I once pirated a book because I didn't want to get it from another room.

I put clothes on hangers and hung them in the doorway between the kitchen and the rest of the house to take with me when I eventually head in that direction. I left the clothes there for over a week while I had to twist to get around them, and only took them to my room to put away when I did laundry the next week...and ran out of space to hang the clean shirts.

I buy new socks instead of washing them.

Black socks

they never get dirty

The longer you wear them

The blacker they get

Someday, I'll probably launder them

Something keeps telling me don't do it yet

Pro tip: If you buy tons of the same type of socks such as 20 pairs of black you can wash and dry them and they pair easily. It's less effort than going to buy new ones.

This is exactly what I do. I have like 30 identical pairs of socks. They just get dumped in a pile in my sock drawer, and I grab two off the top of the pile every day.

Gosh I've been trying to force myself to do that for like 5 years already. I'm just too lazy to spend some time and choose a good fit (instead of just buying random socks every once in a while). What brand and type of socks would you recommend??

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Buy one pack of 5, if good go back and buy 3+ more packs leaving some unopened and throw out old if not find better. Look at what sock you like currently and try finding similar. I like thin/semi thin. I don't do brands, just feel with the hands.

Dickies Dri-Tech in whatever length you need. They’re my go-to because I wear safety boots for work. They’re way more padded than typical socks, and they’re extremely durable.

I have remoted in to my desktop from my laptop or vice versa many times to close a video that either I left playing or the cats have unpaused by walking on the keyboard

I didn’t read a book because it was in the other room.

[–] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I did the same. I wanted to watch a TV series of which I own the box set but I was too lazy to get the box, put the disc in and go through the menu for every three episodes or so. So I pirated it.

I got on Fediverse bc I was too lazy to consume what the algorithm fed me

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

I'm too lazy to keep track of all the lazy shit I do

I have no way to gauge it
