Fuck that noice! Sometimes I buy bacon only because my fat jar is empty. That shit is gold for cooking with.

Only poor it down the drain if you rent! Never when you own!

Splash it in the face of the people who piss you off, pour it down their pants when they aren't looking, set the pan on their chest when they're asleep and set their hand in the grease. I DON'T CARE.

It's not about keeping grease out of the drain, it's about not wasting cooking oil. As a Brit I recommend frying your whole breakfast in bacon dripping. Especially the mushrooms and tomatoes.

British breakfast is okay. But there’s a reason non of the top 10 restaurants in Great Britain is British.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Because you don't go to a fancy restaurant to eat breakfast?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

No-one in the UK goes to a restaurant for breakfast

I would occasionally go here after a particularly heavy night.

So around Friday of last week, my ground level apartment started to have a weird, foul, smell. It got worse and worse, until Monday morning, when my toilet stopped flushing and the drains took forever to clear.

By then the smell was horrid, like a mixture of skunk, piss, and decay. Thankfully for me, my toilet suddenly started working for a couple of hours Monday night, but then stopped working by Tuesday morning. Around 3pm on Tuesday, they finished repairing the sewage pipe, but the smell lingers on.

This also happened maybe 6-8 months ago, and it took 7-10 days for the smell to finally dissipate. I expect it will take that long this time as well.

Judging by the notice left on all of our doors, that threatened to charge the person or persons responsible for flushing “flushable” wipes and cigarette butts (???) as well as dumping oil down the drain, our sewage pipe must have been completely blocked up. Without inspecting each unit, I doubt they will be able to assign blame, so whoever did it will likely get away with it.

I have nothing to worry about, as I never pour oil down the drain, I don’t smoke cigarettes, and I only ever use toilet paper in the bathroom. Whoever invented “flushable” wipes deserve a punch in the fucking face. Now my apartment smells absolutely terrible, and likely will continue to do so for a week or so.

For the love of god, do not dump oil down the drain! It’s so easy to pour it into a jar, then use a paper towel to wipe the rest of the oil out of the pot/pan. It makes actually cleaning the cookware that much easier as well.

Counterpoint: if you rent, put everything down the drain you can. Stop taking your garbage out, just blend it and down the drain it goes. Everything goes down the drain. It's like a magic hole that erases all of your sins!!

I’m with in you in spirits, but then I’d have to live with consequential stink of my own actions.

Just add oil solidifier so you can throw the solidified oil into the compost or trash bin. Like FryAway or just buy the original Japanese versions which FryAway is a copy of like Katameru Tempuru

I wish they carried it in the markets here. I just looked it up, looks like it's just Steric Acid. You can buy a whole pound for $15.... gonna five that a try.

ooh looks likely.. great supporting post! not a fan of the approach where a company hides facts "we used established science and knowledge to productise a thing, but we like profit so we'll obscure the science"

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Pretty easy to sidestep this issue by just not eating heart-clogging foods. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Who puts fat down their drain hates their plumbing system.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

It also fucks up the main plumbing system right down to the water treatment facility and while there, it fucks that too.

If your taxes pay for wastewater management, you're fucking yourself up.
If you pay in addition to your taxes, you're fucking yourself up.
If you have your own septic tank, you're fucking yourself up.
If it flows to the river directly and you enjoy clean nature, you're fucking yourself up.
If it flows to the river directly and your taxes pay for nature maintenance, you're fucking yourself up.

Grease down the drain is fucking yourself up and you deserve it. You can not win with it unless you hate everything around you and don't pay taxes.. It will come back to bite you.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Good. Disrupt the system. Until young people can purchase homes at similar rates to healthy countries then young people should escalate civil disobedience.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Lol They're just going I raise the rent even more, to cover for your disruption.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Lol they're just gonna cave your skull in with a fucking rock because there literally isn't anything else to do. Congrats

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Yup, the convenience if throwing grease down the drain is absolutely nullified by taking a half day to deal with a plumber/landlord/handyman because you can't flush a turd. Let it cool, pour it into a soda bottle.
