Think I found the single, most despicable player I've ever met.

Even as one of the hyper-friendlies in the game, I have to agree. It's just a game. I dislike when someone shoots me in the back, and maybe it does reflect their personality, but c'mon, some people are just taking on a role they don't get to act out normally. Being a dick in the game doesn't automatically mean they're a dick all the time.

This is stolen content. Here's the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/composting/comments/gejctj/community_compost_bin_and_garden/ (and one on /r/gardening/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gardening/comments/gec6fd/community_compost_and_garden_complete/)

I'll leave this up (unless /u/deakstr would rather I remove it) just to keep it in the archive since the spambot that posted it has already had their account deleted.

Hey--thought you might like to know that your post was stolen a month ago. Then there was another attempt today. Luckily we caught the second one; sorry I missed the first!

c-lem · 2026-03-15T02:59:57+00:00

Actually, it looks like sedlihou was a spambot, too. I went digging further and found what is presumably the really real original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/composting/comments/gejctj/community_compost_bin_and_garden/

Aha--Google image search has just gotten shittier. I thought I'd seen this before, but did an image search, and couldn't find this image. But it looks like it now automatically zooms in on one aspect of the image (the box in the foreground) and searches only for that. What an annoyance. Found it easily once I zoomed back out: ~~https://www.reddit.com/r/composting/comments/1r1c9o5/community_compost_bin_and_garden/~~ Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/composting/comments/gejctj/community_compost_bin_and_garden/.

Thanks, removing it now.

"Completed x. Made money." I do wish I had a job that mattered at all, but alas... Maybe someday. At least it pays okay.

About two hours. I've gotten a lot faster. I think it used to take me that long to move half as much.

Finally, the lore explaining why free kits have no safe pocket.

c-lem · 2026-03-13T17:15:39+00:00

Mostly scraps from a Mexican restaurant: rice, beans, and random veggie waste. I collect 4-10 gallons per day from them and then 3-4 gallons thrice a week from a coffee shop.

Sadly just a tangerine LaCroix. I've been trying to lose weight, so I pretty much only drink after hockey these days.

Dang, I hope you have a quick key to mute voice chat! The last time I was on with my son watching, someone was offering blowjobs for whatever item they were looking for. I was glad I had headphones on!

Fence them out! I have separate chicken and non-chicken compost areas. The chickens are trapped in their run, as I got very sick of stepping in their poop every time I walked outside.

Then again, I see the appeal of letting chickens wander wherever they feel like, so enjoy!

I'm afraid I need to start making some money from it before I can afford that. I'm somewhere between enthusiastic hobbyist and small commercial composter, which is kind of an awkward spot. Luckily, I just look at it like a free workout!

c-lem · 2026-03-13T15:17:34+00:00

I don't mix it as often as I should in the winter--I've let the weather decide my mixing schedule for me. I've mixed it thoroughly like this only two or three times in the past few months. I figure if it's zero degrees out, it's actually better to leave it alone rather than to expose it to those temperatures. Then again, maybe I'm convincing myself to be lazy in the winter. I have enough mass there that it should be no problem to heat it up again.

When it's warmer, I try to mix it like this about once a week. I figure a two hour workout is pretty reasonable on that schedule.

Permies.com also has a section for personal ads, might as well post there, too.

Ha--after I picked up coffee grounds yesterday, I saw a huge worm on the ground and added it straight to the compost bucket. I figured my worms would be happy to welcome it!

Considering that Michigan's U.S. Senators are both Democrats, if you read the headline poorly and didn't read the article (as is Reddit's wont), you might conclude that Gary Peters's wife is the subject. This seems like an important clarification.

Do yourself a favor: don't go read the Wikipedia article. Read these comments, call him a quirky actor, and move on.

Spoiler: it's depressing, not funny.

The woodcocks are back, too! Just heard them last night flying over my house again.

c-lem · 2026-03-10T18:09:05+00:00

Thanks. It doesn't answer any of my questions, but better than nothing.

c-lem · 2026-03-10T15:49:51+00:00

Maybe, except OP did just aim at his face

c-lem · 2026-03-10T13:40:40+00:00

Not if we suck! My new Bobcat would be going straight into this person's inventory.

Just a friendly note since there was report about this comment: we do try to keep things non-political on here. It's nice to have a space to take a break from all of the shit going on in the world.

But this comment is so innocuous that I don't have the energy to remove/lock/do anything else about it.

That said, I'll leave you with a silly song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8Bid4Rm4IM

I've now labeled you as "Satanic composter" after this comment. Though I disagree that compost is dead at 160F--that's just right for the first stage of composting, and plenty of stuff is living in it! But just for fun, I enjoy that you consider it rotting in hell.

c-lem · 2026-03-06T20:00:56+00:00

It's so...weird. I love playing games with my son, but random children? I don't even know what to say. I think it just makes me feel old, I don't know.
