things that still freak me out: those sinks americans have in their kitchens that you can destroy stuff with

Honestly this post has been on my mind all day. Those weird destructosinks for people with too much money are apparently common in America. And Americans get defensive over them.

Well don’t come crying to me when your wean gets eaten by the fucking kitchen sink.

No knives, just a dull piece of spinny metal.

Okay, so you put your CHILD in a sink and stuff them down the drain? That’s… that’s definitely worse.

I hate not having a garbage disposal…

Like, what am I supposed to do with an excess of soup or something? If I pour it into the trash can, it will be heavy, be likely to leak and make a mess, and stink. And yet I can’t pour it down the drain, because the little pieces of food will get stuck and clog it.

(My actual solution in this scenario was to pour it into the trash bag, immediately take it outside to the outdoor trash can, and replace the bag, wasting almost a whole bag.)

Also, just in general, food waste stinks.

I just had a thought that is brilliant yet triggers all of my purity/disgust intuition:

Pour it down the toilet.

Yes, your toilet drain is specifically intended to receive chunky organic waste

It’s a little menacing, but the disposal isn’t a demon, it won’t eat you if you don’t turn on the switch, if you’re super-paranoid you can unplug it before you stick your hand in

Honestly it’s more often a bother that it doesn’t grind something and you have to stick a hex key in the bottom to cycle it manually
