      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.

    But then here in like 10^10^10^56 years*, a new big bang will probably happen and the cycle starts anew

    *It doesn’t actually matter what units you use, milliseconds and stellar lifespans are the same at this scale

    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.

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

      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.

    While funny, its not actually that deep. Either the last cleaning item gets thrown away, or put in a machine to be cleaned. Thats the end of it.

          Digestion probably forms CO2 or Methane, burning definitely does form CO2.

          So the final rag is our air.

      Right, but then the machine gets dirty or the water it uses gets dirty, or the rubbish bin you threw it into gets dirty. Where does it end? Kinda fucked up ngl

    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.

        Not beyond the level of a profoundly fascinated hobbyist. I know my limits :)

        Professionally, I’ll stick to my closely parallel lane in computing (no Black Holes involved - the I/O is notoriously difficult to manage, more’s the pity).
