How did it happen that many people (Americans???) flush fish down the toilet?
Just bury it, like you would any other dead pet.
I used to bury my pets until my family got mad
You’re supposed to wait until the pets are dead.
It’s time to flush my 5-ton (11.000-pound) pet elephant down the toilet 😢
Did you wait for them to die before ?
Uhh, my roommate fed his dead fish to my tarantula.
The ciiiirrrrrcle of lifffffeeeee
Continuous ecosystem, why not
I was surprised she actually ate it to be honest. I was expecting to have to dig it out.
I don’t know. I tried it with a salmon once, but I had to call the plumber.
Buried a fish under a tree once, fuckin dog had that shit dug up in 5 minutes and was rolling around in it.
So that’s why the chinook are struggling.
It might be a Simpsons did it thing. Then finding Nemo probably popularized it further with the “all drains lead to the ocean” scene.
It’s older than the Simpsons for sure. Flushing your (mostly/presumed) dead pets down the toilet was how the urban legends of alligators in the NYC sewers came about…
Maybe it’s an apartment thing?
It’s cultural but I don’t know why. Probably to avoid smells from dead fish.
Just _____ it, like you would any other dead pet.

(Oh, I’m so happy this is still a thing.)
Imagine having a nice, relaxing work poo and suddenly the next stall is full of fish mourners
We, a developer team, had a fish at work. Being developers it was a Beta fish. And, of course, we named it Masta.
Kinda in the same vein: I was taking an emergency dump at a Walmart. There was a person in the stall next to me taking a dump as well.
Some time passes and a Walmart employee knocks and says “maintenance, any one in here?” And before I can respond the guy next to me let’s out a massive loud as hell fart and the walmart employee without missing a beat says “take your time”.
Clean up in isle 3
And 2, and 4…
So like okay, so OK, so OK, like so, OK, so Okay, like Ok, so???
If I was in the next stall I would have started singing Hallelujah
I didn’t screenshot it lol, it’s literally like that from the the place I stole it from
You STOLE it??? Just downloaded it right onto your device???
You wouldn’t download a car…
Honestly, I would download 10 cars and give 1 to each of my closest friends. Same with houses if I could download those.
My partner asked if this was one of your stories lmao. I immediately came to look for you, because it totally sounds like something that would come from you
I love how in your household I’ve become somewhat of a celebrity.
“HONEY! COME QUICK! NEW LMM STORY JUST DROPPED!!!”
Partner comes running in carrying an iPad She was on a job interview video conference, but told the guy “No, seriously, shush. This is more important, and also you’ll thank me later for sharing.”
Guy on the interview call is just like “This better be good…”
“Oh, it WILL be!”
It’s kinda weird at first, but you’ll get used to it.
I had people that followed me on reddit that now “follow” me on lemmy. It’s obviously not possible to follow users here, but they’ll go to my profile and scroll, which is close enough.
Lemmy is still small enough that anyone can fairly reliably start noticing other users over time and look forward to interactions, or their posts/comments, even without going through the extra step of looking them up.
It’s both cool and disconcerting lol
I don’t follow him lol, we have a lot of the same interests and I see him in threads all the time. As soon as my partner said it sounded like LMM I knew he’d be in the comments
Close enough lmao
Good thing it’s not an NFT, since you totally can’t just download the .png files from those
Was it a skibidi toilet?
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
🫧Blub blub blub blub blub blub blub blub blub🫧
Who does number 2 work for?
Yo that movie is 25 years old!
No way, that movie came out when I was in middle school so its only… been…
