edit: Don't do this. Embrace modernity and don't pollute the soil.
I'm sure there will be people that take this seriously lol, PSA to others don't do this. It fucks up the land and nearby water sources as it spreads out. In the US you can be forced to replace the contaminated soil
When I was a yout, they had trucks with a huge tank and a sprayer on the back. The truck would drive all the country roads spraying the dirt with waste oils. This was done to keep the dust down. Smelled terrible. Miles and miles of dirt roads that ran all around by rivers and lakes.
It is crazy to think about that now.
I'm sure you know this, but that's exactly how a town got turned in to a EPA superfund site due to Dioxin contamination, because of a fuck up over chain of command for waste oil from the creation of napalm or pesticides(IIRC?). The guy running the spraying business didn't know, which I can believe, but the company that paid for him to dispose of it should've informed him.
I assure you they still do that, source: my dad still lived on a back country road that they regularly tarred until they finally paved it about two or three years ago. When I lived there I hated when they did it because I had a white car and didn’t want all the oil on it since it was so hard to wash off and I had to go to the car wash every time I left the house
I was reading about one where the oil was contaminated with some truly terrible shit, dioxin maybe? Several people died. They turned that whole area into a Superfund site.
Boomers: Why don't you kids go outside and play. When I was your age we played in the dirt for hours at a time.
Also boomers:
Boomers: Kids these days think they can get through life by taking shortcuts
Also boomers:
I've had boers tell me that as kids they would pick up balls of tar from the street and chew it like gum
Put oil back where it belongs, in the ground!
So it can be extracted again. True carbon neutrality.
I mod !soilscience@slrpnk.net
I will mail you one of those jack in the boxes with boxing glove in it if you do this.
But the bone juice come out the dirt make out of holes why not bone juice back into ground for more juice later?
Recycle bone juice to dirt?
Bone juice kills the green things and the moving things. There is a reason they aren't making more bone juice. All moving things that had it have died.
Ah! AHHH! GRUG FIND SMART SCIENCE NOT THINK! Green thing not have bone and it die too? How green thing die if no bone?
Uno, atheists.
Do I have to prove that I do it, or can you just mail one to me?
Tradition is to save it and use it as a wood oil so the wood will not decay after some time on the rain. Absorbs really good, doesn't stink or stick...
Yeah, but there's stuff for that that doesn't give you eleven different cancers.
Ah yes, to get cancer is also very traditional, forgot to say that.
Was about to mention that. But you forget to mention the half-and-half mix of oil and diesel to prevent wood rot and insects.
Mixed 50/50 with diesel is what I'm using as fence stain/sealer.
Shit like this is why people doing home gardening, especially in areas that have been inhabited for hundreds of years, without testing the soil first give me heart palpitations. What are you eating?? I don't know, and neither do you!
My neighborhood soil is laced with arsenic and lead from an old foundry that used to be nearby.
A bunch of my neighbors grow and eat food in that soil knowing it. It boggles my mind.
While I know it's not convenient, have you considered... telling them?
Yea, and the response has been ‘I’ve been eating food I’ve grown here for 20 years and I’m totally fine!’
Just like the people that love to tell their grandparents lived a long life smoking tobacco everyday.
Also, heat your home more effectively in the winter by always having a bucket of coal burning in your living room.
The first couple times I helped my dad change the oil in his car he dumped it down the storm drain which lead to the Chesapeake.
We don't do that anymore.
I think of all the times I did that working on my cars years ago.
It was just something you did and no one ever even blinked. Old oil, gas, brake fluid, etc, right down the storm drain.
Now I think back and shudder.
My grandpa would just set the old oil filters when he would change the oil in the 3 farm tractors he owned. He did that for years and 30 years later that spot is still like blacktop. At least it’s only a 2’x2’ spot but I couldn’t imagine if he dumped the actual oil. And that’s only 3 diesel tractors twice a year.
The thought that shops were doing it for years is sad
I need the full book/magazine this comes from there.might be other nice tips.
Instructions unclear, now the swing set in my back yard needs it's tires rotated.
Thanks. It nice to have a reliable source to turn to when I am inspired to follow guides published in the 1960s.
The modern way of doing this would involve reversing the process of dinosaur bones turning into oil. So you just put into the oil-to-bone-inator and bury those bones back into the ground where they originally came from.
Oil isn’t made from dinosaurs
Sure, if you're buying the cheap stuff.
Oh really? So how come you can use oil to make plastic dinosaur toys?
Checkmate atheists
That's what Big Non-Dino-Oil wants you to think, so they can get all of the moneys from everyone.
I remember that 1970 shitty cartoon "Barbapapa", which proposed burying all kinds of waste as a solution.
