Reject modernity. Embrace tradition.

I'm sure there will be people that take this seriously lol, PSA to others don't do this. It fucks up the land and nearby water sources as it spreads out. In the US you can be forced to replace the contaminated soil

Boomers: Why don't you kids go outside and play. When I was your age we played in the dirt for hours at a time.

Also boomers:

Put oil back where it belongs, in the ground!

I mod !soilscience@slrpnk.net

I will mail you one of those jack in the boxes with boxing glove in it if you do this.

Tradition is to save it and use it as a wood oil so the wood will not decay after some time on the rain. Absorbs really good, doesn't stink or stick...

Shit like this is why people doing home gardening, especially in areas that have been inhabited for hundreds of years, without testing the soil first give me heart palpitations. What are you eating?? I don't know, and neither do you!

Also, heat your home more effectively in the winter by always having a bucket of coal burning in your living room.

The first couple times I helped my dad change the oil in his car he dumped it down the storm drain which lead to the Chesapeake.

We don't do that anymore.

My grandpa would just set the old oil filters when he would change the oil in the 3 farm tractors he owned. He did that for years and 30 years later that spot is still like blacktop. At least it’s only a 2’x2’ spot but I couldn’t imagine if he dumped the actual oil. And that’s only 3 diesel tractors twice a year.

The thought that shops were doing it for years is sad

So return to its source. Basically.

Oil is weird.

back in those days ppl were burying old cars in their backyards

I need the full book/magazine this comes from there.might be other nice tips.

Instructions unclear, now the swing set in my back yard needs it's tires rotated.

The modern way of doing this would involve reversing the process of dinosaur bones turning into oil. So you just put into the oil-to-bone-inator and bury those bones back into the ground where they originally came from.

Thanks. It nice to have a reliable source to turn to when I am inspired to follow guides published in the 1960s.

I remember that 1970 shitty cartoon "Barbapapa", which proposed burying all kinds of waste as a solution.

This is not a meme. Apparently this is a difficult concept.

I mean, oil comes from the ground so I'm just returning it to its natural habitat.
