The species of plants alive at the time of the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs were the ancestors of today’s house plants. However, most species of extant species of plants that we have bred to be “house plants” did not exist, in current form, at that time. So, I wouldn’t take it personally.
Having said that, if you’re regularly killing houseplants in 2 weeks or less, then you probably need to spend a bit of time learning about how to grow them and whether you can provide the appropriate care for them in your home.
Also, a lot of plants we call impossible to kill are really just plants that can tolerate and barely persist for impressively long periods of time in very poor situations. Even with those, if you want them to live let alone thrive, you still have to give them the right care and environment. And unless you’re already an experienced and successful plant grower or just incredibly lucky, you should spend some time learning about how to grow them or you’re probably going to fail.
You can’t permanently grow a full sun plant in your windowless bathroom without additional work and equipment. You might be able to stick a snake plant in there and ignore it for 3 years, though.
