A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You have a street bin for organic waste?

[–] beefcat 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nope, but even if I’d did, shuttling all that waste directly from my kitchen to my curbside bin would be a lot more work than just sending it down the disposal.

See there's your problem.

i fail to see how this hypothetical organic waste bin is better than the garbage disposal

[–] Bluetreefrog 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not hypothetical, it exists where I live.

It all goes to make compost which is sold for gardens, farms etc.
