Who does number 2 work for?

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago

Kinda in the same vein: I was taking an emergency dump at a Walmart. There was a person in the stall next to me taking a dump as well.

Some time passes and a Walmart employee knocks and says "maintenance, any one in here?" And before I can respond the guy next to me let's out a massive loud as hell fart and the walmart employee without missing a beat says "take your time".

Clean up in isle 3

If I was in the next stall I would have started singing Hallelujah

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

The 4th the 5th, the 6th the 7th, the 8th the 9th, the 10th the 11th!

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Was it a skibidi toilet?

[-] wieson@feddit.org 112 points 17 hours ago

How did it happen that many people (Americans???) flush fish down the toilet?

Just bury it, like you would any other dead pet.

[-] Xenny@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

It might be a Simpsons did it thing. Then finding Nemo probably popularized it further with the "all drains lead to the ocean" scene.

[-] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 3 points 38 minutes ago* (last edited 38 minutes ago)

It's older than the Simpsons for sure. Flushing your (mostly/presumed) dead pets down the toilet was how the urban legends of alligators in the NYC sewers came about...

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 hours ago

It's all pipes Jerry!

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 15 points 11 hours ago

Uhh, my roommate fed his dead fish to my tarantula.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 hours ago

The ciiiirrrrrcle of lifffffeeeee

[-] wieson@feddit.org 12 points 10 hours ago

Continuous ecosystem, why not

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 10 hours ago

I was surprised she actually ate it to be honest. I was expecting to have to dig it out.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago

Just _____ it, like you would any other dead pet.

(Oh, I'm so happy this is still a thing.)

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 hours ago

Maybe it's an apartment thing?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

I don't know. I tried it with a salmon once, but I had to call the plumber.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Buried a fish under a tree once, fuckin dog had that shit dug up in 5 minutes and was rolling around in it.

[-] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 17 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Maybe I'm alone on this, but my family used to put dead birds, squirrels,... found on our terrain in the trash... I really got furious and said that those were living beings and they deserve proper burial even if it's some random animal found in the backyard...

The only way to make them understand what It means was to say: "Don't worry, I will also put your dead body in a trash bin".

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

The ground is clay here. You dig that hole.

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 30 points 12 hours ago

That's fine, put me in the trash. Reverence for dead bodies is weird. They aren't living, they will never be living again, they are empty husks of meat. The only reason to bury them or do anything else with them is to avoid the spreading of rot and disease. Putting them in the trash is just as acceptable as throwing out that 2 month old cooked beef you forgot about in the back of the fridge.

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Do you want Gul Dukat to hide the existence of the half-Bajoran love child he intends to murder out of personal ambition?

Because that attitude is exactly how you get Gul Dukat to try to hide the existence of the half-Bajoran love child he intends to murder out of personal ambition.

[-] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 hours ago

That's your point of view. And I won't give you any counter-arguments... I'm not even religious by any mean, but showing some respect is the minimum due to every living being on earth.

Sure I put my own vision to other family members, but In most people believe system being thrown away like trash is not the way you want to be remembered of.

Putting them in the trash is just as acceptable as throwing out that 2 month old cooked beef

I do not eat any meat but I won't push that specific regime to anyone, because that's not how it works. However, I'm not sure this comparison is right... You wouldn't eat your cat/dog, pet bird, bunny?

[-] Loki@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 hours ago

(not who you replied to)

respect is the minimum due to every living being on earth.

Well... Yeah, for living beings, not corpses. A corpse is not gonna care about you "respecting" (a human concept!) it. Like, it's fine if you need to bury a pet to feel better, but it's not gonna care - these kinds of rituals are for the living.

(Also, fwiw, I'd hope my corpse would be harvested for organs after my death and everything that can't be used to help the living can be chopped up and tossed in the bin lol I'm not gonna be there to see it. Plus, that way I'm not wasting space decomposing slowly.)

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I have had pet bunny soup, unfortunately. We were moving and we couldn't give him away so my grandpa took him out back and my grandma fired up the stove... It wasn't a nice experience for us kids but it was culturally acceptable here.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I don't since you tend to keep your pets around until they're too ill to keep on living decently and I wouldn't eat sick meat.

[-] cryptiod137@lemmy.world 25 points 17 hours ago

I used to bury my pets until my family got mad

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 87 points 16 hours ago

You’re supposed to wait until the pets are dead.

[-] heartbreaker@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

It's time to flush my 5-ton (11.000-pound) pet elephant down the toilet 😢

[-] coke38@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

Did you wait for them to die before ?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 115 points 18 hours ago

Imagine having a nice, relaxing work poo and suddenly the next stall is full of fish mourners

[-] echo@lemmings.world 46 points 17 hours ago

We, a developer team, had a fish at work. Being developers it was a Beta fish. And, of course, we named it Masta.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago

So like okay, so OK, so OK, like so, OK, so Okay, like Ok, so????
