I still don't understand why keeping the leaves around is such a big topic in lemmy. Why, just why? Where did it come from?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it came from ugly ass monocrop lawns

And from the drastic collapse of insect populations.

And from the fact that 2 stroke engines, most often used in leaf blowers, emit more pollution per hour than a semi truck.

Look I'm just too lazy to do anything about them and I don't mind them being there.

You probably don’t have a lot of trees or the smell would keep you up at night.
