I still don't understand how the sink in my bathroom gets dirty. Objectively the object in my household that is washed most often, yet regularly needs additional washing for whatever reason.

    Something that gets wet and dries in a regular cycle is pretty much perfect for a bunch of microbial life.

    Also wet lets airborne particles like dirt, dust, skin, snot flakes, a million other things - it lets those stick to the water spots that evaporate and glue those things to the surface, which also act as a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, etc

    Me with my glasses for my entire life. Why haven't they invented dust-resistant lenses yet?

    It's very frustrating. Dust, spiderwebs, you can't just have stuff it's constant maintenance.

    And some types of plastic degrade over time, cars rust, etc.

    Well humans shed skin cells all the time. This creates a thin layer of dust over everything in about a week

    After a certain point they don't really get dirtier. It's like zen or something idk.
