Nkahoot Everybody’s Making Apps for Stuff You Could Just Do… But You’re Too Lazy
You ever notice this? Every single person is out here making an app for something you could already do yourself. And I’m sitting here like… Why? Why do we need this? You got an app for groceries, an app for laundry, an app for walking your dog. Walking your dog! That’s the whole point of having a dog! You bond, you get fresh air. But no—now you’re outsourcing it to some guy named Kyle who shows up in flip-flops.
And these tech people? They act like they cured cancer. “We’re disrupting the industry!” No, you’re not. You’re just making an app so people don’t have to bend over and pick up their socks. Congratulations, you solved laziness.
Why Are We Obsessed With Apps for Basic Tasks?
The truth is, we’re not innovating anymore. We’re just outsourcing basic human tasks because we’re tired. “I don’t want to cook.” Boom—food delivery. “I don’t want to shop.” Boom—Instacart. “I don’t want to walk my dog.” Boom—an app that sends a stranger to walk your dog while you binge-watch a show about people who… walk dogs.
And the worst part? We love it! We’re like, “Yes! Please! Make me lazier!” At this rate, the next big app will be called Push™. A guy comes over and presses the elevator button for you. Because God forbid you extend your finger.
Real Examples of This Madness
- DoorDash / Uber Eats – You could cook. But nah, let’s pay $20 for cold fries.
- Instacart – Grocery shopping? Forget it. Let someone else pick your bananas.
- Rinse / Laundryheap – Laundry? Too much effort. Let a stranger touch your underwear.
- Rover / Wag! – Walking your dog? Nope. Hire someone while you binge-watch Netflix.
- Peloton Digital – Running outside? Nah, stare at a screen and pretend you’re in France.
The Psychology Behind Lazy Tech
Why do these apps succeed? Simple: convenience wins. Humans are wired to conserve energy. If technology offers a shortcut, we take it—even if it costs more money. That’s why the global app market is booming, with over 6 million apps available across platforms (Statista, 2025).
ot solving problems; they’re monetizing laziness. And honestly? It works.The Future of Lazy Tech
At this rate, the next big app will be called Blinkr™, an app that reminds you to blink so your eyes don’t dry out. Or ChewPal™, where someone chews your food for you so you can “save jaw energy.”
10 Absurd App Ideas That Could Actually Exist:
- Push™ – A guy presses elevator buttons for you.
- NapNow™ – Someone naps for you so you “feel rested spiritually.”
- DoorBuddy™ – Opens doors for you because handles are exhausting.
- SockSwap™ – Sends someone to change your socks daily.
- Smile™ – An app that hires someone to smile at people for you.
- Blinkr™ – Reminds you to blink.
- ChewPal™ – Outsources chewing. You just swallow.
- Thinkr™ – Someone thinks for you during meetings.
- Clap™ – A service that claps at the end of your Zoom calls.
- Laughr™ – Sends someone to laugh at your jokes in real life.
Conclusion
We love these apps because they make life easier. But let’s be honest—they exist because we’re lazy. And tech companies? They’re cashing in on it. So next time you download an app for something you could do yourself, just admit it: convenience wins, and laziness is undefeated.
