What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?
I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

I’m pretty sure my washing machine is the thing that saves me most time. Washing by hand is fucking hard work and very time consuming. I would neither have the time nor the physical endurance to keep all my clothes and household items in a state acceptable to society.
Then again, if washing machines did not exist, society would have to adjust it’s expectations. It’s also kind of wasteful to wash clothes too often.
Yeah, every time a new timesaving invention becomes mainstream the “meta” of society adjusts and everything gets faster. And more chaotic and insane and crazy. Modern life is weird
Yeah, ‘living within your means’ works in both directions.
My dryer was down for a bit so I had to hang clothes to dry. Slight inconvenience that really made me appreciate having a washing machine that still worked.
mechanized laundry is second only to modern medicine, imo
followed closely by indoor plumbing and dishwashers
Indoor plumbing wins all of them for me, for one my washing machine wouldn’t be worth it without, and for another it’d be hard to access clean water to rinse wounds and drink medicine.
Massive respect to people (most often women) around the world who have washed clothes by hand. The cleaning of the clothes is bad enough but there’s also the fetching of (or travelling to) a lot of water.
