico
That would be a maid! Lol
@TheGreatNico I wouldn’t even mind having to put them away if I had a device that could sort and fold them first.
@macromeh @TheGreatNico Not so easy for robots, apparently - see the article I posted below.
Dusting

@kjady Today’s deal might clean up the cat vomit.
@heartny I’ve seen first hand what these things can do with dog poop. I want no part in it.
@kjady cats or dogs’ll eat the cat vomit. Dog
, though, well, i knew a guy that ended up getting rid of their white sofa, & their expensive robot vac (after the 
was spread everywhere, & then the dog got on & off the sofa throughout the day, while they were gone, EEWWWWW)…
@heartny @kjady I know your pain.
@gnoogie @kjady
issues. 
And here I was going to suggest today’s offer to my niece who’s large dog has been having stomach/
Thanks for the heads up!
@kjady the vacuum won’t be smart enough to do that; often they’ll drive themselves off a cliff, down some stairs, up an incline they can’t quite make it over and get a wheel stuck in mid-air…
@pakopako My favorite vacuum video is one going missing and the own discovering it escaped out the front door never to be seen again.
A robotic house cleaner- do it all
@famwelch
you mean Rosie!! Looks like we’re almost there!!
@famwelch @llangley
I’ve been waiting my entire life to live like the Jetsons!
I wonder if the robo vac is as close as I’m going to get…
@famwelch @llangley @Lynnerizer Jetson One. Order yours today.
@famwelch @Lynnerizer @tweezak yes please!!!
Weed puller.
@NapkinEater I got tired of that so now I pay a company to spray my yard once a year in the spring.
@NapkinEater
I’ve got a great weed puller and his name is husband!
@Lynnerizer sigh…I am husband.
@NapkinEater
Then YOU need to name yours WIFE!
Laundry doer
Something to gather all the trash and take it to the dumpster.
Dog poop picker upper.

@kittykat9180 It really does sound like it’s time!

Those were the days!
Molly Maids. They do it all.
@duodec
🫧
EXACTLY!
Rosey
@hchavers where do I sign up?
@hchavers Last name Palm? Doesn’t she have some sisters?
Why are we on here this early guys, WE NEED SLEEP
@AlienCookie I am not allowed to sleep at work.
Something to do litterbox duties (scoop, wash, dry, add litter,
to the trash)…
@gnoogie
The atomic litter box has been one of our best purchases! We’ve had it for about a year and my guy STILL raves about how great it is!
Robot dishwasher. Once the warranty expires, I can hack the robot into doing other chores.
This article was in my newsfeed and it’s pretty appropriate here for this thread:
What is Moravec’s Paradox? The theory that explains why robots suck at doing laundry.

Fridge cleaner-outer

@meeberly and behind fridge. And the oven.
@meeberly
I find it totally worth it to call in the professional cleaners for those BIG jobs!
@Lynnerizer @meeberly Agreed. That’s why Lina-The-Cleana comes to our house every other Tuesday. My wife and I (both retired now) handle the day-to-day tidying and Lina does the deeper cleaning. Works for us.
I voted dishes and then realized I would kill for a robot that took care of laundry
@roachy Ironically, that might result in you doing a lot of laundry in an institutional setting.
@roachy I saw that on Dateline.
@macromeh you mean a vacation? Sign me up
Cleaning had never bothered me but I couldn’t stand emptying the dishwasher. If that was my worst problem I’d be golden! Lol
TBT…
I’ve been waiting since childhood to live the life of the Jetsons!
@Lynnerizer Geez, I’m the opposite. Strange, I don’t mind sorting & folding & putting away laundry or emptying the dishwasher, because you’re handling CLEAN THINGS! Whereas doing the cleaning seems tedious & unpleasant to me - greasy dishes, stinky clothes …
Laundry… I can bring myself to wash it all but putting it away is the bane of my existance. We have clean clothes baskets EVERYWHERE.
Something that will clean by shower, my gutters, my toilet, and my alimentary canal. Maybe the basement too.
I wouldn’t really need anything to help me clean if my house was simply an insulated ball, but alas it is not.
@pakopako
I would HIGHLY recommend you farm out these jobs to AT LEAST 2 bots.
@pakopako The problem with giant gerbil balls is that they’re hard to tie down during a windstorm, andy don’t fit in most garages.
Picking up after my children. Just the job of picking things up and putting them away. And please don’t come after me with “they should pick up after themselves.” They’re young and mostly neurodivergent, it’s not as easy as one might think.
@jitc I want to generalize this to all clutter. The “upstairs drop” and “downstairs drop” zones always have something in them
@DLPanther if you had any idea of how big those clutter drops were. The difficulty is my kids exhibit a level of devastation at the prospect of bs reduction. It’s such a painful process.
