How they used to get rid of motor oil back in the day.

I mean... the wisdom not really incorrect - the oil would soak into the ground. In this era people just piled up garbage in their back yard and burned it. Obviously this isn't an appropriate way to dispose of things in 2024.

I love how nowadays they made it illegal to wash your car out on the street because it pollutes the ground.

Like motherfucker where do you think this dirt goes to when it falls off the car while driving?

They should outlaw cars to fix this.
