Two empty aluminum cans and one clothing tag.

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trash? None.

Clutter / work-in-progress: No comment.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 7 points 1 day ago

This comment has inspired me to move all the "work in progress" off my desk and on to some other table today.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That would be the floor, upon which I’m standing. Opinions vary as to exactly how much trash I constitute.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I’m at my sisters. She has kids.

Sooooo much mess.

I had a neighbor who had a big hedge right in the middle of his yard. I asked him about it one day.

He said that it was his father's 1934 ford that he had parked there in 1961 when it quit working. He drained the fluids and left it in the front yard for the rainy earth to eat it through and grow up into a new hedge.

Nearly 200 pounds of trash made up of 70% water and a bunch of carbons... 🙃

[–] three@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You shouldn't talk about your mother like that.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lmao my mom actually weighs less than me.

My mom was like: "why u so fat? lose some weight jesus christ"

And I was like: "Sorry mom, I've become American. It's your fault for bringing me here."

Yep that's my excuse. I'm fat? No, I'm just American.

[–] three@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Lmao didn't ask; just a joke ;)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago

Does dog fur count as trash?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

No trash, loooootta dust.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you consider the sofa I'm sat on a surface? In that case one me.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Hey, don’t talk about our friend Denjin that way.

[–] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

None because I'm laying in bed and my nightstand is too small for garbage.

Zero. I’m on a public transit train. Surprisingly no trash. It isn’t clean, but no litter.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

None!

...but that's because I'm on the shitter and not at my desk.

Shure, if you define trash to not be that laptop...

MY LAPTOP BTW >:)

[–] queerstudbroalex@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Some things are trash, while some I just need to move to better places.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Lots of clutter, no trash. Maybe some of the papers in the coffee table that my toddler has scribbled on are trash, but I'm saving those for re-use until they get crumpled or I see her choose not to use them when she'a drawing.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Empty can, a tooth-pick and a piece of wrapper from a cookie packaging I just opened

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'm on my porch, and what's out here is 50% trash.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

A very modest amount of dust. It's a bathroom sink.

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

There are a few flecks of rice/onion peel on my dish drying mat. Today is laundry day, so it'll be washed soon.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

2 trash here, I gotta get those.

Big night last night, blunt was rolled and smoked which is out of character. It's singed, brown corpse is relaxing at the edge of an ash pool inside the "ass"-tray my wife bought a few years ago. The wrapper is also on my desk. Two is my answer.

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

There is 1 trash on it

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

One partly used tissue. It’s on a nightstand.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 day ago

Inside, nothing noticeable.

Outside, also nothing noticeable.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

On a highway in the midwest US and the shoulders are clean, but also covered in snow. The snow is a double edge here with equally covering up and making trash more visibly at the same time.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Glasses, Nintendo Switch, ear buds, tin of sweets, lamp. No trash. Trash goes in the bin.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today -1 points 1 day ago

None, am on a boat

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 0 points 1 day ago

I'm lying in bed, so just my trash girlfriend.
