Making Rube Goldberg devices.
If you could use a Rube Goldberg like contraption on any task you find extremely strenuous, what would it be?

Isn’t part of the definition of ‘rube Goldberg machine’ the machine does something simple and easy?

To rephrase the question: what’s something simple and easy that you’d prefer the task or cost of maintaining and running an overly complex machine than actually doing it?

Do people not simply toss the clothes on a pile on top of a dresser? Am I the weird one?

That strategy worked well when it was just me and the ~10 articles of clothing I own. But now that I’m in a household of six that approach doesn’t work anymore

I prefer to put away my clothes, but my wife prefers piles.
She can’t stand to spend twenty minutes folding the laundry, so she spends ten minutes every day digging through piles trying to find things. The math doesn’t really check out, but then again laundry is brutal for a lot of people so I get it
Personally, if I leave things in piles I go bonkers and it makes getting dressed every day a big chore. So you do you, but I guess it’s a matter of preference

That takes more effort than taking them out of the dryer, so yes.
