As we used to say on Reddit (RIP Reddit!): I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $5000, Alex
Based, but i wouldnt post it online, because it might be illegal.
How is flushing ashes illegal?
Here in Sweden you can’t keep human ashes. It’s illegal. I’d imagine flushing them would be a problem too.
Can’t have shit in Sweden.
Human remains aren’t allowed to be kept. I’ve no idea about human faeces.
What if it’s both?
I think combining the remains with faeces is probably illegal, because you aren’t allowed to debase them.
I was thinking of if a person was eaten and then the faeces was the remains
Now I have an image of a swedish home having grandma’s last shit in a jar on their mantelpiece because they weren’t allowed to keep her ashes
why? now you don’t have them anymore!
jävla förmyndarsamhälle
Ingen aning. Du får ha aska från djur, men man får inte ha mormor i en urna i bokhyllan. Skulle gissa att det är en religiös kvarleva.
troligtvis hygienskäl
Det är inget ohygieniskt med aska.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Really? So you can’t keep the remains/an urn of their ashes? Does that also apply to things like when they make gemstones from ashes?
According to Skatteverket, a deceased must be cremated or buried within a month of death. If they get cremated, then the ashes need to be buried within a year. There can be exceptions, the page says
- Should the relatives be in disagreement about funerary arrangements
- In case a relative is unable to organise it, e.g. due to sickness
- In case a survivor is to be buried alongside
- In case the departed has donated their body, e.g. for science
No idea if you can turn loved ones into gemstones here, I’d assume not. I’d also assume that if you’re waiting with burying the cremated remains of someone because they’re to be laid to rest alongside a loved one, you’re also not allowed to keep said remains at home.
That makes sense, it’s just blowing my American mind, where an urn on the mantle is extremely commonplace. My brother and I both an urn with our mother’s remains, for instance.
Right? I’ve a friend in England who has a little urn with some of their mother’s ashes. I’m personally planning on keeping my dog’s ashes when he passes. However, apparently keeping a human is a no-no.
Sweden has this rep of being very liberal and free, but there’s a lot going on here that’s baffling. We’ve got some of the highest drug related deaths in Europe, and every single party in parliament is for the heavy criminalisation of drug use. It’s like the one thing they’re all agreeing on. We even did some stop-and-frisk for a while!
I bet the ashes thing is an old law, probably based on religion. I’d imagine they just never saw a need to change it, and too few people cared about it to ask for it to be changed
They’re ashes of a person. Some places have laws against the desecration of human remains that would apply to ashes; flushing them down the toilet would probably count
Since when are nazi carcasses considered “human” remains?
Since always. We can call people with insane political ideologies something other than human if it makes us more comfortable but the fact of the matter is that the scummiest most vile people in history are still human, and writing them off as “well they were a monster, completely inhuman” disarms us from the very human evils that we face today.
Wonder how much the plumber’s invoice came to.
If your toilet can’t flush the ashes of a single corpse, you need a better toilet. I mean, c’mon.
They’re really not ashes. It’s mostly ground up bones.
Cremains. They’re just colloquially called ashes.
And you saw a receipt in the trash for a toilet from Home Depot that was the exact same size as yours, but with a joke hole that was just for farts
Maybe if you let grandma soak and she gets all clumpy it would have a bit of trouble. Nothing a plunger to the face won’t fix.
I won’t buy anything less than a three-corpse toilet, personally.
At the toilet store. Salesman pounds the side of a toilet. “This is a three-corpser, or your money back!”
Salesman nods at the luxury version…“of course with this one, you don’t even need to cremate the body first!”
Yeah i can’t tell you how much time i’ve saved by no longer having to flush each one individually, countless hours
Need at least 3 cpf

Most conservatives slide right down like it’s where they came from.
Called the plumber, but he is being held by ICE, allegedly. No way to know for sure.
The Eternal Swirly. A lot of boomers deserve nothing less.
We can say it. The conservative ones.
Rest in Shit, Grandma

“You’re a Nazi!”
TRANSLATION: “I’m impaired, and have difficulty articulating my position. I want to murder you.”
Killing a Nazi isn’t murder. It’s a public service.
Sure, but most of the people who you think are nazis aren’t nazis.
They may not be throwing around hitler salutes, but are still incredibly racist and would love for entire groups to just be killed.
So why shouldn’t we treat them exactly like they treat others?
Source, please. You are telling us to ignore our eyes and ears. We can see the nazis. They are here among us.
Don’t get all semantic now. It doesn’t need to originate in 1930’s Germany to be a real nazi. A sparkling nazi gets treated like a nazi.
In 2024 we learned it was way more than we thought.
Killing a nazi isn’t “murder”. One of the elements of the crime of “murder” in every state is that the victim must be human.
“I make edgelord comments on Lemmy!”
Translation:
“I didn’t say anything transphobic. In this comment, that is. But I’m a trolling dipshit nonetheless. My transphobia will surface again later though.”
If people, including academics and professionals, are constantly and aptly comparing your political policies and rhetoric to Nazis: you may want to do some introspection.
But it isn’t really much of a comparison or analogy any more. It’s simply a statement of fact. Much of the American right-wing are neo-Nazis, or at least like to LARP as genocidal Christian nationalists as a grift.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but your fucking country has concentration camps and is enabling genocide while ramping up its own.
In fact, the most credible defense that they aren’t Nazis is that they’re not really into it and just using the affect as a grift while capital rapes the country to death.
Unpack that one for me, buddy.
Running defense for nazis… you sure about that? You know what kind of people do that, right?
Ironic considering these people literally want to murder us
Dead nazi can’t do thing to you and overacting based on hatred or paranoia are counter productive.
Just throw the ash at river or beach, or fine dump it on toilet but don’t share it and act like you are doing something good pleae.
… but don’t share it and act like you are doing something good…
But, flushing a nazi down the toilet is the nicest way to treat a nazi. Why are you so upset by a little bit of light-hearted nazi flushing?
We should pass a law that requires disposal of all nazi carcasses via ash-flushing.
yes it is nicest way , but it still not good thing in essence and the context here is for dead one, not alive.
Blend you with tofu, mix with a paper slurry to make recycled paper, print copies of the satanic bible on you, place those free bibles in hotel rooms in LGBTQIA friendly tourist destinations during pride, rip out your pages and burn them with charcoal on a grill where I cook grilled vegan food that i give to the poor, while Macklemore is playing… AND BE DOUBLE WOKE DURING ALL OF IT!!!
i’m not sure how i feel rolling blunts out of grandma satan bible pages
I think it sounds metal as fuck.
I threw my moms ashes in the trash. Not entirely because she voted for Trump.
I’m really sorry. 😥
Sorry for what? That my mother voted for Trump, went so far down the Q Anon hole that she publicly spewed anti vaccine propaganda, ultimately caught a bad case of Covid while having basically all of the high risk morbidity issues, barely managed to survive, then spend the last 2 years of her life as basically an invalid and ultimately die surrounded by garbage and dog shit?
You seriously don’t have kids…
What does that have to do with anything. I do btw.
You would be flashed yo wc too
Instant Grandma™ – Just Add (Toilet) Water!
- instant nazi
That’s commitment to the bit I guess.
dem is ground up bones. Not going to be great for your plumbing. Like I get it, but don’t fuck yourself over
Yeah, spiting Grandma from beyond the grave isn’t worth the plumbing bill lol.
Unironically, yes.
You are talking to someone who posted a Twitter screenshot. Lemmy user Track_Shovel is not the person who flushed grandma’s fascist ashes down the toilet.
nuh uh
…next time sprinkle the dust in while you flush the toilet. Don’t just dump it in like diarrhea.
Dirt goes in dirt hole
That’s right, it goes in the square hole!
Beware the certainty of youth.
I would have taken a shit on it before flushing.
Maybe he did, but granny is taking all the praise by blocking the view.
ain’t that just like op’s granny (she was very fat)
Conservatives are so narcissistic!
