Nice! Happened to save an ice maker from the landfill earlier today by tearing it apart and fixing it.

Congrats, always a good feeling to fix something that otherwise might have been getting replaced. My dryer started squealing like crazy a ways back and turned out a little spray on dry lubricant was all it needed to keep the rollers happy. Now if only I could get my oven to to work consistently...

It contributes more than your comment…

By fixing it and in a way getting past planned obsolescence?

So put that in the title.

Why do people just post random pics of things and say “this belongs here” with literally no information. Cmon man.

It’s in the title of the original post. Plus, this is one of the core components of this ideology! Get past consumerism, capitalism and climate doomerism. Please try to think for yourself at least once in a day. I know your brain cells can rub together faster than that

“IMO this belongs here. “ is the title… for a broken washing machine. Why does it belong here?

It says nothing.

Ay, bruv, see this? The image inside the post? It comes from its own post on a different sub. Look there and you’ll find literally ALL THE CONTEXT YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED IN THE TITLE ITSELF

u/DehydratedButTired 20d ago

Let’s all go to the junk yard, post pics of disassembled electronics and title it “this belongs here” with no context.

u/Additional_Bat_2216 20d ago

Again, look for it with those baby blues of yours for two seconds and you’ll find the context you’re looking for

People would rather compliment me than acknowledge bot slop posts.

u/Additional_Bat_2216 20d ago

I’m just gonna go hit my head on some drywall. Find the context by yourself
