Okay, so I'm getting rid of my mattress, most of my furniture, most of my electronics, etc.

I think the idea behind this idea is good: If you're trying to get rid of stuff, only keep things that you would expend a bit of effort for.

However, I think they're wildly underestimating how many items will be destroyed or irreversably ruined in some way by poop.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think it's probably better to amend it to, "if it was covered in poop would you get rid of it and not replace it?"

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm too poor to replace the things that got covered, so this still doesn't work.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, work with the basis of the question being that you could afford to replace it.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, i replace everything because theres no reason not to short of the environment

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sure there is - it'll take up space and you have to go through the hassle of going and buying it again.

Listen mate, if you can cover 50" tv in poop, you need to go see a doctor first.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They didn't specify whose poop.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Different kind of doctor then.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Challenge accepted!

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

They said when decluttering. Most of those things aren't in question when you're specifically decluttering. No one looks at their mess and thinks "maybe getting rid of my mattress, couch, phone and TV would make things cleaner".

Maybe they're coming from the other direction.

Remember; they're owned by and thus write for the famously depraved billionaire class.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

The one I've heard is, if you spilled a glass of red wine on it, how hard would you work to clean/fix it? It's more in the vein of decluttering as opposed to replacing furniture. So obv your couch and TV are exceptions

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just dry the mattress and put some sheets on it

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ah yes, the Marie Kondo method

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love that bitch but the upper middle class people on her Netflix show was big yikes.

Obviously I felt sad for the one with the dead husband - I'm not a monster

Guess I'm throwing out all of my underwear

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I mean if it is covered in poop and you won't clean it then you should...

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago

I've now thrown out all my toothbrushes and toilet paper. My fridge and pantry have been emptied entirely, and the bookshelf has been purged. Maybe this wasn't the best approach.

"You will own nothing" ass philosophy

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Time to throw away all the food.

I dunno. Lightly Entertainment is in my experience part of most larger News Papers. And it had been the past decades. Especially in the feuilleton. I mean, you cant pull a watergate out of your hat everyday. And a news paper has a lot of pages to be printed

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

To be fair just investigate politicians and billionaries, surely you can find something

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So whether or not something should be kept depends on how easy it is to clean? That seems kinda dumb.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More like "would I spend my life cleaning this instead of throwing it away". You have to be the type of person to not want to clean everything covered in shit though

Ah there lies the fault in the method

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Works on most people that aren't stage 5 hoarders really

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

There goes everything in the fridge and pantry.

[–] Linkalee@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me, it's "Does this have a practical function?", and if no, then "Would I evacuate with this in a disaster?"

and by "evacuate" i mean "poop"

[–] Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have a one and half year rule. If I haven't used it for more than 1 and a half years, it's trash.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That doesn't apply to the spare cable box, obviously.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I can't do that. :( I'm often wanting a part for a project or just the right thing for, whatever. FFS, I save broken glass for when I need to cut it down to fix something.

Watergate was covered by journalists; these "articles" are written by clickbait engagement employees.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think the movie "The Post" did a good job highlighting the corruption within journalists/media as well. It's not a historical accurate retelling people ensure to point out but it addresses how individuals get tied into closer relationships with politicians which gets them scoops which inevitably make them more money and promotions, but those can be tied to not asking the hard questions, and not wanting to hurt ties/friendships they form along the way.

Then again, most Tom Hanks movies end up being pretty good. Movies like "A Man Called Otto" always surprise me.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would be a weird magazine if every story had to be a watergate level expose or it wouldn’t be printed

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hey. That sounds an awful lot like "Logic" We don't do that here.

Yes, among other scandals. That's why it has been captured and is being debased. The Washington Post is now like Hector's corpse being dragged and abused in grisly triumph, except there's no Aphrodite to keep it from rotting.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Keeping my buttplug collection, I guess.

[–] Crispycrebs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear, ive shit in my cupboard.

"I shit in a urinal

In other words I'm saying I don't care"

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 5 points 1 year ago

You underestimate my willingingness to clean

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I too love consumerism so much. let's all talk about things we buy and love to keep, that's a very organic conversation.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

One could argue the article is anti consumerist since its talking about de cluttering, albeit in a weird way. At least, that's what I'm assuming. As for organic conversation, beats "did you see [sports game] last night". But that's just me.
