My neighbor starts tractoring his field around 11pm. I think it’s to avoid the heat or maybe sunburn? Outside city limits there are no noise rules. Also why my other neighbor purchased a train horn, just to play with.

I live in rural Japan where it's 04:30-05:00 instead (it's quite light out already in east Japan by then). Trying to work past like 11am in the heat and humidity is miserable and dangerous

Suburbia really is purgatory.

No; sometimes it's hell.

With electric lawn mower, you could almost do it coz they are so much quieter. Neighbors will still remember lol

I've only ever had electric mowers and one old fashioned push mower. The electrics have all been as loud as a gas powered one. But a push mower is pretty much silent.

It's a huge difference in noise. We had petrol one and it was VERY loud. You can hear electric, but not in annoying way.

the push mower I use is either loud or not cutting depending on the setting up, but I like it a lot

Then you look at the lawn in the morning and see all the ugly pieces you missed because you couldn't see well. That's why you have to install a lot of bright lights in your yard so you can do a proper job at night.

The "feels like" temp has been between 100 and 112 all week, so middle of the night is about the only time I can mow the yard without melting lol..

the neighbors will remember this

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember everytime they mow the lawn at 7:00 AM

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah this would be justified as pure revenge.

You, a mortal: Lawncare past bedtime
Me: Eating pizza cheese straight from the bag at 3 AM and giggling

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 10 months ago

Eating pizza cheese makes someone immortal confirmed 👌

Does it count if it's in the morning but only while I absolutely need to get ready for work? Every morning, I find myself tidying up and doing small chores when I should have hopped in the shower 20 minutes ago.

Mosquitos: jackpot!

If you aren't supposed to mow at night then why do riding mowers have headlights?

From the angle of that picture, it looks like a neighbor was pissed, had to take the picture and said you seein' this shit!
