    Why wash them? They're just going to get dirty again.
    I cleaned my house once but it got dirty again so I stopped.


    The truth of the matter is:
    This is one of the reasons for having kids.
    You can train a kid to do just about anything. Until they make robots that can be as good of an assistant and good company, the robot will always be a one trick pony.

    So true!

    @Oirectine: One time at a family party, I remember my dad bragging: "Well when we first moved into our our house, we had three dish washers,"


    "Oooh that's nice"

    Dishes are easy. Laundry is a bitch. If it could sort, load, run, dry and fold I'd pay good money for it.

    @Shub-Niggurath on nightmare:
    Hire or marry. My dishwasher does the dishes, the laundry, the cooking and cleaning and a little action every once in a while. Why do women wear white on their wedding day? So the dishwasher matches the fridge. I am so glad she doesn't read the Giz.

    Modern dishwashers no longer tell you to pre-rinse, which is not eco-friendly anyway. I think people are not so lazy that they wont load the dishwasher but many will not empty it and put the dishes away once its done washing them.

    In reply to Mamoru-Kun Finds Misplaced Glasses and Slippers, I No Longer Fear Getting Old
    "Mamoru-Kun" means Mother Urn. You actually store the ashes of a child's dead mother in it.


    The father makes up a story about how the spirit of the dead mother is inside the urn with her ashes (it comes with some pre-made stories), and will haunt the child unless he keeps his room cleaned. It helps to instill the values of cleanliness in the child at a young age.

    I could use one right now - when my buddy gets drunk he forgets where he left his beer, then gets a new one, the next day I find half a dozen half empty bottles all over the place. Technology's primary purpose should always be to help mankind not waste beer. Or a machine that keeps people from getting drunk.

    How long till it gets bored and starts directing people to the wrong place, or gets hacked and tells people to hand money to the next person who comes to the door?
