    Just vacuumed the couch, a lot more dust on it than expected.

    I swear to God a good portion of adulthood is basically keeping dust at bay.

      With the disgusting reality that most dust is just dead skin. Open the vacuum janky-like and you just huffed your own epidermis 😭

          Ah yes, of course; dead skin, car tyres, and micro-plastics.

        I fact checked this because it didn’t seem plausible. While dust does have dead skin in households it usually makes up about 15% of the dust.

      True! Another substantial percentage of life is picking things up off the floor and filling out forms, applications etc.
