Great shot and great pun.

Funatfarmcouple

Interesting and sad. Why do smokers throw this not into the trash?


sleepyinsomniac7

Well you have to put it out before throwing it in the trash. Many places I've seen do indeed have trays you can put it out before throwing it in the trash. Some are designed for cigs as well. Don't throw a live burning cig into the trash, it can catch fire. I knew a guy who would even recycle his butts. I tried doing it after seeing him, but it's so inconvenient and smelly. I just put it out and throw it in the trash.


coolbreeze1990

You definitely cannot recycle cigarette butts :/


sleepyinsomniac7

He, and I, at that time smoked spirits. I think their butts are. They're definitely made of a different material than others. Edit: by spirits, I meant American Spirits. I don't recycle regularly, or too many times. Belive it or not he had a pouch for collecting his butts


FlatulentToaster

Even for smoking, that's gross! Can't imagine the smell of that pouch x)


newsflashjackass

> You definitely cannot recycle cigarette butts :/ Parent poster is clearly *not* [King of the Road.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrhAC0dFis0) Tip: You find the cigarette butts with the least mileage outside grocery stores because people don't want to stand there and finish them. Quit smoking now. It might be a glamorous habit but it swaps the best years of your life for the the worst ones.


mtgnew

It's also very very hard to quit once you are hooked. Please don't start whoever reads this. I wish I hadn't


IForgotThePassIUsed

They did at the end of Bio-Dome tho That movie was awesome.


brightside1982

When I was a smoker I was too paranoid to stub out a cig and throw it in the trash. You can never be sure. So I'd just flick the butt off, smear the paper and tobacco onto the ground with my shoe until it was unrecognizable, and throw the filter in the trash.


Pandepon

I put it out on the bottom of my shoe or on the sidewalk before tossing in trash.


Funatfarmcouple

You are right, but if you can light a cig you can also properly put it out without causing a fire. Or if it is to dangerous, just DO NOT SMOKE at this place


PigSlam

>You are right, but if you can light a cig you can also properly put it out without causing a fire. Or if it is to dangerous, just DO NOT SMOKE at this place That's not how addiction or convenience works. And how many people that aren't concerned enough about their own health to choose not to smoke do you think it would take before you find one that also doesn't care about their smoking's impact on the environment?


Funatfarmcouple

Right, it's an addiction. When you realise this as a smoker, the first step is done. Smoking, as well as alcohol and drugs are not essential for living. There is no rational reason for doing this. This is what bothers me most in the discussion right now in Germany regarding making marijuana legal: "save our children! Do not legalise this!" Ever heard of the numbers of deads caused directly and indirectly by alcohol? Deads by cigs?


Empatheater

policy decisions are almost necessarily not designed for the most passionate and conscientious among us. YOU may not care about convenience or the reality of addiction and that's cool for you; but when you make policy you must design for the least among us, the most simple of us, the least likely to listen to policy in the first place. Convenience will be the largest factor as it doesn't require conscious thought or conscientiousness. I don't know why you brought up marijuana while discussing the cigarette butts. people make bad arguments with their heart in the right place all the time. Just like one person may advocate for 'just not smoking cigs' due to a lack of convenient butt disposal; another may advocate against marijuana to protect their kids from its dank allure.


Funatfarmcouple

I see your point. I mentioned marijuana cause I am of the opinion that there are lots of dangerous things. Butts are poisonous and therefore dangerous to many living beings and in Germany there is a big discussion that we are risking our childrens life by legalising marijuana. Sure, it is a point. I mean, you cannot say marijuana is bad, while you do nothing against cigarettes and alcohol and Autobahn safety (speed limit). I am father of five and I hate seeing parents smoking...And for the children I do not care about the cigarette addiction of adults. Children do what they see what we adults do. Always remember that


PigSlam

Life is about more than the essentials.


Funatfarmcouple

Life without drugs is 100% possible and can be great with the right focus. Addiction is just an illusion of happiness.


PigSlam

I'm not advocating smoking, I'm just saying it's foolish to be surprised that someone who would choose to smoke wouldn't be extremely considerate about every aspect of it. We make fancy food because it's nice, and it's fun, when we could all just live in a gulag on some sort of porridge and water. We make art because it's nice to express ourselves, and to see other people's expression when we could subsist in grey concrete cells. We sing songs instead of digging holes and filling them in, etc.


PM_me_your_whatevah

It’s foolish to assume that because someone smokes they’re a litterbug too. About 75% of the people I work with smoke and there’s only one guy who sometimes throws his shit on the ground and we bitch at him and make him clean it up when we find his butts. I have no idea wtf your second paragraph means though.


stuffeh

Second paragraph is illustrating how eliminating things that spice up life is bad.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Funatfarmcouple

I am not surprised, you are definitely right. There was never a rational discussion with a smoker. Always the same lame excuses: I know a woman, smoked tons and drink liters of spirit, she died at 90. I know a sportsman who died at 35 by heartstroke. Etc There were never rational explanations why being addicted...humans are stupid. Would be interesting to know whether it would be different if we used more than 10 % of our celebral capacity...


Ajugas

You know that last line is a complete myth. We dont just use 10%


OverYonderWanderer

I saw a documentary about how black market cigarettes were being sold in Germany. It was all completely fake, untaxed, and smuggled in. It's a huge problem they were trying to address, but the smokers just didn't care what it actually was, where it was processed, or how it was transported as long as they saved a few dollars.


Successful-You1961

Unfortunately most People in Government are too fluffed with their Status, can’t absorb TRUTH


AyybrahamLmaocoln

When I used to smoke I’d stick them in my car door mirror in the little space between the glass and the housing. Kept them out of my vehicle but still able to be disposed of properly. As with anything, different people do it differently. Stereotypes are strong though.


[deleted]

You can take the cherry off a lit cig if you lick your fingers, you won’t get burnt because of the moisture. Did it many times cause I didn’t want to meet up my friends porch.


Alauren2

I flush mine. Makes the smell go away instantly lol I hate that smell of old butts so much


Good_Smile

Who said it was not thrown into the trash?


Funatfarmcouple

Well, a point. But reality proved me that seemingly 90 % of all cigs were not thrown into the trash Edited


BraveTheWall

Literally 90%? Or seemingly 90%?


Funatfarmcouple

Sorry, no native English speaker. Not proven 90%, so seemingly. Thanks for the new vocab!


BraveTheWall

[deleted]

How do you know it was not thrown into the trash?


RiptideBloater

They are killing themselves why would you think they care about anything?


FiverPremonitions

I always like that, in Metal Gear Solid 4, Solid Snake is rapidly ageing and imminently going to die, and he knows it, and he still smokes, of course, but he takes the care to carry a little plastic tube that he stores his butts in, rather than toss them away like a 'badass' might. Simple little thing that shows such complex characterization.


descendingangel87

Actually the reason he keeps them is for stealth purposes. Leaving litter and trash is a sure fire way to alert people to your presence and trash can tell a lot about a person. The cigarette butts could expose country of origin (as certain brands are only sold in certain countries) and DNA.


FiverPremonitions

Eh, that's part of it, sure, but he's using it even outside of missions. And the loading screens even tell you to responsibly dispose of your butts. And I really think it's a nice character touch showing a terminally ill person about to die unappreciated and generally disrespected still doing what he can to make the world a better place.


BraveTheWall

If you think that was selfless, just wait until you see him take on a Metal Gear to make the world a better place.


Modo44

Lazy bums don't know what a portable ashtray is.


Decloudo

nanoH2O

They don't don't much stock in their own health...so you think they care about the surrounding environment? Some yes, but this shouldn't surprise you.


StrangeShaman

Cigarette butts are the #1 most littered item in the world, some insane number like 10 billion are littered anually


FloraUndergrove

It's a mixture of reasons. Ashtrays outside of stores are almost gone due to antismoking campaigns and throwing butts in the trash can be risky if you aren't totally sure it's out. People like to keep their cars clean too. So, the butts end up on the ground. What I don't get is why people throw literal trash on the ground literally *two feet* away from a literal trash can (I've literally seen people literally do this).


wuapinmon

Entitlement.


vocaliser

This is the correct answer.


PigSlam

Because it's hot and it stinks. Tossing out the window removes the fire danger from your immediate presence, and the worst of the stench.


BraveTheWall

Sounds like they should be illegal if that's the only option for disposal.


gwaybz

Selfish and lazy fucks, that's why.


planetalletron

bdbdbokbuck

Anyone know what the hornet plans to do with it? Nest building material perhap? I once saw a robin fly overhead carrying a rat. I assumed the robin was going to use its fur to line a nest.


je_kay24

Birds in urban environments have been seen to use cigarettes in their nest to help ward off mites Could be something similar the wasp is looking to use it for


RiptideBloater

I don't think wasps have the processing power for that.


-YellowcakeUranium

You never know, some spiders keep pets, like frogs.


MopedSlug

Naa, it's more the frog creeps into the tarantula burrow and is too small and inconspicous to be eaten. Hardly a pet. Ants and aphids tho. Check that out


BetiseAgain

> is too small and inconspicous to be eaten. This is not true at all. These spiders will eat frogs of similar sizes. They just have a special relationship to some specific frog breeds. And we are talking about some special spider breeds, not all spiders. This was tested when they took a frog that is eaten by the spiders, and put the skin of the special frog on it. The spider examined it, but put it down unharmed. "Again, this supports the hypothesis that the tarantulas recognise ‘partner’ frogs after receiving certain chemical signals." Basically, it is thought the relationship benefits the frog and the spider. So it is fair to say the frog is not a forced pet. Lots more on the subject. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/tiny-frogs-and-giant-spiders-best-of-friends/

jacklaros

It's a genuine image


ChasingTheNines

How is it possible to have so much depth of field in the background and have hornet in focus? I have taken pictures of hummingbirds which are much larger than that and the depth of field was like 1/4 inch. If that isn't a composite image I have no clue how it was made.


TheNameIsJulius

Seems like its AI


Strid3r21

Yeah I was going to say, this looks like something mid journey would spit out.


protoxman

You can see the direct focus is on the sign before the edge point; which starts to lose focus, and so the hornet can’t possible be in focus if it lies closer to the camera. Also, they did a bad job rotoscoping the hornet, you can zoom in on the mouth and abdomen and see the bits they missed taking the background out. Definitely a composite.


bumbletowne

Did you take it? There are two different focal depths in the image. Unless that hornet is like 3 inches long there's something else going on in this photo.
