Silly things like that.
It no longer gives me a random quote using cowsay. I figured I was too old for that and it was time for me to grow up.

You automated a part of your relationship. This is awesome!
Reminds me of this reddit user that automated 'liking' his girlfriend's Instagram posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/70udwq/what_routine...
I track my visits to the gym with a geofence trigger with my phone--logs to a google spreadsheet through IFTTT.

In that case, I've also automated flying my own commercial airliner. I just pay someone $400 and I'm automatically flown anywhere in the continental US! Also, I automated bread baking. I just go to the supermarket and go to the bread aisle, and hey presto! Automatic bread.
I see your point. Now that I think about it laundry was a bad example of automation. But to me it feels like automation as I used to do it all myself manually. The amount of time I saved still surprises me. Especially ironing.

This is a great suggestion - will add it asap!
An alias into my terminal emulator gives me weather, scrapes some news feeds, collects my public IP address, updates a couple of things, and adds stuff like the IP address, along with date and time, to a text file.

I use feh for my desktop background. I have a directory ~/.wallpapers where I keep symlinks of all the images randomly selected by a cron job to use for my wallpaper. (they can come from various directories) Anyway, whenever I download an image from the internet, I put it in it's relevant directory. And if I think it will also make a good wallpaper, then I prefix the filename with "add_" I have written a python script to search for all image files starting with "add_", and it then renames the file without the prefix, and adds a symlink to the ~/.wallpapers directory
I used to have a bash script on my old laptop that would send an email everyday to a certain government organization, telling them they were assholes.
Probably a few other similarly small things that I have forgotten about, because I automated them.

Plus, you probably internalized all that cowsay wisdom.
Hmm... I should make the cow tell me the weather.
