(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

#polls #I like washing windows so I picked that one #it's fun and relaxing and I live in an apartment so I have very few of them #but I wouldn't mind washing more #the only downside is that my living space window is Giant #I can't open it to wash the inner surfaces alone bc someone would need to support its weight #the window itself even has a 'do not open alone' sticker on it #(I knew it's too big to open solo based on summers of window washing at work and noticed the sticker later)

Kyläkeinu (or kyläkiikku, kyläliekku, kylälietsu or aisakeinu) were swings built for the whole village to use in Finland, Estonia and Karelia. Based on what I've seen, you could use them on your own, with a friend, or have a group of people go with you on the same swing. If you were brave enough, you could make the swing go a full 360 degree turn around its axis. The keinus/kiikkus were popular places for the youth to gather and mingle (and perhaps, fall in love!)

I do not know if people still make them, but if anyone else happens to know, I'm happy to learn more! (The last photo with colours that I've added here is from 1984.)

#finland #history #oh I've been on one of these types of swings! #it was in estonia; I was on a school trip with a bunch of my friends and the place we stayed at had one of them #I have no memory of what our accommondation was called #it was this old-timey place with really cool buildings somewhere near Soomaa national park #in my defense that trip happened over a decade ago jfhjgfg #the swing we tried was not the diamond style one; it was the square one #it was so much fun and I feared for my life lmao

Sorry for being incapable of answering a question without like 900 "It dependssss" prefaces. Unfortunately too many things depend on too many things

Love my grandparents.... on the phone just now my papa was dead serious like “i just think it’s so terrible to kick your child out for being gay . This is a union family and the ONLY thing i’d ever kick any of you out for is crossing a picket line.” okay working class hero!

Thanks for the question, Anon! I had to combine the “10” with the “more than 10” because I ran out of space! Hope it works.

For me I have a lot of health issues and can’t work because of it, and family issues as well, but if it was a perfect world, I would choose two kids. That way they have each other.
