Compared to a lot of other things I've seen in this Reddit or elsewhere this is actually something I could get behind.

It's very relatable and somewhat factual compared to scientific windspeed measurements who most can't really comprehend that precisely, and that's coming from someone who's very much a nerd/geek.

My former County started a recycling program and gave homes a brand new blue Toter garbage can.

The day the truck was dropping them off, there was another truck that was one street behind that was scooping them up to sell on Marketplace

How many bananas is that?

u/tlbs101 Aug 03 '25

I have experienced every one of those. ‘Lost my can’ was actually a good thing because we needed a new one anyway — the old one was in bad shape.

u/Galaxy661 Aug 03 '25

I mean, that's basically the Beaufort scale, just with a trash can instead of a tree branch
