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.

Glad to know I'm not the only one whose mind went down the gutter.

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

My mind won't be the only thing going down the gutter now.

Aren’t you also clogging the city pipes?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 47 points 5 days ago

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

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

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.

You should read about fatbergs before doing this though.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 12 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I get that people feel like they have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to generally be passive aggressive assholes to people they deem unworthy, but this is just an overall dick move. Having working public/municipal plumbing is a good thing.

[-] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah. If it only impacted your landlord that would be one thing, but you're potentially ruining the entire municipal plumbing system.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 27 points 5 days ago

I mean, what else am I supposed to do with it?

.... No really, I'm asking.

[-] weker01@sh.itjust.works 24 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 19 points 4 days ago

Pour it into a bottle and throw it in the trash

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Put it in a jar or can and put it on the compost or garbage

[-] JulyTheMonth@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Civilized countries have collection stations for oil often at the same place you go for recycling.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Chug it or put in old bottle or jar and throw in the trash.

If you don't know someone that burns old oil put it in an old container and throw it away in the trash.

The landlord will then have to have the drains cleared and hear exactly what they found blocking it. This will improve your relationship with your landlord and they will feel happy that you decided to take revengeful steps against them which don't really serve any purpose and are just a waste of resources. No way are they going to somehow claim back those costs from you

Bro thinks he is getting his deposit back crying laughing emoji skull emoji

[-] dan@upvote.au 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn't make a lot of sense as they aren't really incentivized to return it to the tenant.

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

hey aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant

Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.

I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.

I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.

Right. I'm all for find a way to tip the balance of power away from the ownership class, but willful damage only screws you. Check your rental contract, a landlord can and will sue you for negligent and purposeful damage to their property. They'll also sing your rental history . Plus, if you're still living there, you're only inconveniencing yourself with the repair process.

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

[-] CynicusRex@slrpnk.net 9 points 4 days ago

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

Just pour latex house paint down the drains, whats this baby tier "grease" bullshit.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 34 points 5 days ago

Until your toilet stops up and floods dookie all over your stuff a week later

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 47 points 5 days ago

You know what will cover up that dookie damage? latex house paint. Solves all your problems.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Financial issues? Latex house paint. Drink it down and your problems disappear.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I see no issues whatsoever with this plan of action

Edit: any flaws in the plan can, of course, be addressed with latex house paint

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Glaring flaws in your plan? Latex house paint. Covers 'em right up.

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?

Additional tip: If you're a traditional artist, your acrylic and oil paint should be even more effective :D

[-] sgbrain7@lemm.ee 14 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Alternative : save your grease in a jar and heat it up and pour it down the sink the moment your slumlord increases your rent and prices you out of the building.
