i will never understand why someone would do this instead of just throwing them away

>>14776273
Of course not, I put them in the compost turner.

>>14776277
I do it if I'm using the whole carton but I then throw the carton away. One of my roommates started doing it a while back and I told them not to put old egg shells back in the fridge please and they quit

>>14776277
>throwing them away
why aren't you throwing them in your compost pile?

>>14776282
the landfill needs compost too

>>14776285
no. no, it does not.

>>14776273
No. I crush them, so they don't become little boats, and throw them out the window, directly into the sea. Crabs love eggshells. it helps them after molting. (I live in a house that floats in the sea, house on a big raft.)

>>14776322
Based houseboat anon. I certainly hope you only do that with biotic trash, though.

>>14776322
pics?

>>14776342
Absolutely. Nothing ever goes into the sea, that the sea cannot handle properly.

>>14776357
That's good to hear anon, very nice.

>>14776350
I did not take this pic. And I prefer to reserve a little privacy. However, my house is somewhere in this photo. I'm on the west coast of Canada.

I crush them and feed them to my quail

That's very cool. Birds need them.

>>14776357
Ever be sparrin’ with the gulls?

Kinda fucked up that birds eat their own menstruation, isn't it?

>>14776367
where do u poo?

Another view, again not my photograph. It's in there, though.

>>14776388
humans eat their boogers, so

>>14776389
I have two choices. I can use my own toilet in the house, which is hooked via pumps and lines to the municipal sewer, or if it's cold and lines are frozen, which happens rarely, I can walk up to the head of the dock and use the marina facilities.

>>14776367
>>14776394
That's very aesthetic. I wish I lived a life as cozy as that.
In theory, is it possible for you to to tow your house somewhere else if you ever wanted to move?

>>14776402
Would you get fined a million dollars if you pood in the water?

>>14776385
I feed them occasionally. Not too often. I also feed the otters, (river otters in the estuary) and there's one seal that likes to come visit. He likes herrings, which I get from the bait shop.

>>14776389
>>14776402
No. I crush them, so they don't become little boats, and throw them out the window, directly into the sea. Crabs love eggpoops.

>>14776411
Not a million, but there are fines for dumping waste into the water, sure.

>>14776410
Yes, it's absolutely possible. We have people coming and going all the time. However, My wife and I like it here, been here about 12 years now.

>>14776273
No, I feed them to my Bone Pixies, often mistake for Tooth Fairies. If you don't give them enough natural calcium they will eat you bones to feed themselves. People often wonder why I keep such dangerous creatures in the house, but they give a good amount of Pixies dust is know for it magical power and they are far more horrify then any guard dog.

>>14776418
Crabs like birds, use the calcium in the shells. When they molt, they need calcium to help form new exoskeletons. Often they eat their old one, egg shells help too. .

>>14776429
I'm happy for you, anon.

>>14776440
I'm glad about that. I hope you are happy too.

>>14776421
How would they even find out tho? Do your neighbors report doodies to the Authorities? I'm sure every once in a while is no big deal.

>>14776450
Well the house has to be hooked up properly in order to be here. No hookup, no living in it allowed. However there are some people who live on boats here and I guess they might occasionally put some stuff out of their holding tanks into the water... I doubt it though, since we have a proper pump-out station.

The people who live here aren't the sort who abuse the water. it's our home. You don't go outside and shit on your lawn, or on the patio of your apartment... and we don't do it in the water.

>>14776463
Do the otters poop in the water or do they have a little pumping station somewhere?

>>14776387
nice selfie

>>14776472
>OOOOOOOO BURRRRRRN

>>14776471
Ha. ha. You should see it when the sea lions come ... A few weeks from now they'll be here to feed on spawning salmon in the river here. And they dump all over the place.

>>14776415
Bad luck to kill a seabird.

>>14776486
Are you allowed to catch the salmon? If so, how do you wash the huge sea lion doodies off them?

>>14776387
>having a garden is for onion boys

Sure sure, tendietard, keep consuming that mcdonalds.

>>14776486
>david chang photography
Yikes. He should stick to ramen and American-Korean fusion shit.

>>14776497
Don't reply to soyjakposters. Starve them out. They subsist off of the tiny dopamine hit they get from each (You).

>>14776523
It's not my photograph. It was taken where I live, however a year or so ago, last time the sea lions were here.

I'm not posting my own pics, because as I said, I want to retain a little of my privacy.

>>14776530
>j-just ig-g-gnore them-m-m

Sure worked for politics, didn't it.

>>14776535

This is /ck/ man youre not gonna get doxxed.
Anyway, looks cozy

>>14776555
>le soy le soy! doing things I dislike is soy!

Go build a garden, tendieboy, it'll get you out of the basement, and boy do you need that vitamin D.

>>14776493
Yes we can catch salmon at certain times of the year. It's a relaxing thing to do... I go out in my rowboat, sometimes I use an electric trolling motor, it's a small boat. I catch a fish, go home, One fish is good for a few dinners, so I butcher the fish, make portions, pack them and freeze. The leftover carcass is for soup stock and after that, into the sea it all goes.

>>14776558
Well you never know do you. I don't want 50 pizzas tomorrow!

>>14776567
What are your favorite ways to cook salmon? What do you use your fish stock for?

>>14776582
Well, I like old fashioned pan fried. But poaching in the stock is nice too. Every now and then I make seafood soup, and some of the fish gets in there too. Depending on the size and type of salmon, (There are 4 kinds on this coast) I do the smoked salmon thing. But if it's a sockeye salmon, it gets stuffed and baked, or like this:
http://www.passionandcooking.com/2014/12/16/salmone-crosta-salmon-wrapped-puff-pastry/

>>14776273
I blend the entire egg + shell up when making eggs. It adds calcium.

>>14776628
The military method!!

>>14776388
free calcium, don't knock it

>>14776596
That sounds nice.

stop talking about idyllic houseboat lifestyle, I want to bitch about my old shitass roommate who did this, the only person I've ever known to do so. Guests commented on it, it was embarrassing. Good riddance.

>>14776273
I put them back in until I am finished cooking, then throw them out.

I rinse them and then microwave for in 30 seconds and powder them with mortar and pestle for doggo’s and mine calcium supplement.

>>14776322
Based . I’d like to live on a boat

>>14776693
LOL!

Well I would bloody well hate that sort of thing too. It's like putting paper towel back on the roll just because you wiped something off the counter, but it was dry, or leaving orange peels in the sink. People who do that sort of thing deserve to be given a bloody good talking to.

It's gross.

>>14776429
Do bugs get into your house?

>>14776711
or using the dishtowel as a handtowel, never changing the dishtowel, and leaving it in a wet balled-up clump on the counter to fester, using it for days-into-weeks in a row without changing it. We had a dish strainer for fuck's sake and he would REFUSE to use it.

listen I'm just really happy to be on my own, with only my own shit to be responsible for.

>>14776367
I'm jealous anon, that looks extremely comfy. Thanks for teaching me something new about crabs.

>>14776707
(We aren't supposed to be talking about this) but, if you want to do that, start thinking about getting it done for yourself. It's not as hard as you think, and it's a very low footprint if you do it right.

>>14776713
No. An otter once did for about 30 seconds, and I chased him out. Left the door open.

>>14776728
That's revolting. Some people have no standards. I knew one guy, a while back who had the disgusting habit of wiping his mouth by lifting the collar of his t-shirt to his mouth and using the inside of the shirt. That, is shit tier behavior!

>>14776730
You are most welcome. And don't be jealous. Find your own comfort. It's out there.

egg shells in the green bin then give the cartons to the food bank

>>14776747
lel, that's so awesome

>>14776385
Based Keeper of the Light.

>>14776776
Think of them as foxes or badgers that swim. They are uppity, fierce and can bite like anything. I was glad when he left. (They aren't friendly like the tamed ones on youtube)

my mom always did this growing up, so i do it, too. it doesn't make them go bad extra fast or anything, so i don't really see the problem.

>>14776273
My roommates do it for some reason I asked them why and they just shrugged and looked at me like i was the strange one, but since I have my own egg cartons I only see it if they pull them out while I'm in the kitchen. I do get a small amount of satisfaction from crushing the empty shells in my hand before I throw them away.

>>14776367
Based and comfypilled.
What are some of your favorite things to do, living on top of the coast? What do you do in winter?

>>14776797
I shovel snow off the roof so the house doesn't sink... Rowing is nice, I find it relaxing. Fishing is only certain times of the year, but crabbing is year round. You can cycle here a bit, and since we get a lot more rain than snow, it's pretty much year round too, if you are prepared to dress accordingly. I spend a fair bit of time away from here while working, so the time I spend at home, I generally spend AT HOME. It's a nice, relaxed community, about 150 people live on the water here in various ways. Houses like mine, or on boats either in the marina or anchored out.

>>14776281
didn't ask
Don't care

>>14776367
fake but comfy

>>14776785
Reading your story made me happy. Thanks and have a good life houseboat anon.

>>14776282
i live in an apartment
do you think the fuckers around me give a shit about the environment
most of them are chinks

>>14776273
I prefer to show my eggs the demise they will meet soon.
I like to leave them in overnight so they can think long and hard about the girl they are going to be force fed to.

>>14777811
>girl
go on...

>>14776273
I don't, But once i opened my egg carton and find empty shells instead of my eggs and a window open with flies swarming the trash. i live alone

>>14776273
The greenbin committee agreed to accept paper-fibre-based egg trays... so yeah. Why dick around getting the shells to the organic waste bin, when I can just dump the whole tray in?

>>14776568

I think he meant that he doesn't put bad stuff in the water. He's not responsible for oil tankers and islands of trash.

>>14776273
my husband does this. i don't even know why he does it. I asked him not to, he said that is what his mom used to do. I even offered to cook every single egg he could ever want from here on out. Still does it.

>>14776273
There was a time when refrigerators had little egg cups built into the door so you could properly store your eggs.

>>14776273
I grind them up and put them in with the food. Adds some awesome textures

>>14776277
i roast them, grind them up and add them to my vermicompost bin

>>14776367
idyllic and crab friendly, you are now my favorite /ck poster. any good content that isn't otherwise attributed to someone that identifies themselves otherwise I am going to assume is from you. I admire your houseboat lifestyle.

>>14776273
When I'm feeling lazy yeah
