My father is 65 and could not cook a Kraft dinner to save his own life. Forget laundry. His son (my brother) believes the same. Whenever he is single his apartment goes uncleaned, he exclusively eats take out, and his clothes are barely laundered.
Laundry (with a washing machine) is significantly easier than cooking (healthy/tasty food) tho. It takes me like 2 minutes combined to load up the machine, start up the cycle, and hang it out to dry; and an hour or so to cook a good meal for two.
Weird. Imagine thinking like that. How old were they?
60? 20? Does it matter?
It’s an entire culture that hasn’t gone away.

60? 20? Are those numbers? Counting is woman’s work, never learnered it!

Cooking doesn’t need to be hard. A crockpot and 5 minutes of prep will give you 6/7 days of pulled pork.
If I were to guess, I would say early 30s.
Crazy stuff. I can’t imagine not being self sufficient, let alone reveling in it.
