And there are hundreds of other necessary activities that aren’t listed here. What is your point? The point of the post is that this person (and many others) feel overburdened by the pressures and requirements of modern society. Pointing out that the specific chore of vacuuming doesn’t have to happen every day isn’t astute.
If that’s true, which I question very much as the pressures of modern society are significantly more encompassing than in the past, that only means we’ve been doing it wrong the whole time.
living life as a european peasant was less burden some, in that you died by 30-35, and only 1/2 children survived past 5 years old.
or maybe you’d rather be working 10 hours a day in a factory from the age of 10, losing your limbs in an accident, and being a begger the rest of your life? that was life for many pre ww1

Work all day in the field
Sleep
Am I the only one who finds this impossible?
You’re right! Why should we try to fix it now?
We should make it even worse and then deny it was ever better than it is right now!
they are overburdened by basic adulthood.
that’s a character flaw. not a society flaw.
none of these things are onerous burdens. they are minimal. nobody is asking them to train 2-3 hours a day for a marathon.
