I vacuum way less than I should, and that's partly because I've never in my life had a vacuum I could actually depend on. They're always crap. It's scarred me.

Washing floors and dusting.
How do people not iron? I don’t mind ironing that much, but so much stuff piles up and it never takes me less than an hour every time.

Exactly. If it can't be served on a paper plate, I'm not eating it.

Chores, what are those?

Bathroom clean up, followed by shoveling snow. Oddly I dont mind mowing the lawn. And I like washing my car in the driveway.
Laundry and ironing clothes would had been my number one a decade ago. But once you do drying cleaning for shirts and pants for the office, its no problem anymore.
For anyone still ironing office clothes, if you have some spare bucks, take to the cleaners. It's like $2 for a shirt and $3 for pants. You'll get back your stuff two days later clean and crisp.

Dry cleaners are crazy good value for money. I feel like they haven't raised prices....ever. And they probably could. I guess the people paying per pound for them to wash dry and fold all their laundry are footing the bill for the rest of us

Ironing my business shirts. It's a pain in the ass, takes forever if you want to do it properly.

Cleaning the oven. It doesn’t have to be done too often but god does it suck. It is hard and awkward to work in and I never really feel clean the rest of the day.

House chores don't bother me that much. Yard maintenance is the shit I hate. It's hot as hell, you get sweaty, and you smell like grass.
I enjoy pretty much everything that makes my house and cars look nice on the outside. I'm into some interior car detailing too. Shows outward pride of ownership. I tolerate all the inside chores but folding laundry is the worst of them. I also get quite annoyed with the bed laundry day.
Since my divorce, the inside of the house stays so much cleaner and there is always a lot less trash to pick up and general clutter to deal with.

Doing the dishes. Kitchen benches are built for 1950's housewives.
I'm similar. I generally have no problem with the first half of a chore. Doing dishes, putting dishes into dishwasher. But emptying dishwasher? Putting things back on their shelves?Folding laundry
I’m cool with the rest of the process up to that point, but I hate actually folding it. Straight up living out of the dryer some weeks
Can’t stand it. I don't have a pile of dirty dishes, I have a pile of clean dishes.

I consider breathing, eating, and going to the bathroom chores, chores necessary for my survival.
Once connected to the celestial machine, I will no longer need to do any of these. My body will self cleanse, I will no longer need to eat or drink or breathe ever again to live.
But for now, I think the fact I have to do things is kind of problematic, I prefer to observe, my catatonia inner drives, my avolition lack of will, I have overcome to a degree but still prefer observation over action.
Now with synthetic biology, wouldn't it be great to have some of these as servants around the house(in swimsuits too
)?(probably will need square enix license, or copyright reform by talking with the congress)

There are solar powered grass cutting robots that stay within the yard and trim the tip of leaves, keeping the yard at the precise grass length perpetually(all year round), think tech came decades ago. Problem is neighbors stealing the cheap robot(iirc under $199 or it should be that after all this time). May need sentry guns to protect it or cameras perhaps, hear some cameras can see through masks(and perhaps swimsuits too
), in today's climate you need such tech. Of course smart glasses banned from reality, because with sufficiently advanced ones you can turn clothing off with superb ideal naked imaginary bodies replacing clothes through DNN imaginary or computed holograms(banned from school mainly because kids will obviously hack the glasses, and buy nonmainstream obscure versions allowing for such.).

I prepare my own food, with ingredients from all over the world, but I prefer uncooked food usually. When it comes to meat I've heard you have to freeze it first to kill parasites of raw meat, supposedly after freezing the ice crystals kill most parasites at least in salmon.(some say my shake bottles stink after a while, though they are odor resistant)
But parasites are a diverse group, there might exist ones with ice resistance in some types of meats. Also something like prions might be considered a type of parasite too, a nonliving organic parasite, it may survive crystallization.

In Florida, all lawn work is especially hellish. When I first moved out of my parent's house I swore I would never do two things:
1. Never have a job that requires a tie.
2. Never do any lawn work ever again.
I failed number 1, but 27 years later my lawn work free record still stands. I'll always pay to have it done, if I somehow reach a state where this is financially unfeasible then I guess I'll just be homeless or somethin.

in japan meat's generally pretty clean, they like to eat just about everything raw on occasion... generally though i don't like freezing meat because, to me at least, it tastes differently after... unpleasantly so... erk!

yeah crystals destroy meat texture along with parasites negatively affecting taste. But you risk parasites if you eat fresh meat. One day with advanced synthetic biology our body will be impervious to any natural parasite so we will be even able to eat parasite rich meat without worry. For now you have to trust the source of your meat didn't make mistakes or cut corners to save a buck.(Vechain blockchain tech helps trace source to origin, but alternate tech may also help, path from source necessary to be traced, as things can switch or be compromised along line from source.)
ed:
Btw, sugar called trehalose as well as antifreeze protein is present in some organisms drastically reducing crystal formation and allowing survival from normal freezing. Such freezing survival mechanisms could be engineered into humans or animals, allowing frozen meat to taste practically as good as fresh.

Ah well, helps that i cook all my meat 'til all trace of blood has dissipated
i don't eat beef much here either, it's daamn expensive and has really crappy texture... usually i do chicken, buy it the day i cook it, and i hate undercoked chicken so no danger there...sushi and sashimi is yum

I know that experiments with coke or pepsi and some hams, may have been faked, but suggest ham can have parasites, even living ones. Which is why I prefer crisp bacon. I like well cooked meat, but the core has to be cooked without burning the outside. I've eaten fully cooked hamburgers that taste quite as juicy and similar to raw ones, that's the way I like my burgers, dark all the way through but as juicy as raw burgers, that is perfection.

Maybe they're making the mistake of waiting too long to clean it. Ideally you should clean it every day, and then it only takes like 1 minute.

Need toilet with more water pressure, in any case probably suboptimal diet, if your feces are solid they go down cleanly and leave no spot or blemish. Either they or someone in their family need get better bacteria in gastrointestinal track or improve their diet, so feces become solid and tubular.

Turtles live in sewers and know what they talk about.
But as someone with the perfect diet, my studies in nutrition top my studies in almost any other field.
Michael Lustgarten Ph.D's youtube channel on diet lifespan and health seems very relevant and condenses a lot of information.

I do clean it regularly and every now and then do a deep clean.
It's just a (rather irrational) disliking of 'germs' that I, for whatever reason, perceive are covering infesting my toilet.
