I love you guys, but some of you are just fucking weird.

Also remember: Never lick your finger to turn the pages of a book, only boomer nazis do that.

    Gardens are cool but lawns should absolutely be destroyed.

      Like eighty percent of the people in this country who have lawns do not do anything to maintain it other than mow it. The vegetation is natural. There are like ten trees on my family's lawn and there are tons on everyone else's. Does fucking everyone else on this site live in the middle of Nevada or something? Is it just that nobody goes outside? How did this weird conception of what a lawn is even start?

        hi, you may not be familiar with california, a mediterranean climate home to roughly 1 out of 4 americans, but most people in single family homes seem to feel obligated to have a flourescent green patch of turf that they pay someone else to mow using a highly polluting gasoline mower and literally never set foot on.

          Ooooo, my favorite is when people (boomers) get really lazy so they just cover their fucking lawn in plastic turf.

          My experience was that Californians are big fans of gravel and cactus for yard cover

            Depends, the bay area has a lot of fucking grass, especially in the burbs which makes up a lot of the actual greater SF bay. There is people who are doing something like you said but moss or undergrowth lawns are more popular than that. I only have one neighbor in a 5 block radius who has done a gravel/Zen inspired front yard, but there is probably 6 or so non grass yards too. Grass is still overwhelmingly the dominant yard.

            In SoCal I saw a lot more variations on what people do, a lot less uniform than many parts of the bay
