It would also violate the Geneva Convention on the use of Biological Weapons. As hilarious as fridge-a-pults are, you don't want to get into serious trouble with them (beyond flinging fridges indiscriminately).

Like 51% sure those wouldn't actually apply to a civilian use without political or military intent. Some critter chucks a disease ridden rotbox over a prison wall on a lark and the geneva convention just kinda' looks at 'em and goes, "Not my problem."

... mind, if there's not some sort of state/federal level law it would violate it would only be because no one's been drunk enough to try it, yet, but it'd probably pass GCon muster. Might even manage to not even register as worse than relatively minor misdemeanor, so long as the fridge didn't land on someone or break anything besides itself.

Sidewalks don't deserve that treatment, that's why.

... also the only places nearby with walls worth mention (nearby prisons) also have people with guns in them that would likely not be terribly amused.

Though managing to launch a diseased fridge over a prison wall and get away with it does strike me as an interesting logistical challenge. Have to source and construct whatever sort of siege engine you're intending to use without being noticed or using materials and/or transport that can be tracked. Probably wouldn't be an easy thing to manage, though part of me is now imagining a hillbilly trebuchet technical.

For what it's worth, I'm about 70% sure whatever makes it criminal where you are doesn't exist in north florida, mart, heh. Or if it does, it's unenforced out in the boonies to the point it might as well not. If it emitted toxic fumes, I don't think anyone would notice until they killed someone, and might not even then.

There's ways to deal with stuff like that, but by and large the proper way is either get in touch with the garbage folks and see what the hell they do with 'em (and cross fingers, hoping their answer isn't, "Look, just go find some woods to dump it in and stop bothering us."), or haul it off to the nearest garbage dump... which is about an hour off, as far as I'm aware. Recycling center closer, but I honestly don't want to inflict that thing on the people that work there.

Current intent right now is wait until the morning and see if I can get in touch with the closest public waste management facilities, see if they can offer advice even if I'm from a different county. _{as near as I can tell/recall there isn't a waste management facility in the one I'm in. Iirc the garbage folks haul stuff off to a different one to get rid of junk.}

@ smj: Less than not at least, heh. But yeah, it's way younger than the atmo bans.

@ MSH: We could totally transport the thing, actually. It would just fucking ruin whatever was used to move it, and quite possibly flap detritus into the wind as we went down the highway. It's bad enough the suffering that could cause to people behind me isn't even conceptually amusing.

... though yeah, someone trying to put that thing into an actual car my family owns would lead to me committing violence upon them. Not that anything smaller than an SUV or whatev' could fit it.

I would google it but frankly I'm terrified google will give m a description or pictures, and my life would be immensely improved by not witnessing either

That was my first thought, actually. Google is surprisingly unhelpful about what to do with a fridge what insides are encrusted in maggot. Like, there's stuff on what to do if the power died while on vacation and you come back to a week or two's worth of thaw? Plenty of that, but that I already knew how to deal with and have dealt with before. Shit's nasty, but it's easy modo nasty shit in comparison and I couldn't find the right combination of keywords for google-sensei to teach me about 1-life hard mode fridge cleaning.

Didn't think about the whole coolant thing, though. Kinda' assumed anything that might have been in there like that was gone, I think. Explosion could have been bad, heh. On one hand, the specific property might be improved by burning to the ground... good bit of the neighborhood, really.* On the other hand, some of my family are the property's neighbors and I don't dislike them nearly enough for accidental (or "accidental") immolation.

Will see about checking with the nearest hazardous waste handlers, methinks. The CDC website was annoyingly hard to get something useful to pop out. It's almost like someone failing to empty a fridge when it breaks down, and then leaving it in florida heat (inside and outside, iirc) for, like. A month and change. Isn't terribly common.

* And not haha joke funny, I'm talking literally improved value if the building on the land was gone :V

Sweet bloody fuck.

Family mentioned wanting some help cleaning out a fridge a former renter had left behind. Spoke like it was a matter of just shifting the thing around, taking a water hose and some bleach to it. Bit of effort but no trouble save for florida heat. When asked, mentioned they hadn't looked inside it yet, but still, talked like it wasn't that big of a deal.

I just went and looked inside of it. God. Fucking. Damn.

I'm pretty sure that is actually the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in person, and there has been some nasty shit encountered in my lifetime. There are bags of something I didn't keep the door open long enough to identify in there. Basically the walls, the door, every available surface inside that fucking thing is covered in maggots and maggot gunk. The inside of that fucking fridge is brown and moving. I'm not going to talk about the smell. I opened that thing, looked for about three seconds and then noped the fuck out, and despite that from the smell alone I'm pretty sure the safest thing to do with that fridge is set it on fire right where it stands.

Bloody goddamn hell. It would appear some monumental fucking idiot decided it was a good idea to stick a fridge still full of shit outside in florida weather, for, like, goddamn weeks. I'm literally wondering if I need to call the CDC or something right now, because holy shit that is a biohazard like goddamn.

No, family member, I love you and I owe you a lot and you're family but fuck this with a cactus. I'll get on that just as soon as we can recruit someone more experienced with cleaning than either of us to help with this thing. Preferably they have medical training of some sort, too. Something clear on how to handle hazardous waste disposal. Because that shit ain't at the level of just cleaning out a bloody fridge.

Huh. Undead corpse babies, eh dream brain? Anklebiter is not supposed to be that literal, that capable of flight, possessing that degree of hanging entrails and broken infant limbs, and involve that much blood, bits of hurtling legflesh, and jesus fuck screeching.

Dead babies on the other side of a room are not supposed to make that noise and then start chewing on your precious feetbones. Looks like I'm waking up at half past three in the morning, today ;_;

Worst part is it wasn't even a friggin' nightmare or somethin'. Just dream documentary suddenly deciding to charge head first into holy shit maybe we don't do exposé on the hungry dead what the fuuuuuck territory.

Darkest Dungeon's pretty nice, so... I guess? Not sure I'd buy it at ten (i be po', takes lower than that to get me to spend money these days, usually), but I would definitely say it's worth that much. There's apparently some modding and whatnot potential to it, though, so the PC version is probably the one you'd rather have, everything else being equal.

E: Or to put it a different way, I doubt you'd regret it at that price, unless there's something hellaciously wrong with the port. You just might not regret it harder with the PC version.

Also there's like a metric vulgarity ton or two of gameplay vids floating around. If you're unsure, check 'em out.

Hey, if we're going to talk about one of history's primary causes of sectarian conflict, it's thematically (if nothing else) appropriate to have multiple threads :V
