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‽
- 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.(I say bi specifically cause they don't sound like Lindsey Graham)
  
  I'm pretty sure everyone who says it's gay to wipe your own ass is trolling.
  
  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.
  
  The stories I've heard both irl & online, would beg to differ.
- 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.
  
  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.
  
  Yes!
  
  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.
- 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.
  
  Most restaurants have a grease trap, but most houses do not.
  Even what is naturally in the pan is often to much and you need to clean them with paper towel before washing. At least according to the Plummer I work with
  
  Yeah so I think it's okay because without the grease trap there's no clog. Idk about plumbing though. Ig it's something to keep in mind for longevity if you're lucky enough to own.
  
  Lucky 10g reference, or you never had to clean up after the parents made food?
  
  clean up after the parents
  Huh? I live on my own and cook for myself and have for 10 years. My parents live in a different country and I've not even seen or spoke to them in like 6 years so I don't get what you mean to imply there.
  I just haven't heard of this phenomenon before. 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.
  I've lived with roommates, at boarding school, and with a partner, and not once have I seen them not pour grease down the drain either, least of all in a jar.
  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 washing up liquid. Maybe I'm just not very greasy idk.
  What is "lucky 10g"?
  
  I think they are saying, you one of the lucky 10000. It's a reference to an xkcd comic where they joke about everyday 10000 people learning something new.
  Edit someone posted the link in this thread so here it is for your entertainment https://xkcd.com/1053/
  
  Ah sure thanks. The "g" threw me off. Wouldn't it be "lucky 10k"? g means "grand" but that's usually only in reference to money, nah?
  
  Yeah it took me a moment to try and work out what they were saying when they said 10g as well so your confusion was well waranted there lol. I just noticed someone posted the comic further down and thats my best guess as to what they were referring to because I'm not aware of anything that 10g could mean otherwise.
  
  Sorry everyone for the confusion. I was intoxicated and am genuinely surprised anyone understood me.
  
  10g more than likely 10k typo (perhaps more brain than body/finger typo, there a word for that?)
  Oh, “thinko”
  
  Get lucky finding the window that would sell you some schwag.
  
  What? Is that meant to be a reference to something? Google doesn't really show anything for that exact quote with or without the typo(?). Bot gone wrong?
  
  Every city I've lived in when I was younger and shit was illegal everywhere always had a "window" you could walk up to and buy shitty weed at.

- Our neighbours had to get a plumber in to clear their pipes and septic tank because they would poor grease and fat down the drains all the time and ate a lot of meat.
  They were in their 60s
  
  JFC! I guess this is why we can't have nice things...
