    Says people who have never lived alone.

    Like you don’t even have to be a homeowner to know not to do this! I know this is shit posting, but there ain’t no way you make it to reproductive age without figuring this one dumb thing out‽

      Newer generations and less likely to own homes due to global housing markets cooling down. This is directly proportional to the inverse of fucks residents have about plumbering.

      That said I wasn’t raised to know this until the internet taught me. Then I started freezing them in cans and tossing in the trash.

        Will I’ll admit I was the dumb generation at some point(that point was the moment the garbage disposal stopped). He only took out a basic looking hex wrench, and shit was solved!

        Sorry if I kept you up, or upset you.

        Edit to add: I have no idea what I was trying to say, but it exists! You fuckers have fun trying to explain me!

          Not upset just saying I consider myself intelligent and well educated but my parents never taught me this. They were renters and so was I.

          We even got a clog and landlord for a plumber out. Once in 10 years.

          Knew enough to waste hot water and pour boiling water down the drain to help it out.

          I learned in my mid 20s to stop. People have different circumstances with their upbringing.

          This is why I like Lemmy. It’s like OG reddit. People express opinions and we can have healthy discourse when someone disputes an opinion.

          No worries.

      Some people (like Ben Shapiro and his ilk) make it to adulthood not knowing how to do laundry or clean the dishes in the first place. … and they’re proud of it.

        I got a comment from a few months back about my fellow cis hetiods about how it’s so strange that there is a non insignificant number that don’t even wipe their own ass!

        Like I said I’m cis het, but I would sooner take a dick in the ass than deal with the fucker itching all day!

        Also didn’t the found of the proof boys(Gavin something or another) take a dildo in the ass live and on air because he thought it would upset liberals? Yeah, these right winged pricks need to just embrace the fact, that they might be bi.(A day bi specifically cause they don’t sound like Lindsey Graham)

            Definitely, but I think that Proud Boys leader who showed he could take a black dildo probably thought he was doing some really clever double bluff thing, but we see you Gavin McKinnes. We see you and the insecurities you’re fighting so hard to hide.

      This is my first time hearing of this ngl. Actually I’m not entirely sure what “grease” means, is it what is left from oil and butter after cooking meats? Meat juices? I’ve always poured it down the drain. Never even heard of anyone doing otherwise, least of all putting it in a jar.

        Definitely don’t put grease or oil down the drain if it is solid at room temperature. Even oil that’s liquid at room temperature is bad for sewage systems - they combine with non-biodegradable sewage waste such as wet-wipes (Don’t flush wet wipes down the toilet. Put them in the trash.) and turn into rocks that narrow and block the sewage pipes. See wiki on Fatbergs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatberg

          TIL. Thanks! Knew about wet wipes obviously. But first time I heard of this grease thing.

          Apparently it’s mostly an issue in the US due to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_trap so might be more common knowledge there. Apparently here as long as you’re not pouring large amounts but just as whatever naturally occurs on pans, especially if you mix it with washing up liquid as you wash dishes, it is ok.

          Huh? I live on my own and cook for myself and have for 10 years. I’ve never had any drainage issues either. Maybe in the shower due to hair, but never in the kitchen. I’ve just literally never heard of this, ever, my parents definitely never did this back in my home country, nor have I ever seen anyone do this in any of the countries I’ve been to or the one I currently live in.

          Doing some surface level research it seems like primarily an American thing. As long as you’re not pouring litres of pure grease down the drain it should be ok to just wash down what naturally comes off pans etc. as you wash them, especially mixed with cleaning liquid.

          What is “lucky 10g”?
