Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.

Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat

    I've totally been there, and get the frustration. I get two mornings to myself per week, and enjoy spending the morning outside when the weather is nice. I've cultivated the land around my home into a natural landscape and birdsong makes a truly wonderful ambience.

    Unfortunately when spring comes and I'm most looking forward to this I'm reminded that much of the time all I'll be able to hear is the roar of a lawnmower, and the noise is multiplied across the whole city.

    Electric tools (wired or otherwise) are quiet enough to not even be a nuisance, and obviate this entire argument. Not only are they less loud, the sound just doesn't carry. I think they lack the bass tones of a combustion engine.
