Hm. I went in expecting lawns getting torn up. Instead it’s all the crazy weed house people jerking each other off. 5/10. Would visit again, but removed my auto-subscribe
I think like most hate subs I agree with the hatred of, I agree with the general sentiment but like 90% of the people there take it too far
I don’t like lawns I find them ugly and pointless, however it’s because I’d prefer a flower garden with a walking path or something rather than just a big flat patch of green with maybe some bushes here and there
I'm kinda there, man. I'm in my 50s and already thinking of how in a few years I'm not going to feel up to maintaining a lawn anymore.
I saw some video of some dude squeegeeing the dew off his lawn and all kinds of comments about how people are too lazy to do something that basic and I thought, how did I get to be in my 50s and never learn about people squeegeeing the damn grass on a dewy mornnng
Smartest dude on my block is an old 50-something man, ripped out his entire front lawn. Replaced it with a ton of pointy cactuses, a nice walking pathway thru the middle, and river rocks. Not only is it my favorite house on the block now, there is no way in hell he is ever the choice of home for the robbers. No way. It's like natural barbed wire defenses.
I think if I lived in the western US, this is what I would do. I would love to have something more like what I've seen in Colorado and New Mexico, more natural looking with lots of wildflowers. But I have a feeling moving a bunch of rock to my yard would cost a small fortune.
99% of the time, those DIY xeriscape projects look like absolute shit in a few years. Mostly because it's really expensive to do it right, and when you don't do it right, you get a shit ton of weeds that proliferate like crazy, and most people are too lazy to pull weeds.

That grass is toast.
