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?
-
The secret is to clean a big thing by dirtying a little thing.
-
but then when the universe dies and someone comes to clean it off, all that mess will just be smeared all over something else
-
You mean when the vacuum cleaner comes?
-
'She's switched from Suck to Blow!'
-
the cosmic vacuum cleaner

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."
Here's the audio:

To reduce entropy at one place (make it ordered), it has to increase at another place.
This whole universe is rigged! lol
edit: typo
-
you can't escape the second law of thermodynamics
-
the universe is the ultimate escape room
-
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.

It ends in compost (or it should).

New enemy acquired: people who use "smth"

shaking my tiny head

It's short for "smith"
-
smth the matter?

Ugh

They will be sent to the same gulag where we send people who say "the ask", "the spend" or "emails". Get on the bus!

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.

universal bigotry wins
Have you considered working in physics?
-
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).

Me trying to explain to my therapist why everything is going to shit.

But then here in like 10101056 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

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.
