This is a classic case of: I find this pretty funny, but some people will take it seriously if it gets upvoted enough.
One one hand, I don't like how easily people attach to validation for destructive or harmful behavior.
On the other hand, landlords.
On the other hand, it clogs the city drain pipes as well. It's your tax dollars it takes, not just the landlord's $.
Yeah, this is the greater problem, fatbergs as they call them. It just destroys infrastructure.
I've always been curious how it does. Does it coagulate back into a fat like state?
Yes. And unless your sewer systems use incinerators, people have to do manual removal.
According to one of my buddies who works in municipal waste, the incinerators are completely self-sustaining once lit, due to the fat content in our waste. We spent five hours talking about his job and all the insane stuff that happens down there. (People getting high on shrooms and scaling the walls to jump into cesspools, serial clothing flushers who clog the sewer lines, hospitals illegally dumping radioactive waste through incinerators, the benefits of incinerators over landfills, but the optics of incinerators looking worse politically, the NIMBYS blocking new sewer infrastructure from being built and funded, despite it saving their own toilets from backing up during storms, climate change affecting and causing pump stations to flood, etc.)
Yes and also kind of glues other remains together into entities dubbed fatbergs

Yes we are
