puts it in the trash: "please recycle it"
puts it in the recycling: "you can't put that there!"
No see you have to bring it to the only supermarket that recycles soft plastics 45 minutes away by car
And that bin gets emptied into the dumpster when no one's looking.
When you have to put up a damned chart for what's acceptable in the recycling bin...
Also it all wins up in the same landfill anyway.
Also it all winds up in the same landfill anyway.
This may or may not be true for your area. Often people make this assumption when they’ve been told this factoid (including me for many years!), but visit your local recycling center to find out what they do. Sometimes yes, recycling gets landfilled. Or burned. But some places do the work and source stuff out. It’s worth finding out what happens to your waste.
(My wife is big into recycling, composting, etc, and has had a number of conversations with our local recycling people and has toured the plant a couple of times. She’s taught me a lot, and shown that at least in my area and for specific materials, a lot of what I cynically assumed about recycling just isn’t true.)
My mum is really into recycling, so she's obviously a big fan of Lemmy's meme communities, ha ha ha.
Mülltrennung ist wichtig
Aber es ist so cool, sich über einen sehr geringen Mehraufwand aufzuregen!
I'd have that same reaction. As my old favorite TV show used to say: "Get it right or pay the price"
I loved Salute Your Shorts. What part(s) of you are currently in pain?
Then they headed on their third trip to Europe this year and polluted through the skies!
How else is the town gonna get new benches without the soft plastics?!
When I was a garbage man (covid was a weird time) one stop was a business that made those benches, beach chairs, picnic tables etc. Every other week that dumpster was filled to the brim with leftover pieces and "sawdust". We don't have a recycling center in the area so guess where that all goes?
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
