    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.

      Of course you are. But people who ruin other people’s property already don’t give two shits about others.

        Yeah this causes “fatbergs” which wreak havoc on city pipes. I get frustrated when I see memes like this condoning willful property damage bc not only is it stupid and it hurts other people besides the landlord, but even if the landlord has to shoulder costly repairs for plumbing inside their unit, they’re definitely going to pass those costs on to their tenants (either immediately or over time) so this could also contribute to rent hikes.

      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.

      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.

        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

            Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It’s possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn’t process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.

      If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.

    It will also make life just a smidge harder for every tenant after you. But if it helps you feel better, fuck 'em.

    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?

    Like a kid’s temper tantrum, vandalism won’t improve society whatsoever. Fight the rich with wit, wisdom, and relentless ridicule.

    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.

    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

    Make sure to pour sulfuric acid down the drain right before he shows up. 🤔
