Where else are you supposed to put them? In the garbage while wet?

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 14 points 3 months ago

The bottom of the harbor.

Obviously you hang them up to dry. That way you can reuse them.

Oh you're one of those are you. Come round your house for a cup of weak second hand tea.

It's biodegradable, right? Straight to the compost (or wherever plant leftovers go).

You might want to check your teabags, some of them use plastic in the glue. It's not a massive amount, but it builds up.

Nah, it'll soak the compost bin, especially in the biodegradable bag.

Put them on the metal bit on the side of the sink (not in it), then later once it's cooled put it in the bin or food waste bin depending on if the bags are biodegradable. No smell, and the sink remains fully in service.

don't have a metal bit on the side

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 3 months ago

Leave it sitting on the spoon.

Soap dish or similar.
