Breaking the generational barriers

No-one in the UK goes to a restaurant for breakfast
I would occasionally go here after a particularly heavy night.

Don't pour hot grease in a glass jar or it'll shatter and spill hot grease all over your counter and then when you grab a flimsy piece of plastic from the recycling and try to push it on to stop the spill and the plastic collapses and hot grease goes all over your forearm and gives you 2nd degree burns and your floor is covered in broken glass you will regret it.
Get frozen orange juice and save the cardboard tube to hold the grease while it congeals.

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.

As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.
As a renter, that's the way it goes
-
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 fucks up the whole neighborhood dummy

the drain can have little a grease, as a treat
Only poor it down the drain if you rent! Never when you own!

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!!

That may be true, but if the collective society decided to make housing unaffordable for the younger generation then they've decided to live with the inevitable shenanigans.

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.
Good. Disrupt the system. Until young people can purchase homes at similar rates to healthy countries then young people should escalate civil disobedience.
-
As a renter, that's the way it goes
If housing as an investment has created a circumstance where young people can no longer afford homes then it's in those young peoples best interest to sour the investment class.

Are you the same people complaining about increasing food prices who are also throwing away the best part? The bacon is the byproduct. People! Save this grease and use it when another recipe calls for butter.
You can also make soap out of it, and you get some curious byproducts!
-
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.
Your ignorance is not only pathetic, but indicative of a massive ego. Have fun being a contemptable piece of shit through life. It won't serve you well.

They're just going to raise the rent even more, to cover for your disruption.Edit: spelling

Then break tooth picks off in all the door locks, smash the windows or drill holes in the fuckin roof but causing chaos for your neighborhood is whack

Rent goes up, oil goes down
That’s what I always say

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

they're just gonna cave your skull in with a fucking rock because there literally isn't anything else to do. Congrats -
I guess it depends on the temperature of the oil, I pour when its still liquid, but less than boiling.
I pour when it’s hot to the touch, but not unpleasant, so probably around 50-60 C
