I've asked around before and apparently in many areas of the US it makes more logistical sense to treat soft food scraps like cooked vegetable matter as water waste instead of having separate systems for food waste. It's just the easiest way to transport it given the way their cities are set up and how their water system works. This info is very out of date so I don't know if it's still true (I know a lot of US cities have green waste recycling programs these days) but that's where it comes from. It does make sense because the water pipes are the easiest way to get rid of goo without burning petrol by carrying it in trucks, so it comes down to pipe maintenance vs. garbage truck fuel and maintenance, taking into account how close composting facilities are etc.

#thanks for (probably) explaining this!! absolutely baffling#now can someone explain why everyone in the US has a clothes dryer but the same ppl hand wash their dishes??#in Germany clothes dryers are still somewhat of a luxury - even when you have one you'll line dry most of your stuff#but most households do have a dishwasher. Especially once there are kids#is this bc water and electricity are cheaper in the US like with gas? Are dishwashers more expensive (than dryers??) confusing

I love sunny so much

Listen that doesn’t even account for all the weird shit local farmers are getting up to.

Delightful update - I learned "sits" as just "sedi" so I idly looked up "consedi" and:

Life must be a rollercoaster for the D class. You live in a shitty prison cell for the remainder of your probably extremely short life. One day some security guards show up and take you to a big room where a scientist tells you to copy an image onto some paper. You do. The scientist shrugs and writes something down and you're taken back.

Hey guys I made a pride flag for when your gender is nobody else's fucking business! Check it out!

happy one year anniversary to this post getting marked as "potentially mature content" and then never leaving content review when i appealed. tumblr's own default loading graphic is considered by their own tos "potentially sexual" it seems.

it's 2026 and this post is officially no longer "potentially mature" and is just "mature". so: either tumblr's own default loading graphic is now confirmed to be explicitly sexual and pornographic

Imagine you're a relatively junior surveillance officer in an underground research site and a disaster takes place that cuts you off from the outside world and has heavy casualties, including absolutely everyone else in your department. So you're the only surveillance officer left and instead of taking this to anyone for clarification on your duties you're like "there's no protocol that says I should do anything different, I work in surveillance so I should keep doing surveillance" and just keep doing the entirety of surveillance for the whole site by yourself, pulling multiple-day shifts and reporting your work to nobody, not ever considering that you should alert the site director to the situation because they already have the casualty reports etc. and surely you would have been instructed to do otherwise if you were supposed to; reporting staffing problems wasn't part of your job as a rookie and nobody ever told you that it would suddenly become part of your job if your boss and all your coworkers died. So you just watch people on cameras in the dark and never talk to anyone unless you have to.
