mopping does not make any sense 5

does anyone here know how to mop?
serious question.
i have asked a number of people spanning several generations and all of them agree that mopping doesnt make sense.
i mean you have one bucket filled with water, where you wet your mop, gather dirt from the floor and then deposit the dirty water back into.. where you wet your mop again 
clearly this is a closed system of spreading dirty water along a dirty floor.
and then knowing when to squeeze out the water and planning the job so you dont get footprints on the clean floor is all a bit much.
mopping is the worst and possibly made up.
if anyone could shed light on what everyone is doing wrong or on the origins of this huge scam it would be much appreciated.

lol i've never thought about it like that. but yeah you're right it makes no sense. i think the illusion stems from the fact that merely making a surface wet makes it appear to be cleaner.

You raise some good points, but please consider the following:
Assuming you swept first and maintain a relatively clean house, when you mop you are simply diluting the dirt significantly rather than getting absolutely clean as your post suggests. By mixing the dirty mop in the water, swishing, and then wringing, you are using relatively clean water.
I also add vinegar to the water to really clean. I don't use a mop. I am old school. On hands and knees with a rag.
Peace.

It works much better if you:
Soak the mop in your cleaning solution, wring it out only very lightly or not at all. Mop and spread the water around. Leave it a few minutes, then take the mop again, wrung out as much as you possibly can, and mop the water up (wringing it out as needed).

I like to get down on my hands and knees with a sponge and a bucket of soapy water and then wipe everything I "mop" with a dry towel as soon as I'm done with that spot. For the exact reasons you mentioned. Mopping never made sense to me either, I always just assumed I did it wrong which is why I switched to scrubbing the floor by hand.

Bleach. Mopping works if you aren't a germaphobe.

Pro-mopping crew here, I mean obviously you add fucking intense cleaners to your water and change it out if it gets too dirty. The mop has more of a propensity for dropping the dirt into the water than picking it up out of it.
Still a little gross I see your point, but mopping does clean things. Especially sticky shit.

i mop my tiled kitchen pretty regularly. the trick is sweeping first to get the dirt/dust off. then mop to remove anything that might have spilled/dripped on the floor
The point of mopping your floor is to make it look nice, not to make it clean enough to eat off of.

What's the purpose of using a toilet scrub brush on your toilet? It's just gonna have piss and shit water on it again and it's not like 100% of the dirty water makes it out of the toilet when you flush.
I mean really if you don't see the purpose in mopping or the above example, I dunno that you'll ever get it. Mopping is to get up residues or break up caked on dirt/grime and to a certain extent, disinfection. Same reason you use the scrub brush on your toilet.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
