    To reduce entropy at one place (make it ordered), it has to increase at another place.

    This whole universe is rigged! lol

      Welcome to thermodynamics, where the rules are:

      1-You cannot win, only lose or break even.

      2-You can only break even at absolute zero.

      3-You can not reach absolute zero.

    I think context is key here. Your floor is dirty when you poop on it, but is your colon dirty when it has poop in it?

    Your plate is dirty when it has left over food on it, but is it dorty while you are eating from it?

          Two pieces of shit go down the road, puting the masks, to enter and rob the bank.
          A diarrhea asks if it can come too.
          One of the pieces of shit says:
          “This is for tough ones.”

          Jokes quite often rely on imperfect superficial information, precisely because thinking too much about the subject matter contradicts whatever is being said in the joke. It’s a form of artistic license.

      In theory you can because the second law is actually a statistical and probabilistic thing. Currently it looks like that the laws of physics are time direction independent. So if you play a physics simulation forwards and backwards you couldn’t tell the difference for a small number of particles so it it actually can (and does on very small time scales) happen that entropy decreases.

    In the game Warframe you have a schizophrenic ship AI who has lots of funny voice lines, he sometimes says this:

    “Ordis went mad for 3 milliseconds when he realized that each time he cleans something he makes something else dirty… agh! There I go again.”

    Ah, life: An unceasing battle against thermodynamics that can end only in inevitable failure. In the end, even the vaguest echoes of the causal memories of us will be wiped clean when the rightful order is fully restored, universal bigotry wins, and everything is - finally - completely homogeneous.

    And boring.
