Do you support rice cookers & lawn ownership?


The history of lawns is not only rooted in capitalism but also white supremacy. We should deconstruct & rethink the concept of lawn ownership so that we can reach a more equitable future for all.

What do you need an empty front lawn that youre not going to make use of anyways, to show off to society that you make enough money to own empty space? That you can afford to waste water on it?

First worlders & their capitalism is causing global warming & houselessness. Just look at California with its droughts & a massive Houseless problem ((by the way dont refer to them as Homeless its dehumanizing)). If you (are able to) go outside and touch some grass make sure its not from a front lawn.

Lawns are the reason I don't fear the water "shortage" in the western US

Oh you mean you're short on literally throwing away water trying to make a temperate species survive in the desert to show how rich you pretend to be?

My neighbors across the street threw a bunch of flowers, tall grass plants and shit in their yard so they don't have to cut it. Then used weed killer on the parts that don't have plants.

Looks like hell. I'm shocked the town lets them get away with it.

I'm sure the last drops of water in the ground will be pumped out by some braindead republican screaming about how the government can't tell them what they can't do.

It happens in California too. In 2015, during a major drought, there was a house in Bel Air that used 11.8 million gallons of water in one year. The department of water and power was like "this is fine" and nothing ever happened to that household.

Lawns are pretty stupid and a waste of water. I don't understand why anyone still does it. It isn't even fun. You wanna grow shit, grow some Vegy and then at least you can eat him later.

Pretty sure we're in the top 10 cities in terms of water conservation. We also have a lawn "buy back" program where they pay people to replace their grass with rock.

I always assumed the water used on the strip was just recycled well water. I'm pretty sure Bellagio's fountain is.

I need a lawn cause I got dogs that gotta use the bathroom. Grass simply helps prevent erosion. I give no fucks about said lawn looking good though. Do hate mowing though so I pay somebody. Which is supporting a local business which I good.

Also good if you got guests and need extra parking space. Brother typically parks in the yard when he visits so hes not blocking my vehichle in.

Funny tc mentioned white supremacy though. Had a racist relative that had this notion black people kept shitty lawns. As it where like the 2 black families in our neighborhood had no grass just dirt. So naturally as a little kid and not having been around much I kinda believed it. Didnt care cause I never got people obsessed with their lawn looking good though.

My step grandad would hook up a small flat trailer and let us ride on it while he mowed.

i don't water my yard or heavily seed and fertilize it like some people, but i enjoy mowing it while listening to a podcast or some political streamer (i do that sometimes when i'm not mowing anyway). wife has a decent sized garden and my kids love playing outside, so i'm pro-lawn.

There's something therapeutic about maintaining your own land on a Sunday evening riding your mower.

I have a bit of ivy in the back, i'm on 10 acres but most of it is forest and underbrush. I just kept it natural, in the front and side lot I have some grass, but a lot of it is this real soft moss. I was just never inspired to plant grass seed, I kind of like how it all looks.
