Having a kitchen floor that had/hadn't been cleaned in the last month correlated with: nothing.

This was perhaps the result I was most excited for. Finally, scientific validation.

For someone to complain about my floor, someone besides me would have to come over.

Forever Alone.

It probably correlates with having a clean kitchen floor, which can be good for reasons that have nothing to do with akrasia
