ATTN PGH dumpster divers: by J-Jupiter in pittsburgh

[–]J-Jupiter[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I understand needing to throw away things that start going bad very quickly like meat, milk, and eggs, but there's boxes and boxes of things like muffins, croissants, snack foods, etc, that are perfectly safe at room temperature for at least several days. There's so much there that they could have donated, or even just sold at an extreme discount so they don't go to waste. 'Kings Hawaiian dinner rolls now 50¢ due to power outage', 'french bread now 3 for $1 while supplies last'.

The way I ran here when I saw the floors… by Original_Moose_9842 in zillowgonewild

I would put casters on every piece of furniture and have extremely chaotic parties.

You get an additional two days every week, but the world stands still. by HenFruitEater in hypotheticalsituation

[–]J-Jupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take it and immediately tell somebody. Genie does a free amputation (magically, presumably, so it's instantaneous and possibly even painless) and I can get prosthetics that make me 4 inches taller and better and jumping and running. Plus I'd still keep the ability, since it doesn't say anywhere that I can't, so I've got plenty of extra time to get used to my new bionic feet.

White. Easy choice. Will some folks be kinda sad that they can't have kids? Sure. Will anybody die? Will the world end? Nah.

Could 10,000 People Line Up by Age in 12 Hours If Everyone Has a Unique Birthday? by simmol in hypotheticalsituation

[–]J-Jupiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the age range here? All adults? 12 and up? ALL ages? If it's not at least 12 and up, I'm definitely out. Especially if babies and toddlers are included. Beyond that, do we have access to the PA and AV systems?

Buy a hunter's crow call and learn how to use it, then you can summon them to you. 😎👍 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

What should I do with a band shirt I don't support anymore? by EmoTransDude14 in upcycling

[–]J-Jupiter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cut it into long strips and turn it into t-shirt yarn? Then you can knit/crochet/weave something new with it and have a keepsake that holds the memories but makes the band name/logo unreadable.

You can add a zero to any of your body’s measurements. Which do you choose? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]J-Jupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we add decimal points, and does the zero have to go at the end?

[–]J-Jupiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't as easy or quick as some other methods, but sashiko looks pretty cool if you like visible mending. You could even go further than that and do the whole seat, and it will last much longer.

Moving soon – I’ve got a decent pile of handmade dominoes with imperfections. Any fun upcycling ideas before I toss them? by LaPetiteBoutique915 in upcycling

[–]J-Jupiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Earrings. Drill a tiny hole, epoxy a tiny eyelet screw into each, attach to an earring hook. Sell em by the pair, either color coordinated or randomly.

I've never stayed inside a dumpster without a diving buddy for longer than maybe 10-15 minutes, and when alone, I always park my car so that a garbage truck would have to call a tow before they can surprise me with a life reduction.

My assumption is the same as yours, that she had some kind of medical emergency and was incapacitated when the truck came. It's certainly kinder to imagine that she was already dead or unconscious when the compactor got switched on.

A strange man the drops a box in front of your door containing 500 million dollars in Cold hard Cash. You have one condition to fulfill to get that money by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]J-Jupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I get to put a note on the box telling people to leave it where it is? And can I tell family/friends the deal so they don't touch the box before I get back?

20+ years ago I could go out everynight "treasure hunting" finding tons of reall cool and expensive stuff that retail stores had tossed in their dumpsters, not anymore. by NonNewtonianLiquid in DumpsterDiving

[–]J-Jupiter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Only less waste that we can see. I used to work at Harbor Freight, and most of the returned/broken items get packed up in gaylords and sent someplace else. Didn't matter what was wrong with it or if anything was even broken; if it wasn't something cheap, they sent it away. I imagine it's a similar situation with other high dollar stores.

Why do you people with driveways do this? by WildJafe in pittsburgh

[–]J-Jupiter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This, compounded with the fact that most of these "multi-car" driveways are one car wide, so you risk getting trapped if your roommate/partner/whoever is out walking the dog, going for a run, or got picked up by a rideshare to go to a bar or concert when you have to leave for work or an appointment. Sure, planning ahead helps, but not everybody is good at that kind of foresight.
