I happened to misinterpret the content on the bottom right part of the image for another bodypart :)

Yeah I thought it was muscles for a second too before I realized it was a cock

If you must have a lawn (e.g. HOA, personal preference), I strongly recommend doing away with this nonsense and go electric. Better yet, stay ahead of battery obsolescence and get a plug-in model, provided your yard is small enough. No more gas, oil changes, clogged filters, re-gapping spark plugs, and no more dislocating your shoulder trying to start the damn thing. Just keep the blade clean and sharp and it'll run for a decade at least.

Just get a Makita or some other power tool company that lets you use the same battery for your drill, mower and a bunch of other things. Make sure it's a reputable one where the ecosystem will be around a long time.

Or get a reel mower and call it a day

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Ok but if you did before 10 am you might not wake up motherfucker

Another fun way to deal with assholes is to get a bunch of medium rocks and throw them into random places in the yard.

I convinced my truck drivin', Trump votin', gun totin', beer swillin' redneck neighbor to switch to an electric mower purely because he was envious of my own electric one and how it just runs when you press the button, without fail and every single time. It was actually kind of hilarious.

[–] kurikai@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I have got 9 people to buy electric lawn mowers. Electric lawn mowers are amazing.

You can one up him buy getting one of those automated ones that run automatically every couple of days. Get it to run at night and he will be amazed how you keep a perfect lawn without him ever seeing you mow

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why would you run it at night? They're not as loud as petrol mowers, but spinning blades are not exactly quiet when mowing

[–] kurikai@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The sound is negligible. You wouldn't even notice it running.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Oh neato then. I had a full-sized corded lawn mower back when I lived in a house where I was burdened with a lawn. It was quieter, but still loud.

Glad to hear that there are quieter ones.

Or the properties are just so huge you wouldn't disturb anyone haha (I lived in a inner suburban place where the next house was less than 5m wall to wall)

[–] ahti@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Careful running those at night. Depending on local wildlife, you might end up waking up to a mowed hedgehog.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I'll get you THIS time, Sonic.

[–] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I feel there is real life experience to this post…

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Yeah vacuums are one thing. I’m not sure how I’d feel about an automated lawn mower.

Don't mow nearly that often, you need to give the grass time to grow so local wildlife can try to go through a lifecycle when it can. Constantly mowing your grass is terrible for overall biodiversity, lowers soil quality and is bad for pollinators. Only mow like every two weeks if you can.

Having the grass already ruins the biodiversity

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Doesn't matter, mowing often will make the problem worse regardless of what's being mowed. Plus, there are tons of local fauna that will use grass to hide, live and grow during the time you'll be not mowing.

Would it be better to plant native grasses? Absolutely. But we should still encourage whatever biodiversity we can to help our local area. Every little bit helps, because it's not just the grass that you're helping by leaving it to grow.

I'd need three of those because my yard -- or rather yards -- are three discontinuous chunks.

But then, that may qualify as my own robot army. Hmm...

CRANK THAT HOG BROTHER

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

On the first pull

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 31 points 1 week ago

My mower always started first time, every time.

Because it was electric 😌

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 30 points 1 week ago

is that what they're calling it now

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You sleep with a full deli's worth of bologna and ham laid out on your chest? Wow, talk about living the dream.

In an assumption that those reading the comments here are lawn cutting folks, please consider not cutting your lawn at all, or if that's not feasible at least reducing how often or how large an area you do it to. Nature cannot survive the onslaught of every home on the planet having a perfectly neat 10mm tall patch of grass and nothing else. We need diversity.

Creeping thyme is so much nicer. Bee-friendly, mosquito repellant, smells nice, and you can eat it.

How I sleep when that aquarium of sea monkeys I ate a year ago reach full maturity.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

This meme is as old as cranking mowers.

[–] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Crank it with a shirt on next time. You cranked your dang nipples straight off your chest there bud.

Imagine having property with a lawn to mow

[–] neclimdul@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All this electric mower love in the comments and I'm looking at fixing the carb on my 20 year old gas mower because the arm broke off my electric after 2 years.

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Did you crank it too hard?

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

At a reasonable time of day
