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.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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).

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] Comtief@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] cook_pass_babtridge@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

Soap dish or similar.

This is on the inside.

On the outside, you get 'mild irritation' face for all of these.

"If it's no hassle for you, would you mind stopping your genocide? Please, if it's not inconvenient for you at this time. Sorry again to bother you. Ta. Sorry." Wow very strong message from a RAGING PM.

You do not want to visit me at home then.

Arrrghhhh my eyes, my eyes!

You think you're being funny, but you're not. You're offending an entire nation. (Although I'm fine with drawing a pot of tea in the microwave after the hot water has been poured out of the kettle onto the pot).

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

How many cups of water is that?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Whoa, now, let's not be hasty.

It isn't just the brits that can't abide such rude behavior

Miffed, Peeved, Irked, Mildly Pissed Off, Really Pissed Off, Fuckin' Livid

The drainage-critters need their daily tea too.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 3 months ago

Do that in my house and I'll throw it at your fuckin face, don't be staining my sink.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dump tea cup into sink, that's normal right?

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

Does this comment imply you leave the bag in the cup?

This scale seems way too overt for us. Actually exhibiting rage seems too American. Should be more like “tutting”, “fit of pique”, “not cricket”.
