Wet ass pussy.

TBH I assume assume the least informed and biggest arseholes dominate discussions.

The rest of the world is simply lucky that our biggest and dumbest arseholes don’t speak English too well.

Bit of a tangent, but I find it funny that Americans complain about it being hot when they have AC in most of their buildings, but then mock people complaining about a 40C/105F heatwave with relatively high humidity in countries where AC is anything but standard and sometimes with houses which are designed to keep the heat in during the winter meaning it can easily reach 45C/115F or more inside.

I assume it’ll happen again this summer, with the usual Marie Antionette level “let them use AC” comments, not seeming to grasp the environmental and financial cost of AC everywhere.

Square covers like this are common globally. AFAIK also in the US:

Setting square tiles or paving stones around a circular cover is a pain in the ass.

But it wouldn’t be the first time the US is weird, like the whole imperial measurements thing, so whatever. Or maybe you live in a state that decided square manhole covers were biblically incorrect.

It’s next to a drainpipe…

Depends. The cover is resting on the inside lip which prevents moisture getting in. Ie. this cover is actually significantly bigger than the hole it’s covering.

Eg. if this cover is 25x25, but it’s covering a hole which is less than 18x18 (c=25.5), it’ll be quite hard to drop the cover in.

It’s really strange that it’s square and not round.

It’s not even slightly strange. These are incredibly common all across Europe and the world.

It’s a small cover, almost certainly to service the nearby drainpipe or perhaps for the water or gas connection to a house.

The chance of it falling in the hole is zero unless you’re trying to do it on purpose. Lift and slide, done.

And even if it does fall in, you can simply reach in and pull it out.

1. Manhole covers are not heavy as fuck. They’re meant to be able to lift out. I’ve lifted far larger ones than this no problem.
2. This manhole cover is at most 30x30cm judging by OP’s foot, so weights at most a few kilos.
3. This is a small cover, probably covering a drain, not a hole to the centre of the earth. I have a few around the house. Cable tie, piece of string, lift it out no problem. You lift and slide it aside, it’s not going to fall in unless you’re a complete moron or drunk. If it does fall in, you pull it out, because it doesn’t weigh 100 kg.
4. If you’re worried that this would take your finger off, you’re the kind of person who should hire an electrician to change a light bulb.

Don’t be lazy.

Get a cable tie or some tongs, pull it out, rotate it, done.

Less effort than it took to take this picture and post it on here.

It’s not The Wire or The Sopranoes.

It is genuinely fun and bingeable.

Been like that for a while.

For example, /r/videos supposedly has 30 million subscribers, but you can sometimes hit the front page of that sub with 50 upvotes.

Subs like that have been decimated by tiktok, so it’s safe to assume most of the subscribers have left. It simply doesn’t make sense.

I really liked mini Yoda. I don’t get why you hate Disney so much.

So much great content. Really is the golden age of television now that the companies like Disney and Netflix are all trying to compete with each other.

I always enjoying pirating their shows and movies.

Not if you go through old.reddit.
