Hobo

Is this a thing?

I was more confused about “a neet” tbh. Looked it up on Urban Dictionary and wow. LOTS of ableism and reinforcement of toxic Calvinism 😬

hobomaxxing
For me, this conjures a completely different mental image: people in the park chest pressing cinderblocks and using milk-crates full of bricks as improvised kettle-bells.
PSA: Seriously though, the calorie demands on the human body are too high to stay healthy when that impoverished, let alone do useless exercise. OP may or may not be homeless, but do consider helping folks where you can so people don’t have to dumpster-dive to keep going. Thank you.

“Hobomaxxing” made me think about some pictures I saw of an abandoned caboose or boxcars somewhere. The guy that took them said he lived in it for a few weeks. We were surprised, then he said that he actually makes decent money, but for a few weeks each year he likes to go live like a hobo.

That sounds like a great way to appreciate what you have

Did he steal his hat?

Dumpster diving and accepting handouts with grace are both skills anyone can have. They allow many to survive around the world and share such wisdoms.
samus12345@lemmy.world 9 months ago
The problem with dumpster diving is if the person isn’t skilled enough at determining what’s safe to eat or not. Or if they’re inconsiderate and leave a mess after doing it.

Or if there’s broken glass or needles

when I worked at a grocery store (massive chain, who were horrible to their workers) I’d steal a lot of the food they would throw out at the end of the night. even if I myself couldn’t use it I always knew someone who could.

Can barely call that stealing. There should be a milder term for it.

Like eating all that delicious dumpster food large chains throw away daily.

Nah, under proper communism, disabled people are allowed to live. It’s not everyone works.
MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 9 months ago
As opposed to food chains throwing away perfectly good food?

One of the things I hated the most about working as a dishwasher was throwing out perfectly good food at the end of the night

I worked for Dominos for a bit, mostly driving, but a bit in the kitchen too. Minimum wage, and not enough hours, but I was living at my mum’s house, she didn’t demand much money from me and my needs were few, so it was a nice gig. Driving around in the evening, listening to the radio. Not bad.
When I started there, if an order got fucked up it’d get put out the back so everyone could grab a slice if they wanted. Not a bad perk in a min-wage job.
Then the boss decided that we were fucking them up on purpose to get free pizza, so demanded they get thrown in the bin.
I found another job because of that. Almost never go to Dominos for pizza now. Too fucking pricey, and nowhere near good enough to justify it.

So much waste in kitchens.
“We can’t give it away because it’s stealing”
“We can’t give it away because of liability”
Hated it too. Feels wrong.

Whenever I’d take out the trash I just needed the manager to disable the fire alarm on the back door. They’d wait inside while I hauled bags back to the dumpster.
Except when we were cleaning out the hot box. Then the manager came out with me and watched me dump all the food. So he could make sure it all was wasted.
Luckily most of the managers also let any staff there after closing fix up a plate of the food that was still good but wouldn’t survive the night. Except one asshole who insisted it was stealing.
Stealing food they were going to throw away. What a clown world.
samus12345@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Once something has been thrown out as trash in a public space, it’s legal for someone else to take and isn’t a liability. A place that actually gave a shit would have a separate trash container for things that are still safe to eat.

I lived on the street briefly and I ate like a king out of an Au Bon Pain dumpster. It was filled with fresh caesar salads and pastries every night.
Eventually they started putting a lock on the dumpster though.
Dark_Dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
That’s cruel locking the dumpster. They already dumped it out. They didn’t have to lock it too.
stringere@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
all through your shift, too so much waste
