On the show Pioneer House, the drudgery and physical toll of hand-washing clothes was the #1 complaint.

They really missed out on a chance to go with 'negatrons' instead of antiprotons.

Even the biggest bands only have 5% of their songs be huge hits. For any creative endeavor you're going to have some whiffs. The ratio of whiffs to hits probably depends on the nature of the medium.

One of the best episodes of Mythbusters when they recreated this.

Yeah it's super fast for search, which is the other big reason I'm still on it. The pain in the ass part is when you want to integrate some package that doesn't play nice right off the bat.

I'm still on SublimeText, which is old, and a pain in the ass, but at least is not being actively enshittified.

I had a post about Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing that I was hoping would go viral because that's the only way I ever saw Amazon ever fix anyone's KDP issues. I posted, then went to bed. When I woke up, it had 250+ points, but was on page 5 with a bunch of posts that were much older and/or had single-digit points.

It must have been on page 1 for a while to rack up that many points, then it sank almost immediately to page 5 where all the other posts with even 50+ points were days old. I've always wondered what happened there. Was it the algorithm, or did a mod step in?

It's repetitive and controlled if you don't care about the outcome, which monopoly companies don't.
