You can't just blame 18-26 year-olds. This was a failure across all age groups. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/interactive-how-key-groups-of-americans-voted-in-2024-according-to-ap-votecast

Are you a child? Are we discussing risk of injury? The attractive nuisance doctrine is irrelevant to this discussion.
Edit: Didn't realize you were the same person from the other thread who I already gave up on. I don't intend to respond.
I don't really know what you're saying anymore. I tried to engage politely. Moving on now.
Well than it’s not working, because microbial action causes the smell.
I'm no scientist, but it seems to turn my food scraps into dirt without smelling bad.
It’s a garbage can, what harm can come from someone using it?
The harm is that I can no longer quietly enjoy my yard. Because it smells like poop.
And if you don’t want it touched, put it in your backyard or lock it.
I have to take the trash to the curb in order for it to be picked up. I leave for work before they pick it up, so it's out all day. During that time, it racks up 3-5 dog poops, guaranteed.
Are people not free to walk up to your house and touch your doorbell?
You're being obtuse. A doorbell is intended to be used by the public.
If I had an apple tree in my front yard that’s not fenced, yes the neighborhood could freely help themselves, obviously a bike is an entirely different situation, and using it as an example is fallacious.
The only thing I can think of is that you must not live in a city. We get a lot of foot traffic here from people who I haven't met and probably never will. If they all felt entitled to pick from my imaginary apple tree, it would be bare in a week.
I like to sit outside sometimes and I don't have a very big yard. Believe it or not, the smell is not always contained to the bin.
I also happen to have a compost bin nearby. It doesn't smell like rotting at all.
Are people seriously this fucking entitled that they can’t let someone use their bin so they don’t need to carry a bag…? The hell happened with community spirit and being neighborly?
Yes? I am entitled to exclusive use of my own garbage can. It's not public property. I feel like this is pretty obvious if you think about it.
If I had an apple tree in my front yard, passers-by would not be entitled to just take apples. If I had a bicycle in my driveway, no, you can't take it for a spin.
You sound like someone who poops in residential garbage cans
Hosing it out doesn't help unless I do it every week.
I'm not stewing over it, it's the poopcan that's stewing in the sun until I come home from work.
As someone whose bin receives unwanted poop, the issue is that it goes straight to the bottom of the bin and never leaves because they don't lift the cans up all the way. Then it gets smashed by my own trash, so now I have a permanently poopy-smelling trash bin that receives weekly deposits.
Fun fact, n + (n+2) = 2n + 2

It's called "getting Munched".
