      Whether they “look bad” depends on how you feel about flushing grandma.

      I have a small, 3" urn of my mom’s ashes, and ten years later when I was offered the same for my dad, I declined. It doesn’t mean anything to me, and at the time, I had actually misplaced mom’s urn.

      Slava Ukraini!

      The Cuck Pit lives on.

      In case anyone is wondering and was confused by the total lack of context in the DDG search, this is a meme reference to the Barbara Pit Massacre, a mass execution of POWs from yugoslavian nazi puppet militaries (NDH and SD) which unfortunately (but predictably, as with any mass killing) killed quite a few civilians as well. Their bodies were dumped in a mine, including many that were buried alive, the mine was sealed off and the event and the mine was forbidden to discuss until the ~90s.

        Looks like the search shows up differently - here it links to the Kočevski Rog massacre. Regarding Barbara Pit - I don’t know details about the civilians mentioned, whether they were fascist-collaborators or innocent - in the latter case, yes, it’s not just unfortunate but also tragic.

          Rather a sad thought that there’s been enough pit massacres to be able to get them confused. And my apologies, I thought DDG didn’t do personalized results - wonder why it’s not showing up when I search it. For whatever reason, all I get are news articles about the recent FlyDubai plane stabbing

        Here in Sweden you can’t keep human ashes. It’s illegal. I’d imagine flushing them would be a problem too.

                I think combining the remains with faeces is probably illegal, because you aren’t allowed to debase them.

            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 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.

      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.

          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.

        My grandmother was a life-long Republican and I’m confident she’d have voted Republican in 2016 out of habit, if she were both alive and not drowning in dementia. She’d have turned against him by 2020 even with the dementia—Trump is just too gross as a person for her to stand.

        Anyways, she died early 2016 and all I have from her is an elderly pup who’s snoring next to me. He’s great. He’s never voted for Trump.

        This is about 2016 Trump, though. At the time one could have still denied the allegations.

        My main point is that flushing the remains of a dead person down the toilet is morally wrong. People have the right to mourn and we know too few things about this person, to say that her remains deserve to be flushed down the toilet because she told someone she voted for Trump in 2016.

          She was a conservative. A conservative is pure evil. That’s why she voted for pure evil. He ran on pure evil promises and bragged about being pure evil. That’s why conservatives have chosen him repeatedly as their most perfect representative for the last 10 years. Because conservatives are genuinely, deeply, truly evil.

          Conservatives are not joking about their bigotry or their celebrations of violence. They actually are the evil monsters they claim to be. Believe them when they’ve told you who they are for the past decade.

        Yup. My grandmother was a life long, hardcore Catholic, even earning an award for her service to the church.

        When the last Pope condemned Trump’s border wall during his first presidency, my grandmother’s reaction was, “the Pope needs to mind his own business.”

        Which isn’t a surprise considering she’s where I learned the version of the N-word that starts with a J. I’m glad she died before Trump’s second term.

      Wrong. Every conservative supports Trump’s policies. They are only upset about gas prices. That’s it. Nothing else.

      Conservatives hold both chambers of congress and have easily been able to stop him anytime in the last 2 years with that power. They’ve ALL chosen to support him or remain completely silent. ALL conservatives are doing this.

      Trump is the perfect reflection of ALL conservatives. There are no exceptions. Not. Even. One.

        Human ashes are not a fertilizer looked this up years ago, when I was obsessed with finding the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of human bodies. Something to do with with the balance of nutrients, as well as the salt and ph levels I think makes it toxic to plants. I’m pretty sure that’s right but I know its toxic pretty sure its a mixture of those things.

          Depends on dosage. I thought if scattered reasonably it was just not overly effective but ultimately not really a problem either. Crematorium gardens seem alright so I doubt the ashes can be overly toxic.

          So perfectly safe to flush, your sewage is not going straight into the environment. It’s either treated or held in a septic tank and disposed of after it’s emptied.

          Sure some stuff may get out of either system, but the dose makes the poison as they say.

          I wouldn’t plant tomatoes in a mix of compost and human ashes, but if I scattered it across a whole field of tomatoes there would be no impact.
