This is the fabulous video that @kogiopsis mentioned:
A man is sitting on a couch, holding a newspaper, with a coffee table in front of him. A woman is standing in the entryway to this living room.
Man: Babe, did you say you were going to make dinner? I couldn't remember.
Woman: What? I just wish you'd take some initiative and cook your own dinner for once. I've been at work too you know, and well now I get to come home and pack the dishwasher and then unpack the dishwasher and cook dinner and put the washing on and you know what I can't continue to live like this because it’s not…interrupted by Man
Man: Hey, hey, relax it's going to be all right.
Man: Here, I'll just show you.
They’re both standing in the kitchen where there’s a full laundry basket on the counter.
Man: OK I've been doing this since you moved in.
See this basket thing? I don't know how it happens - if it's the house or what, but any dirty clothes you put in this basket somehow the next day they're just clean, folded, and in a perfect pile on your bed.
Woman: You're not serious.
Man: I couldn't believe it at first either, but it just keeps happening. That's why I didn't tell you - I didn't want to jinx it.
Man: Try it - you'll see. Unless it's only chosen me. See I don't know.
Man: No, wait, there's other things too.
They’re both in front of the coffee table.
Man: Plates, cutlery, pizza boxes, dirty tissues, anything you leave on this coffee table just vanishes overnight. I mean sometimes I'll see how far I can push this thing, and I'll just leave shit everywhere, and then sure enough the next day it's all gone - just vanished. It's magic.
The man is standing in front of the coffee table between 2 police officers.
Man: No, she wouldn't have left me. This is what I think happened - I heard her get up in the middle of the night to get a drink or something. She must have fallen onto the magic coffee table and just vanished.
Woman Police Officer: Are you insane?
Male Police Officer: No, he's not insane. I've got the same coffee table at home.
And h/t to @can-i-make-image-descriptions's image description of the tweet from the original post:
[Image ID: Tweet and reply from Ela Bambust, (trans flag emoji) professional… (@/ Elamimaxima) reading: "Men want praise for doing the most basic of household tasks"
Hot take but everyone does, but society has taught us that housekeeping is a woman's job and should be thankless. Ideally you both go "babe look I did the kitchen" with "holy shit that's awesome thanks" as a response
"but it's your house too!"
And??? Human beings thrive on praise for overcoming struggles even when they're small. /End ID]
