I rarely pull out the oven, fridge, dishwasher, dryer and washer to clean under or behind them, how often would you do it?

you should be doing this every few months, especially to prevent mice/bugs. I deep clean my home every 4-6 months. It's like 4-6 hours of work.

I love to go to the doctor but I only get to see them when my health issues get me hospitalized. Last time it was over a hundred gallstones and pancreatitis, doctors told me it was stomach acid until I turned visibly yellow.

you should be going once a year at a minimum, more if you have chronic health issues.

OK, you hate being an adult. That's cool. I don't. I love it. I like cleaning under my fridge because I take pride in having a clean living space.

Keep shadow boxing comments to feel good I guess. And make sure you never stop trying to brag to strangers online about how cool and smart and "adult" you are. And yes, all the people who downvoted you are wrong and you are right, but I'm sure you already knew that ;)

the fact you think i'm bragging about basic adulthood is just wild, and very telling about your mentality. nobody said it was wrong or right, either, you brought that binary to this.

but pretty classic. fedi users seem to think having to like pay for a video game, is some violation of their rights as human beings, so it would track they think basic functioning as a human adult is also a violation of their rights.
