Declutter to improve mood
Frozenaccess
... okay so my germophobic butt who doesn't even think a tooth brush dropped that has been washed and bleach is safe to use again would have that Lois declutter reaction
MarkRavingMad
As a new parent, this concept has recently become extremely literal.
vannie001
I essentially inherited a lovely pink blue and cream Persian style rug when my grandfather passed, and it had a cigarette burn and some stains or two. Over the years I've spilled coffee on it and the cat puked on it here and there. But two nights ago my dog had stress shits from a bad storm, right on the rug. It's time for it to go now!
Bigcurly2000
This really depends on the material rather than the object's intrinsic value.
FartsSmellBad
This just means that soft or fabric covered things are getting thrown away more often
teacher745
Not necessarily. Washing machines exist.
Malloon
HELP! I'M OUT OF TOILET PAPER!
Youhavinagiraffe
The major issue I see with this is that it would mean you can never have any food in your house
jaggcomputing5
As a former nurse, you wouldn't believe how many people we would have thrown away if we hadn't cleaned up the shit..
BarderBetterFasterStronger
Lmao tiktoker 🪲 🚬
LgpandBandit
it is true: since throwing Marie Condo away, all is fine and balance is restored....

At least he got rid of the noose as well I guess.
CoachMcgurl
True. At least he isn't an arsonist though. They just stop at the "does it spark" part.
LupusLilium
Pretty sure they still want the joy part. More of like a 'does it spark? joy'.
TheJuiceLoosener
This box ... sparks joy, I'll keep it!
Eldibs
That's good, but I used "Have I used it or needed it in the last year? Am I going to use it tomorrow? No to both? Garbage."
umbrellamaker
My poop phobia means whatever it is it's instantly in the trash
MahMayn
My way is the insurance payout method: if you were filling in a (fictional) insurance form for this item's loss, would you want a cash payout or the exact item replaced?
magila
I'd throw away everything I own and half of my family.
ChernoGamma
"If the house burned down tomorrow, would you bother to replace this?"
BeardOnTheInside
I'm sorry, but there are a lot of things I would throw away instead of washing. Like if there was poop on my bamboo cutting board. It would be done. Ashes to ashes, trash to trash.
What a strange method of decluttering.
Emuc64
I think better applies to items that aren't food/health related that haven't been used in a while and is considered "clutter" by some.
hwatL4bloopy
Thank you.
BruceMan200
Ok all my toilet paper is gone... What now?
JUNK13B01
I like this one because it forces you to only keep irreplaceable things.
DukePhelan
Everything already has poop on it the only thing that varies is the degree to which that is true.
jlist
Naruhodo. (Japanese for "I see.")
JDJersey
The sparking joy test is entirely dependent on feeling joy, so that one is right out for me
trillBrasky
You say that… but your least favorite person’s favorite shirt.. and a serendipitous opportunity to provide the poop.. I’m betting you - albeit in protest - will find joy in the following cost/benefit analysis. Best done at the end of the fecal year, for accounting poopeses. It’s a veritable shite-off.

I haven't felt joy in 30 years
keyblader1985
Just throw the whole person away

That should legitimately be a condom commercial. Or any contraceptive, really.
LordKitchenersValet
Things it doesn't work for: A book I like. A pair of pants I am ambivalent about. A boomerang.
Taxicat
You might like the book, but would you be able to wash the poop off? If not, could you order a new copy that does not have poop on it?
LordKitchenersValet
Yeah; if I got poop on a book I liked I'd be sad but I'd want to replace it. If I got poop on pants I didn't much like I'd still hose them off and run them through the wash. And if I got poop on a boomerang? ...I don't know. I'd probably set it down gently outside, wash my hands and other relevant body parts, and take some time to think about how I'd come to be in that situation.
Sreq
Gotta do correct order of operations with the boomerang.
steelundecided
Holy crap that's funny!
JackalopeElope
If the pants fit, I'm hosing them down outside and solo washing them. And I read public library books.
LordKitchenersValet
You are a sensible person and I'm proud to know you. Thank you for not pooping on the books, also. Good choice. I'll follow suit.
JackalopeElope
No I just mean I usually wash my hands after reading. I assume some asshole has read them on the shitter.
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
A safe assumption. This asshole just read your comment on the shitter.
R100GSPD
Sparking joy is a stupid test, plenty of stuff is useful/practical to have that doesn't spark joy.
StudioC2
I think that actually is the rest of the stuff she gets you keep, iirc, but I will never forgive her for what she told me to do to my filing system...
SenseiTheDefender
Which was…?
StudioC2
Basically it's just throw as much stuff as possible out and then you don't even need to file it, since you'll have such a small stack of papers. It did not work.
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
Sparking joy is the part of the method that became most well known but she actually does address practical necessity items differently.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
My toilet doesn't spark joy. Better get rid of it!
adiving
That's just silly. Not having a toilet would make me very unhappy, as proven the one time it was broken. Having a toilet sparks joy.

Guess I’m keeping my butt plug.

It sparks joy!
smurftheweb
You probably want to check the batteries are in correctly then
morningxafter
Sure does! It has several vibration settings!
umbrellamaker
It's all fun and games until things get stuck...in the on position

Ngl, i learned the importance of flared bases the hard way. Had to deal with a running vibe in my colon for almost an hour before I finally worked it out.

gummyloaf
If it’s sparking because of the vibration you might want to check the wiring
morningxafter
As a motor tech, I would say that if it’s sparking due to the vibration I would also be worried that the motor windings are grounding out against the stainless steel housing.

Badgerbadgerson3
You uh....got a name? Could use some fun right now.
morningxafter
Nah, it’s just some cheap one I found on Amazon. I checked and it’s listed as ‘currently unavailable’.
DrMoneybeard
It's obviously currently unavailable because it's currently in your butt.
TK421isAFK
Damn, did you have to buy ALL of them?
ThatRaccoonGuy
If you've ever owned dogs or children, chances are half your stuff has ended up with poop, puke, piss, and/or blood anyway. It's a fact of life.

If a kid shits its pants, can toss? Yes or no?

Or you can get all that after a fun time in the bedroom.

I was just thinking of the accident my dog has had.

That’s what you get for letting them drive

One of my dogs pooped on my other dog today 😭😅
VerenhimoinenSaapas
So did you wash it or throw away?
t00tie
Well, did you wash the child/dog off or throw them away?
KawaiiInari
And cats. Jfc the hairballs. But I love their fuzzy faces so much!
genevra1676
Cats too--we've had plenty of possessions pooped, peed, barfed, or drooled on by our cats over the years.
originfoomanchu1
Yeah that's his point if you are willing to wash poop off of something it has some value to you.......
If you are not willing to wash shit off of something do you really need it in the first place.
valen00
I think the point being made here is that the bar of "wash poop off" becomes a very very low barrier. Like is it something I'm about to eat? No? I'll wash the poop off it. Not is this something I no longer really need. I'll just wash it because you just wash poop off things and get on with your day.
steelundecided
Don't forget the snot! Lots of snot.
supercerealsteph
I have/had elderly cats with IBS.
SybilCrawley
One of my kids puked on the dog, which frightened the dog so much that it ran down the hallway and under a bed while smearing puke on the walls, carpet, & underside of the bed in it's haste to escape the violent spray of warm chunky liquid. The dog also pooped in shoes on occasion. Anyway, yes, it's a fact of life.
ElvenTroll1121
Blood is fine

Don't forget slobber. Everything I own has been slobbered on

QueLinda1205
Ha, so you get it. Those full-body shakes are lethal at both ends, ha.
Heisanevilgenius
Actually, as someone who has a young child, deciding what to clean and what to throw away is something I have had to do multiple times. While it is a good general rule for decluttering, it's not perfect. If I get poop on a book, it's probably going in the trash no matter how much I want it. There's just no cleaning that. And if it's an article of clothing, it's going in the wash even if I don't care about it and could do without.
Herperchick
Yea, I've got dogs, cats, pigs, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, geckos, frogs, I don't think I should ever turn a blacklight on in this house...

I don't have children but have enough niece and nephews to feel this very much
Euchale
Is this an advert for not having children?
derJake
It should be, because that is absoluty what it is like.
SybilCrawley
Idk if I'm cold and uncaring, but I laughed very hard at that, thank you.
BatsArentBugs
I’m a really loving and warm father and I busted a gut watching this about five times.

Having children? Seems like a problem I'm too trans to have :P
lastmanonearthbutidroppedmyglasses
Trans people can have children

O.o I think my silly tone was not picked up on. At all. Oh well, not my problem lol

Also, look up what HRT does to a person. Give it long enough and no we can't

Thankfully mining equipment is pretty hardy, and it gets pretty dirty from the coal anyway.
whiskeywonka
its yours while leased
cbjfan
Leased is fancy speak for rent to own
StewedTomaters
I mean the value drops the moment you drive a kid off the lot
cbjfan
Wait. Only for cars I guess.
whiskeywonka
Nope, anything can be lease to own. and car leases are not to own unless explicitly stated as such. Else it is just a 2 year lease (most common)
