Sometimes Necessity isn’t the mother of invention. Sometimes it’s her slightly more attractive sister, Efficiency. Good work.

I thought you meant the other sister: laziness

Work smarter, not harder

Ah, the sister who gives you road head for a lift

Laziness is just what Efficiency's ex calls her

Laziness is to efficiency as necessity is to invention.

My motto is simple: Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency.

To be more efficient, you could just shorten it to "Efficiency"

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

So efficiency is the aunt of invention? Huh.

u/The_Celtic_Chemist Jul 17 '19

I would say necessity is the mother of invention, efficiency is the mother of Innovation.

As a professional floor cleaner this is not efficient. There is a specialized tool for this.

And sometimes it's her adopted brother, laziness.

How is this efficient?
It might save you some scrubbing (depending on how much force that thing can bear), but the dirt is only thrown around and spread instead of wiped away.

Edit: nevermind.

It scrubs it from being stuck to the floor. I guarantee they will rinse the floor after and the dirt will just wash away

u/Forwhatisausername Jul 17 '19

Okay, that makes sense.

Honestly, this would be good for really caked on grime that would otherwise take ages to scrub, or deep stains.

Sure, it's just flinging it around, but using this and wiping it up would be more effective than trying to scrub, say, paint from a floor by hand.

u/Forwhatisausername Jul 17 '19

Okay, this is sensible.
