we used to think this was a joke based on wild exaggeration… then you elected trump twice
Yeah well maybe they should hire better designers because I routinely cannot even manage to open them let alone someone less intelligent
Oh damn, who will tell this person?
What are they already working on it?
Self deprecating humor doesn’t get the respect it deserves on Lemmy.
I love when someone manages to get some good banter go through the moderation. I like funny slander. Most however don’t take the bait and just move on. Some guy was trying to tell me I am schizophrenic but thats not really super witty
And that’s why Yogi ends up with all the picnic baskets.
Do like they did in Canada: the push button you have to reach inside the handle to lift it
Oh wait…
You’re in US. No never mind. You’ll likely have someone shove a bunch of shit in there.
Yet another thing that only works in Canada…
We have those in the US, too, and they are the most common style I see in national parks.
Difficulty level: Japan
Apart from the individual kindness of convenience store and private buildings, there simply are no public trash containers. Especially in tourist areas, double especially in nature preserves.
Tourists tend to mash garbage into bottle recycling bins and places that clearly are not meant for garbage.
Maybe then they need trash cans.
Japan’s culture is that you normally take your trash with you. Like I said, there are places the public can throw stuff away. But that’s not normal and you shouldn’t count on it.
Most all of the places tourists visit in Japan are not resorts built for their enjoyment, but a functioning city or social center where natives live and work (including historically-famous places like Kyoto).
Maybe tourists need to learn to hang onto their junk until they get back to their hotels.
Tbf there’s a konbini with trash cans every few hundred meters. Only issue being if you don’t buy something it’s not considered ok to use them afaik, but can just buy sth to eat immediately and throw away the packaging there or just something smaller than your trash and bring it with you after.
Or honestly ignore it because realistically as a tourist all your trash came from the previous konbini anyway and it would just even out. Just don’t go there to dump whatever.
We have functioning cities and social centers here as well. They have trash cans around the place. It’s not really that much to expect a trash can on a couple corners.
It’s also a change in mindset. If you know there won’t be trash cans, you’ll bring less trash with you. That’s why national parks advertise “pack it in, pack it out” so you don’t get people using the “disposable single use tents” or bring in other items that generate trash that ends up in the park.
Yeah I remember we went to London like 8 years ago and I distinctly remember carrying some candy wrapper in my pocket for like 40 minutes because when walking through the city there was not a singular rubbish bin to be found.
Get a roll of those doggy poo bags and you can easily stash it in there in the pocket.
I think this is another case of the Venn diagram being a fuzzy circle.
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a fuzzy circle.
Not feeling that great today, this made me happy. Thank you.
Bears can vote now right? 🧔
It’d help.
Definitely can’t get worse.
Depends on which kind of bear you mean…
Sick burn
