Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.

Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat

While it’s not practical for everyone, we still do have non-motorized push mowers and rakes, which make a LOT less noise and work really well. Electric weed trimmers are also much quieter than the petrol-powered ones.

Who needs a push mower? I reap my grass with a scythe like my ancestors did.

My push lawnmower sounds like the chorus of the damned screaming for every blade of grass plucked from this mortal coil.

sounds like it might need some lubrication

A lot of people don't realize you should change your lawnmowers oil

The electric mowers are pretty quiet too. If I didn't have such a big area to mow I would strongly consider one of the plug in models, but also since no one lives within a mile of me I don't really have to worry about noise pollution either.
