Welp better throw out all my food

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

But I'm keeping my cables. The poop will wash off fine.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 16 points 2 months ago

...

I have actually washed mouse poop off cables and kept them.

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 10 points 2 months ago

But what about the things the cables plug into? I know I'm not washing anything with a capacitor.

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 14 points 2 months ago

Also toothbrush, soap, shampoo, comb, first aid kit, and ironically toilet paper.

You may keep your eggs though

[-] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 76 points 2 months ago

Let us model the poop rule as a predicate keep that maps the set of real world objects to {true, false} and a function poopy that maps the set of real world objects to the set of real world objects with poop on them.

For all x, keep(poopy(x)) = keep(poopy(poopy(x))), thus we can say that poopy is idempotent under keep.

Further, poopy is injective because there exist distinct x and y such that keep(poopy(x)) ≠ keep(poopy(y)). The proof by example is that you would keep a poopy million dollar bill, but you would not keep a poopy poop.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Your model is lacking in one area - poopy() has an inverse poopwash() where for some set of poopy objects Y, poopwash maps Y to a subset of the set of real world objects, but there exists a set of poopy objects Z for which poopwash maps Z to a subset of poopy objects.

My initial instinct was to suggest that for all z in Z, keep(z) = false, however I believe your million dollar example runs counter to this. Nonetheless, I suspect there is a useful subset of Z, let's say S, for which we can say, for all s in S, keep(s) = false.

Joke's on you, I have too much climate anxiety to throw anything out. I practically wash my toilet paper rather than flushing it.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago

This your blog?

Also bidet gang spray up

[-] inbeesee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

  1. start cleaning the object
  2. lose interest halfway through
  3. put it aside to finish cleaning it later
  4. ...
[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

It mostly depends on the surface of the item, not its value. Clothes and anything lined in fabric is gonna be toss, but you'd just replace it. Most things made of metal or are very glossy will be kept.

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

I would just throw clothes into the washing machine and maybe set it to a more thorough setting. Fabric lined would be a small steam cleaner with some enzyme cleaning spray until the water was clear and the staining was gone.

I've cleaned up too much dog poop to be overly concerned at this point.

[-] hate2bme@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

You throw away all of your undies?

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago
[-] hate2bme@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

At first there constrictive, but then they become a part of you.

[-] And009@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Mine keeps leaking through holes. Gotta patch em all

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

The problem with this method is that it puts far more importance on what the object is made of rather than how useful it is to keep around.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Day 1 on using this method and I've tossed away all my electronics and food, sitting in an empty apartment with a ton of linen.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKS

A few years back I was away for a while and came back to a nasty mouse infestation. When faced with the prospect of deep cleaning and sanitizing items, it made it WAY easier to get rid of stuff that I didn't CRITICALLY need.

Anything important I put in the work, anything not got tossed. I was able to cut back significantly.

Also gave me an excuse to spend a bunch on storage - everything is now stored in clear sealed plastic bins with labels - and left me with enough trauma that I'm now quite vigilant about cleaning :P

[-] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Hey look it's me with cockroaches! (It's fun sharing walls with households that have cockroaches. Sharing is caring.)

I like simpler items with fewer parts now.

Works for clothes not for food

Guano is also a possibility.

Or not, not sure where I got that in my head.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Do people hoard food? I suppose preppers, but they aren't likely to want any kind of method to decide what to get rid of. Plus, if you do decide to you can just stop buying food and eat your hoard.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

By this logic, get rid of all your food and clothing. You can't get poop stains out of most clothing and obviously you're not going to risk eating food that had poop on it.

Also, go ahead and keep your litter box tools forever.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

Huh what kind of bloody shit do you expel? If poop stains don’t come out new parents would go bankrupt from buying baby clothing.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

The sun is a deadly laser... For poop stains

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

That just makes the poop dry up

[-] MuffinHeeler@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Scrape. Spot clean by hand with soap. Machine wash. Hang in full sun for the minimum of 1 day. Extra points for rotating to face the sun as it moves.

You will most likely also toss your tooth brush, makeup, hair brush, and any book you own.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

And the isolation in the walls!

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

The toilet paper would also be ruined

[-] addictedtochaos@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

you seem to have very vile poop

[-] HorseRabbit@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

What an odd thing to say.

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months ago

This guy poops

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Why is there shit on all your food and clothes?

Oh this explains why I never got rid of my kids.

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Other people: Nope

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 months ago

Interesting... I can't think of a single non-disposable thing that I wouldn't clean rather than throw away though, so maybe I only have good stuff??

I mean I've got some magazines that would be awful to clean, but I'll get around to reading them eventu--oh omg it works. I'm recycling my old magazines!

[-] lily@glaceon.social 6 points 2 months ago

@Track_Shovel
throwing away all my toilet paper immediately

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

Bidet it farewell for me.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Hahahahaha.. what a great joke! I'm totally not gonna adopt this reasoning in the future, for the rest of my life.
