"Or, even better, imagine your room suddenly cleaning itself." - as a parent, I imagine this wondrous scenario several times a day, I can tell you that much. I won't believe in AGI until we have an automated solution to this problem.
Interesting thought: can an egg be un-cracked? There is one creature that might be able to do it: the worm.
They can--after significant processing by other decomposers--eat the remnants of an egg and then, on the same day, be eaten by a chicken that lays the next morning.
Decomposers are dope! Thanks for composing, Andrew :)

I can see two routes to this.
1. let's develop humanoid robots capable of doing every annoying task humans currently do
2. get a really, really big rug that you can just yank out from underneath everything, so all the mess just disappears
There are high tech answers and there are low tech answers.
3. Get a really really big drug that you can just take and live in lalaland forever and forget all about the mess in the first place.
Can we do all three if we have more than three hundred billion dollars?

Some non-zero portion of that food may actually get into the egg due to osmosis! Wonder how much - no dibs on writing that one, though!
Haha! I'm sure some biology PhD candidate wrote their dissertation on the size of that non-zero portion, at some point :)
There are a few of those folks here, in the comments. Literally!
Be the alchemist that transforms chaos into order…like a person working on a picture puzzle…
