Which is more satisfying:

Washing a dirty dustcloth and watching the brown water swirl down the drain?

or
Vacuuming and hearing a bunch of loud crackles?
  •   3 comments
Definitely the washing.
If I heard crackling coming from the vacuum I'd wonder what was getting stuck in there*Rolling*
Brown water swirls.
Man, everybody seems to like the water. Personally, I love it when I vacuum and hear crackles but it makes it seem like you're actually getting the floor clean...
Words of the Day:

yesteryear: The previous year

adulting: doing the duties of an adult, esp. when mundane or repetitive

I've been adulting for 29 years, it's still hot garbage, and I avoid said reality as much as possible.
FINAL REMINDER!

Books are like mountains: both are difficult beasts, but they will last a long time after you're gone.

Interesting (and slightly annoying) fact.

In Yahtzee (or Yarti, Yartree, Yacht, Yachtzi, 5-die)

the chances of rolling a Large Straight (1-2-3-4-5) in one roll is just as likely (1/7776) as rolling a Yahtzee (5 of same number) in one roll.

Yet.

The Large Straights happen way more often 😒

Refresh the page and watch for a large straight or a Yahtzee...

Refreshed once, got a large straight, refreshed again, got Yahtzee. Did you give me *gasp* loaded dice?
The best I could do out of 5 tries was 2 pair. *Pthb*
