I think context is key here. Your floor is dirty when you poop on it, but is your colon dirty when it has poop in it?
Your plate is dirty when it has left over food on it, but is it dorty while you are eating from it?

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

What an awful thing to read with a diarrhea.
Your diarrhea can read? Aww
Two pieces of shit go down the road, puting the masks, to enter and rob the bank.
A diarrhea asks if it can come too.
One of the pieces of shit says:
"This is for tough ones."
Be thankful it's just one diarrhea.
It's the same for vermin and pest plants. You decide what's part of it, depending on if it's useful for you or not.
To reduce entropy at one place (make it ordered), it has to increase at another place.
This whole universe is rigged! lol
edit: typo
Welcome to thermodynamics, where the rules are:
1-You cannot win, only lose or break even.
2-You can only break even at absolute zero.
3-You can not reach absolute zero.
- You can't win
- You can't break even
- You can't get out of the game
Sounds like you're gambling with physics there. /S
The secret is to clean a big thing by dirtying a little thing.
but then when the universe dies and someone comes to clean it off, all that mess will just be smeared all over something else
You mean when the vacuum cleaner comes?
'She's switched from Suck to Blow!'
the cosmic vacuum cleaner
In the game Warframe you have a schizophrenic ship AI who has lots of funny voice lines, he sometimes says this:
"Ordis went mad for 3 milliseconds when he realized that each time he cleans something he makes something else dirty... agh! There I go again."
Here's the audio:

But then here in like 10^10^10^56 years*, a new big bang will probably happen and the cycle starts anew
*It doesn't actually matter what units you use, milliseconds and stellar lifespans are the same at this scale
This has always been one of my favorite short stories. For those who might not know the reference: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html
Ah, life: An unceasing battle against thermodynamics that can end only in inevitable failure. In the end, even the vaguest echoes of the causal memories of us will be wiped clean when the rightful order is fully restored, universal bigotry wins, and everything is - finally - completely homogeneous.
And boring.
universal bigotry wins
Have you considered working in physics?
Not beyond the level of a profoundly fascinated hobbyist. I know my limits :)
Professionally, I'll stick to my closely parallel lane in computing (no Black Holes involved - the I/O is notoriously difficult to manage, more's the pity).
you can't escape the second law of thermodynamics
In theory you can because the second law is actually a statistical and probabilistic thing. Currently it looks like that the laws of physics are time direction independent. So if you play a physics simulation forwards and backwards you couldn't tell the difference for a small number of particles so it it actually can (and does on very small time scales) happen that entropy decreases.
It ends in compost (or it should).
thankful foe mycelium
This explains why I don't clean. I will clean my room later then because of this.
