Breaking the generational barriers

The fish are going to die anyway. Might as well be the one getting fed by them.
While this is true, I don't eat fish in general (don't like the taste), so it's more a sport than for food.

Ah sure thanks. The "g" threw me off. Wouldn't it be "lucky 10k"? g means "grand" but that's usually only in reference to money, nah?
Yeah it took me a moment to try and work out what they were saying when they said 10g as well so your confusion was well waranted there lol. I just noticed someone posted the comic further down and thats my best guess as to what they were referring to because I'm not aware of anything that 10g could mean otherwise.

the drain can have little a grease, as a treat
Pretty easy to sidestep this issue by just not eating heart-clogging foods. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
Yeah in many years never had a problem.
Since you seem to be stubborn and unwilling to accept friendly advice, here's a wikipedia article on why It's a problem
-
What? Is that meant to be a reference to something? Google doesn't really show anything for that exact quote with or without the typo(?). Bot gone wrong?
Every city I've lived in when I was younger and shit was illegal everywhere always had a "window" you could walk up to and buy shitty weed at.

Our neighbours had to get a plumber in to clear their pipes and septic tank because they would poor grease and fat down the drains all the time and ate a lot of meat.
They were in their 60s
JFC! I guess this is why we can't have nice things...

10g more than likely 10k typo (perhaps more brain than body/finger typo, there a word for that?)
Oh, “thinko”

Modern pyrex isnt any more heat resistant than any other soda glass, they switched in like the 90s. But regular glass is fine for grease, I use an old pasta sauce jar.
Holy shit it’s true! They no longer make “Pyrex” cookware out of borosilicate glass but instead soda lime glass.

Whatever is downstream of my sink should be built to handle food waste. That must include fats. Not my fault if they half-assed it honestly. Build a better world next time.
Yes, it is your fault for thinking you know better than centuries of plumbing experience. Pull your head out of your ass and stop pouring grease and melted fat down the sink, you inept heathen.

I started pouring mine in to an ash bucket I use for the open fire. The ash soaks it up and it all gets thrown out in to the bin
Isn't this how soap is made?
-
Oh well. Shouldn’t have made home ownership impossible for the next generation.
Rent goes up, oil goes down
-
You could throw it into the fire and get some extra warmth.
We had a fireplace at my parents' house, we used to burn grease and used oil all the time, until we had our first maintenance.
Let's say the chimney sweep wasn't amused -

Don't tell me how to live
-
Okay but how? In what? For how long? Do you reuse it again? How often? Does it go bad? Where do I put the jar? Do I close it? People just say shit like "save your grease" and expect me to know what to do.
I just take a piece of aluminum foil and press it into the sink drain so it makes a little cup. Then pour the oil into that foil. Then drop an ice cube in to help it solidify and cool a bit then I grab the foil corners and twist them up and dump it in the trash.
It’s quick and easy and neat.

Don't tell me how to live
If the way you live causes harm, I will tell you how to live all day everyday.

Oddly enough, this "clogged heart" "fact" is slowly being debunked by individual groups of scientists who are not sponsored by any food, tobacco or pharma industry.
I might have the urge to look for this paper I read about 2 years ago. Long story short: the unsaturated fats bind with sugar to form the small cholesterol molecules that can lead to blockages, while saturated fats form large cholesterol molecules that are used as a means of transport on the blood.
But nevertheless more research has to be done.
-
It won’t necessarily shatter it, but it absolutely can. I’ve done it with a jar I had washed the original product out of shortly beforehand. Just because it’s never happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
I guess it depends on the temperature of the oil, I pour when its still liquid, but less than boiling.
-
Who puts fat down their drain hates their plumbing system.
I don't give a fuck, it's not my house and as soon as they jack up the rent we're out of here
I might care if I ever own a home, but I really don't think it will ever happen
-
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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Why should I give one single shit about any of this?
Because some random on the internet said so in a shitposting thread?
I pay taxes so they keep the goddamn gutters running, if they're made badly and aren't fit for purpose - wastewater from washing fucking dishes - just make them better.
It's not rocket science, but the approach is the same - you don't bitch about space being hard - you build better rockets, better fuels, better calculators for trajectories and so on.
If you that concerned with grease maybe consider taking a shower. I'd rather flush grease down the drain than my one life like some of y'all.
