I don’t have a garbage disposal. I’ve never even seen one in real life. I think they’re just not a thing in Canada. I’ve only heard of them from TV shows (where they always seemed extremely dangerous).
in America that is a very big deal you would have been shook.
I’m curious what this means. I’m in my mid-30s, grew up in the US, and have never had a garbage disposal either. My childhood home had a garden and a compost pile, so that’s where food waste always went. Then I moved into apartment life. The only time I ever saw a garbage disposal was when my ex’s mom insisted that we had one in our apartment (which was a condo my ex was renting from her.) She said, “It’s under the sink!”
Yeah. It was under the sink: still in a box, uninstalled. Even after she learned that, she still didn’t bother having someone install it. That was the only time in my life where there was (technically) a garbage disposal in the place I lived.

I just realized what a jerk I was! I asked for advice and you gave advice and I was snarky! I’m sorry
No worries! I don’t think you’re a jerk! Your landlord is a jerk for not providing a dishwasher!
Haha damn ok in America that is a very big deal you would have been shook. I’m used to it now but it is nice to clear up small build up.
They aren’t actually dangerous but I think most people have some irrational fear about them regardless lol
ETA I just realized what a jerk I was. I forgot I asked for advice. You gave advice and I was sparky
