Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.
Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat

how about the afternoon, when most people are already awake? making noise during the morning is hardly ever necessary

I agree lawns are a symptom of the sickness of our society and generally that people should consider others when doing noisy activities ( I carry my trash down at night instead of rolling it if it’s late…) but it is considerably worse to do yard work in the afternoon sun. People also don’t have a considerable amount of free time so chores like yard maintenance fall to the weekend. Or petit bourgeois hire, mostly minority services to do this for them and these workers would like to be done before the hottest parts of the day.
I’m surprised to see lack of consideration on this for a communist site. Not everyone forced to participate or brainwashed into accepting a part of American culture is doing it maliciously. Fuck, some HOAs require residents to keep lawns a certain length and there are areas where finding housing outside of HOA communities is difficult
The communist solution is clearly central planning. Instead of people randomly doing their lawns you have a designated block of time when they get done (preferably when everyone is at work) and properly compensate those who do it. This is how they do it on US military base housing, since I imagine wrangling the just-married NCOs and their dependents to do it properly would be much more expensive and difficult.
The communist solution is parks
It’s hot as hell in the afternoon

who tf is awake and out of bed at 730am on the weekend? what?

Some people have a consistent schedule regardless of the day of the week. It’s good for your body since it doesn’t need to “reset” on Sunday night.
My consistent schedule involves sleeping until 8:30 and I don’t even work anywhere laid-back.

That is not remotely true unless you live in a community where everyone is an early bird.

Never. Lawn bad.

REMOVE LAWN remove lawn
While it’s not practical for everyone, we still do have non-motorized push mowers and rakes, which make a LOT less noise and work really well. Electric weed trimmers are also much quieter than the petrol-powered ones.
Who needs a push mower? I reap my grass with a scythe like my ancestors did.
My push lawnmower sounds like the chorus of the damned screaming for every blade of grass plucked from this mortal coil.
sounds like it might need some lubrication
A lot of people don’t realize you should change your lawnmowers oil
The electric mowers are pretty quiet too. If I didn’t have such a big area to mow I would strongly consider one of the plug in models, but also since no one lives within a mile of me I don’t really have to worry about noise pollution either.
