Because operating a noise machine makes them feel manly.

It could be a whole host of reasons to be fair.

I’m pretty bad about letting my grass get long, but the only reason I would ever mow before 10 am is because I don’t want to get too hot.

Every fucking time. Except my bougie ass neighbors have astroturf, so the dude literally vacuums his lawn. It takes fucking hours...

I use an electric mower and do it early as fuck sometimes, like as soon as the sun comes up. Super quiet.

my parent's neighbour likes to bring out the whipper snipper at 9:30 sunday morning when we're trying to have coffee and chill out, it sucks.

That's so much extra wear and tear on the astroturf.

Wild.

They're millionaires, so they just don't care...
They're nice enough though, and at least they're quiet and respectful any other time.

I had an electric mower, I always hated the cord and it was a real cheap thing with a very small footprint.

It got the job done, but instead of taking 15 minutes it took me 30.

I’ll invest in a nicer electric one once my current gas powered one dies for sure.

Modern electric mowers use batteries, and they’re awesome.

Just return to scythe. It's faster then you would think.

And sharping the blade is manly as fuck and fun!

This seems like the best option. I didn’t realize how expensive electric lawn mowers were these days!

Don't ever work at night unless you are a medical worker. Active labor at night must be banned.

I get extra man points by shaving with one!

I used to mow starting no later than 830. I did it because that the only way to get done before it gets stupid hot.

Now I pay someone to do it and they typically do it Sunday afternoons.

A lot of different industries need 24 hour operations. I work in telecom and we don't shut the internet down at night.

Anecdotal, but the only lawn mower I can hear of my 3 neighbors is the electric one. The noise it makes is the worst drone and it pierces.

Like with a normal household vacuum?

I mean, how else do you keep biodiversity from returning to this green desert?

Now there's an idea
