How did it happen that many people (Americans???) flush fish down the toilet?

Just bury it, like you would any other dead pet.

[–] cryptiod137@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I used to bury my pets until my family got mad

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 105 points 2 months ago

You’re supposed to wait until the pets are dead.

It's time to flush my 5-ton (11.000-pound) pet elephant down the toilet 😢

[–] coke38@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Did you wait for them to die before ?

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Uhh, my roommate fed his dead fish to my tarantula.

Continuous ecosystem, why not

I was surprised she actually ate it to be honest. I was expecting to have to dig it out.

[–] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Maybe I'm alone on this, but my family used to put dead birds, squirrels,... found on our terrain in the trash... I really got furious and said that those were living beings and they deserve proper burial even if it's some random animal found in the backyard...

The only way to make them understand what It means was to say: "Don't worry, I will also put your dead body in a trash bin".

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That's fine, put me in the trash. Reverence for dead bodies is weird. They aren't living, they will never be living again, they are empty husks of meat. The only reason to bury them or do anything else with them is to avoid the spreading of rot and disease. Putting them in the trash is just as acceptable as throwing out that 2 month old cooked beef you forgot about in the back of the fridge.

[–] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That's your point of view. And I won't give you any counter-arguments... I'm not even religious by any mean, but showing some respect is the minimum due to every living being on earth.

Sure I put my own vision to other family members, but In most people believe system being thrown away like trash is not the way you want to be remembered of.

I do not eat any meat but I won't push that specific regime to anyone, because that's not how it works. However, I'm not sure this comparison is right... You wouldn't eat your cat/dog, pet bird, bunny?

I have had pet bunny soup, unfortunately. We were moving and we couldn't give him away so my grandpa took him out back and my grandma fired up the stove... It wasn't a nice experience for us kids but it was culturally acceptable here.

I don't since you tend to keep your pets around until they're too ill to keep on living decently and I wouldn't eat sick meat.

Do you want Gul Dukat to hide the existence of the half-Bajoran love child he intends to murder out of personal ambition?

Because that attitude is exactly how you get Gul Dukat trying to hide the existence of the half-Bajoran love child he intends to murder out of personal ambition.

It might be a Simpsons did it thing. Then finding Nemo probably popularized it further with the "all drains lead to the ocean" scene.

[–] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's older than the Simpsons for sure. Flushing your (mostly/presumed) dead pets down the toilet was how the urban legends of alligators in the NYC sewers came about...

It's all pipes Jerry!

Imagine having a nice, relaxing work poo and suddenly the next stall is full of fish mourners

[–] echo@lemmings.world 54 points 2 months ago

We, a developer team, had a fish at work. Being developers it was a Beta fish. And, of course, we named it Masta.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kinda in the same vein: I was taking an emergency dump at a Walmart. There was a person in the stall next to me taking a dump as well.

Some time passes and a Walmart employee knocks and says "maintenance, any one in here?" And before I can respond the guy next to me let's out a massive loud as hell fart and the walmart employee without missing a beat says "take your time".
