Like a kid’s temper tantrum, vandalism won’t improve society whatsoever. Fight the rich with wit, wisdom, and relentless ridicule.
Wait you’re not supposed to do that
No it’s not. Use lard or other animals fat, beef fat is the worst.
Right, you need a fat that’s solid at room temp.
It will also make life just a smidge harder for every tenant after you. But if it helps you feel better, fuck 'em.
Make it vegetable shortening
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
Bacon grease is a good example of something you freeze in an old can to throw away.
Can also be used to make homemade fire starter if you’re going camping. Mix it with wood pulp till you get a dry paste.
I use Ghee or Tallow when cooking. Both are solid at room temperature. I wait for the left over grease to cool down, and wipe it up with a paper towel. Easy peasy.
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.
I mean, what else am I supposed to do with it?
… No really, I’m asking.
Civilized countries have collection stations for oil often at the same place you go for recycling.
Tell the US government about it. Then they will bring you democracy and liberate you from the oppressive oil. /j
If its oil, you might be able to donate it to a home diesel user
Pour it into a bottle and throw it in the trash
Put it in a jar or can and put it on the compost or garbage
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.
Chug it or put in old bottle or jar and throw in the trash.
Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There’s sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it’s usually pretty straight forward if you look it up
So I thought this was a good idea until I did a search. Found tons of motor oil recycling.
Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It’s possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn’t process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.
You should read about fatbergs before doing this though.
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.
Additional tip: If you’re a traditional artist, your acrylic and oil paint should be even more effective :D
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.
POV: You’re a salty dumb fuck who feels like wasting vegetable oil
Landlord detected, humanity rejected.
POV: you’re reading the comment of somebody that doesn’t cook for themselves
Clearly you’re the one who doesn’t cook if you don’t know what to do with used oil
Why waste the oil? Turn it into gravy, or mayonnaise, or store it to sell to a recycling center that will turn it into biofuel.
Putting used oil into food when it’s not even good enough for frying anymore doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.
Recycling is fair enough.It really depends on what it was used for. I almost always turn bacon grease into gravy or mayo, for oil/butter from cooking meat dishes I make pan sauces, but for frying oil I recycle.
Or strain it and if you have a diesel use it
Aren’t you also clogging the city pipes?
Not if the substance is a liquid at room temperature.
Pouring hot bacon grease down the drain will do that, because the bacon grease is only a liquid when it’s hot.
Something like olive oil isn’t going to clog pipes.
Of course you are. But people who ruin other people’s property already don’t give two shits about others.
Looks like my arteries
Am I the only one who thought of a Sea Lamprey?
Forbidden fleshlight
Glad to know I’m not the only one whose mind went down the gutter.
Literally
My mind won’t be the only thing going down the gutter now.
Life should have these splash screens whenever you fall asleep.
My insomnia will be like a long loading game that has two or three repeating tips for each loading screen.
Like shitty life pro tips, sleep edition.
