Home and Auto Protocol: Throwing an apple core out your car window. - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 09-30-2016, 11:09 PM

I was driving in a very rural area today, and I enjoyed a nice crisp apple while I drove.

Now, the challenge with apples and driving is that you eventually end up with an apple core, which most people don't eat. So I'm driving, and I think that I should throw the apple core out the window. It's 100 percent biodegradable, right?

But I couldn't do it. I'm so trained to not throw trash out the window that I couldn't do it. It wasn't even a fear of public shaming if someone saw and misunderstood; it was pure habit and training. I feel like it's actually probably more environmentally responsible to throw it out the window rather than putting it in a trash can and transporting it to a landfill. But I still couldn't do it.

What's your opinion on throwing apple cores out car windows?

I'm not sure whether the prefix here should be "Home and Auto" or "Food and Drink", so I hope it doesn't confuse anyone.

You hope you're a passenger in the car and you get a chance to whip that sucker at a sign doing 50 mph.

Oh, we weren't talking about beer bottles were we?

Throw the apple core. Return it to the earth.

So far, it appears that roughly 90 percent would take no issue with a thrown apple core, with some caveats that it's not thrown into a yard or a city street. However, there may be legal risk in throwing the apple, and the benefits to wildlife might be offset by luring them into traffic. It appears that there's no downside environmentally in anyone's mind, and there's an entertainment benefit in trying to hit something with it.

My brother just totaled his car last week by a deer.

This summer I killed Bambi with my Tahoe but what I think is even more a nuisance are Armo****ingdilloes. I thought I would clear one but nope ****er jumped up and I had to replace my coolant reservoir. I bet what happened was some asshole through out an apple core out the window and it gathered bugs and the armo****ingdillo got into the middle of the road.

Thanks a lot asshole for throwing out an apple core.

**Rain Man** · 10-01-2016, 08:38 PM

I walked home from the mall today through a residential neighborhood, and I saw an apple core lying against the curb.

If I threw a banana peel out, it would be both fascinating and horrifying if you ended up hitting a chimpanzee or gorilla.

I wing apple cores right out the window. Bonus it attracts cute little furry critters out to the road where they become road pizzas for scavengers

and yes, you are going to hell for not simply chucking it while driving. had you been pulled over, you could have been easily killed for mistaken apple/gun.

Any weed worth having ain't producing seeds bro. You need to quit smoking that Australian dirt weed.

**alpha_omega** · 10-01-2016, 09:51 PM

Wouldn't be eating and driving.

i know dood

i just want to keep all the popo's busy while the good stuff is being produced

I eat the entire apple at the times the GF slices it up for me. Otherwise I won't eat the core part.

Feel a little twinge about it, then I imagine the woodland creatures feasting on my apple remains, so I'll go ahead and toss it out anyway.

I throw tons of shit out the window in rural areas. Biodegradable or not. Never in a city though. But I text when I drive and dont care about the environment at all either

You're a real ****ing asshole.

Why not in a city where there are people paid to clean that shit up, but do it in the country where most people actually care about their land and are stuck cleaning up after you.

You're scared to be seen doing it.

****ing asshole

Yeah. Because I might get a fine for littering. Plus, trash in a city is more of an eyesore than some soda can sitting in a grassy ditch in the middle of nowhere BFE. I also do not care about seals and if they do not like swimming among plastic trash bags or not.

Oh yeah, I also mount my phone to my windshield and watch movies during long trips. Its absolutely fantastic and makes the trip go so much smoother.

Kudos to Verizon for providing wonderful streaming Internet on any interstate or major highways
