poll bcus I think I’m being gaslit on how common garbage disposals actually are (also say where ur from)

I have one

I don’t have one currently but I used to

I’ve never had one

I don’t have one but I know someone who does

I’ve never seen one IRL in my entire life

other (elaborate)

The funniest thing I learned from the notes on this is that people outside the U.S. not only don’t have garbage disposals in their kitchen sinks, but when they’re aware of them, they sometimes for some reason assume that it’s for disposing of “trash” in general.

The sink garbage disposal clogs and breaks if anything like cardboard or plastic goes in. It exists to prevent the sink from being clogged by all the gunk from your dirty dishes.

“for some reason” you call it a garbage disposal. so it must be for general garbage

Yeah, no shade to bogleech but “We cannot know why those non-Americans think the thing we call a garbage disposal is for garbage” is considerably funnier as a concept than said non-Americans thinking garbage disposals are for garbage

live in america

do not currently have one

used to have one but i hated it

they never work well

even for kitchen-sink type “garbage”

if I ever end up in a house with one again, I will pretend it does not exist and keep using a drain cover
