Grandma hates the environment and wants to make sure no one gets to enjoy it after she’s gone
Typical Boomer
Unironically.
In the ocean? I like decent grandmas who want their car batteries properly d’esordio of.
Edit: disposed*
I thought most grandmas knew that car batteries definitely belong in a beautiful blue ocean, especially ones with little to no car batteries. Is a life without throwing car batteries into the ocean even worth living? If you need someone to talk to, or even just to go throw car batteries into an ocean with HMU.
It’s not disposal, it’s d’esordio
Me too, that’s what the burnbarrel is for. Some people, smh my head
I just wanted to double check, and holy crap it’s real:
How to fuck up the water table in your surrounding area real fast.
Fun fact, doing this could create a monetary liability far in excess of the value of your home and property.

It’s also not going to be particularly healthy drinking if your home has its own well rather than being on city water. Which where I live, is very common for detached homes.

It’s the same mindset that lead to using dispersants on the oil spilled by deep horizon. It’s not about science, it’s about dealing with a problem that has no easy good solution, so instead of a good solution, just something is done.
Oil companies probably thought that people would be more resistant to buying oil if it needed special effort to dispose of properly. Maybe they didn’t even have a good way of dealing with it at that time and just hadn’t dumped enough of it yet to realize that it would eventually run down into the water table. Though going by how they handled realizing that burning oil at all was going to have a huge effect on climate, they likely wouldn’t have cared even if they did know.
Just like deep horizon wasn’t an environmental problem for BP but a PR one, thus they selected solutions that looked like they were trying, that they shouldn’t be liquidated to fund a real cleanup effort, and that new deep water oil wells were still worth the risk. Think of all the retirees that they are holding hostage because they put money towards funds that bought BP stock and derivatives!
Fossil fuel companies knew from the start burning it was bad. They have always known.
My grandfather used to drizzle his used motor oil along his fence to help control weeds.
I found that sentence as difficult to type as you might hope.
My great aunt used to spray gasoil on her potato plants to get rid of pests. I have no idea if it worked, but she had a lot of completely bonkers ideas.
I wouldn’t eat those potatoes.
Gotta dilute it with a bit of diesel and paint the fence wood with it
I just put it in the fuel tank of my old diesel car.
There is only one way to show Grand Ma that you love them. Some light environmental destruction.
That’s how we used to do things back then!
Lead acid batteries are worth a decent amount of money as scrap, don’t throw them out.
Don’t give in to greed. Throw your car battery into the ocean to feed the electric eels
About $20cad
In the ocean, seriously?!
It’s a meme, hence why it’s ridiculous.

I was not aware of the meta, thank you.
Holy shit that’s hilarious
How are you going to recharge eels otherwise?
That’s stupid, the eels recharge the batteries and then they’re like new again.
Found the marine biologist!
I didn’t realise they were rechargeable. Makes sense though.
That is what the windmills are for
Where do you put your car batteries? I’m pretty sure they belong in an ocean bro.
There is plenty of water to wash it away over there
I know, they should be using the regular trash burnbarrel, why go through the extra effort?
I train to impress da BOYZZZ
8 days a week. Only egolifting.
Wholesome
Kind of mildly misogynist though.
I was joking. Throwing a car battery into the ocean isn’t wholesome either
