No it fucks up public infrastructure and sewer mains
Stop being reasonable and making sense!
Fatburg!
My sister moved house and noticed a weird smell from the kitchen sink. Plumber found a mini fatberg down the drain. The old bloke they bought the house from had been tipping everything down the plughole. For years.
(the emoji itself is nauseating)
The smell is even better
How does this happen? Is it more for things like bacon grease rather than cooking oil? Because cooking oils are usually (not always, coconut oil for example) liquid to lower temperatures than water.
the person responsible to clean this is not a happy person.
Also if you stay in the same place too long, you'll have explain what the fuck happened to the sink to your landlord
And every other renter after you will curse your anonymous name.
No, they'll just tell the landlord. You don't rent, do you?
It's the landlords responsibly to repair the sink. A place being rented full-time to different people can't be blamed on any one tenant even if this wasn't the case.
that implies you get a functioning sink when you move in and it doesnt already have issues they just covered up temporarily
how do you cover up a plugged sink?
I live in an area without public sewerage though. All our sewage goes into a series of septic tanks underground in our backyard.
It's a bit of a pain really because in summer when all the grass is brown the septic tank area still requires attention.
The public has voted for fascism and hate. Not my problem.
Less than 50% of voters voted for fascism so I'm gonna clog all the drains in my area (???)
This is a popular myth. It's only a problem if public infra wasn't properly designed
Well, it's not like a lot of public infra was properly designed, is it?
I think "properly designed public infrastructure" is the myth.
Public infrastructure can be built to handle it but it is significantly more expensive, and since a lot of public infrastructure is incredibly old you are damaging pipes and causing bills to go up for everyone in your area
Bazelgette wants to fight you in a cage match and my money's on him.
You see industrial devastation.
I see job creation.
