Wouldn’t surprise me. These plastic lawn people are lacking in grey matter.

You want to know what’s worse than a lawn? Plastic sheeting masquerading as grass. /c/nolawns@slrpnk.net is having heart palpitations.

    What's wrong with it aside of the shitty look? It is still better than concreting the whole front yard.

    I could write many reasons but if you can’t immediately see why laying out sheets of plastic over sand and gravel is worse than a lawn i don’t think it’s worth arguing.

    For what it’s worth I’m not sure it is better than concrete.

    What the fuck have I just read? Weren't you bitten by Trump perchance? Or have you started putting those mushrooms in the soup again, hmm?

    Its a whole thing over here. I remember moving into a place with a plastic lawn a few years back. From Spring on the backyard became unusable it was so hot. Ended up ripping it out and laying some real grass so I could have a bbq without bbq'ing myself.

    So.. It isn't a joke? Plastic grass lawns are real? Oh, my mistake then. I never saw anything alike and it doesn't make much sense to me, so I assumed that is just some stupid modern kids joke.

    I suppose you're mostly right, its a satire site, commenting on a practice that is a joke. So pretty correct there 😆

    It's become such a problem in Perth that local councils are having to take action. Which is a joke all in itself.
