It will also make life just a smidge harder for every tenant after you. But if it helps you feel better, fuck 'em.
No it’s not. Use lard or other animals fat, beef fat is the worst.
I mean, what else am I supposed to do with it?
… No really, I’m asking.
Pour it into a bottle and throw it in the trash
Put it in a jar or can and put it on the compost or garbage
If it’s not that much: soak it in a paper towel and throw that away. For frying: put it back in the bottle and throw that away if the oil is spend.
Chug it or put in old bottle or jar and throw in the trash.
Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There’s sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it’s usually pretty straight forward if you look it up
So I thought this was a good idea until I did a search. Found tons of motor oil recycling.
If its oil, you might be able to donate it to a home diesel user
As far as I know oil is ok. It’s liquid even when cold. But lard or grease will clump in cold water.
The best thing to do is save your used grease in a can and put it in the compost or garbage bin
Bacon grease is a good example of something you freeze in an old can to throw away.
Can also be used to make homemade fire starter if you’re going camping. Mix it with wood pulp till you get a dry paste.
Alternative : save your grease in a jar and heat it up and pour it down the sink the moment your slumlord increases your rent and prices you out of the building.
I use Ghee or Tallow when cooking. Both are solid at room temperature. I wait for the left over grease to cool down, and wipe it up with a paper towel. Easy peasy.
You should read about fatbergs before doing this though.
Yeah, I get that people feel like they have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to generally be passive aggressive assholes to people they deem unworthy, but this is just an overall dick move. Having working public/municipal plumbing is a good thing.
Make it vegetable shortening
Additional tip: If you’re a traditional artist, your acrylic and oil paint should be even more effective :D
Don’t worry by the way; I know that this is a really bad idea. Source: Every art classroom I’ve been in has had at least one clogged sink at all times.
POV: You’re a salty dumb fuck who feels like wasting vegetable oil
Landlord detected, humanity rejected.
POV: you’re reading the comment of somebody that doesn’t cook for themselves
Clearly you’re the one who doesn’t cook if you don’t know what to do with used oil
Why waste the oil? Turn it into gravy, or mayonnaise, or store it to sell to a recycling center that will turn it into biofuel.
Putting used oil into food when it’s not even good enough for frying anymore doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.
Recycling is fair enough.It really depends on what it was used for. I almost always turn bacon grease into gravy or mayo, for oil/butter from cooking meat dishes I make pan sauces, but for frying oil I recycle.
Or strain it and if you have a diesel use it
Aren’t you also clogging the city pipes?
Of course you are. But people who ruin other people’s property already don’t give two shits about others.
Not if the substance is a liquid at room temperature.
Pouring hot bacon grease down the drain will do that, because the bacon grease is only a liquid when it’s hot.
Something like olive oil isn’t going to clog pipes.
Looks like my arteries
JD Vance approved!
Am I the only one who thought of a Sea Lamprey?
Forbidden fleshlight
Glad to know I’m not the only one whose mind went down the gutter.
My mind won’t be the only thing going down the gutter now.
Literally
realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that’ll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.
Start a fire. Got it.
Life should have these splash screens whenever you fall asleep.
My insomnia will be like a long loading game that has two or three repeating tips for each loading screen.
Like shitty life pro tips, sleep edition.
The landlord will then have to have the drains cleared and hear exactly what they found blocking it. This will improve your relationship with your landlord and they will feel happy that you decided to take revengeful steps against them which don’t really serve any purpose and are just a waste of resources. No way are they going to somehow claim back those costs from you
Bro thinks he is getting his deposit back crying laughing emoji skull emoji
Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.
hey aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant
Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.
I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.
I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.
“This carpet that was stained when you moved in wasn’t stained before you moved in so I’m keeping your $300 deposit”
Fuck outta here.
You didn’t walk though and document before move-in?
“Our inspector (me) found deep damage (the carpet is already ten years old and I claimed the exact same thing for the last tenant)”
Be on your way, parasite.
Gee, I just can’t imagine why anyone would do that to you…
Interesting and definitely intelligent assumption based on the text, person who doesn’t know carpet is considered completely depreciated after five years and claiming it as damage is fraud.
Yeah. I can’t think of a single place I rented that I didn’t get my deposit back on.
Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
I only had one time where they even tried to keep the deposit (out of about 10 or so places, I was in the military, so I moved a bit). I talked to them in person for all of 5 minutes and they gave up and gave it back.
Here let me help you. Landlords vary wildly in quality and decline quickly as you go down in price furthermore being ignorant of your rights or lacking in options due to money are both easy routes to getting fucked. Not understanding that people pretty regularly get fucked out of their deposits because you haven’t is like wondering why other people get raped when you have avoided it.
Maybe you just don’t rent in the kinds of places that have shitty landlords.
Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
They installed the carpet with the seam down the middle of the living room at my place, then said it was my fault the seam started peeling
Same place tried to charge me for 119 plastic window slats. When I asked my old neighbor (same unit type, 1 floor up) I counted 43 total
I sent them proof of all of this along with the bill for my security deposit and another bit of maintenance I had in writing they’d fix and never did, they suddenly decided to stop hounding me for the bill but never paid. Wasn’t enough to bother in small claims on my end, sadly
Right. I’m all for find a way to tip the balance of power away from the ownership class, but willful damage only screws you. Check your rental contract, a landlord can and will sue you for negligent and purposeful damage to their property. They’ll also sing your rental history . Plus, if you’re still living there, you’re only inconveniencing yourself with the repair process.
Good ending
Just pour latex house paint down the drains, whats this baby tier “grease” bullshit.
Until your toilet stops up and floods dookie all over your stuff a week later
You know what will cover up that dookie damage? latex house paint. Solves all your problems.
Financial issues? Latex house paint. Drink it down and your problems disappear.
I see no issues whatsoever with this plan of action
Edit: any flaws in the plan can, of course, be addressed with latex house paint
Glaring flaws in your plan? Latex house paint. Covers 'em right up.
This whole thread speaks of the Landlord Special. Latex paint, what can’t it do!?
Unclog drains.
Posts like this feel like the modern equivalent to the USA distributing subterfuge instructional pamphlets in the USSR.
Sure, you could intentionally damage properties, but do you really want to do it because some government suits pressured you?
Sure bro, the foreign government conspiracy to affect the average profitability of landlords by 2% for the extremely large population of Lemmings.
Lmao yeah what massive aggressive dictatorship has a history of anti-landlord rhetoric and frequent online propoganda campaigns, especially on Lemmy?
Can’t think of a single one. Nope. No ringers.
Lol, liberals.
Every accusation a confession.
Yep, that saying definitely applies to me, a conservative liberal who hates landlords and loves Mao.
Its a play on words since you responded to my rhetorical question with a noun.
That’s worse you know
