What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

My $ is that it’s been someone in the last 30 years who is a big eater with an opiate habit.
They suspected. They couldn't confirm it.
``Doesn't seem fair if you count diarrhea. All that water weight.
If so, it's probably someone with cholera
I am currently in process. Haven't stopped pooping for 17 years.
That's probably why the YMCA won't let you in.
You should see a doctor for that
The doctors made me this way I'm not sure what they're gonna do to help
You load 3.5 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in shit
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
My toilet over-flows on the company floor
Rookie numbers
How much cum?
OP is full of shit.
Pffffft...
Those are rookie numbers
I can do that in a year when my IBS is flaring up
Fisting with IBS, hey?
I thought cooking bacon naked was playing dangerous games.
That escalated fist.

Where does that all go?!?
Double that for me.
3 and a half metric shit tons.
I feel like I'm trending in line to make at least like 6 metric tons of shit. 3.5 seems low.
People who say we need petro chemicals for modern agriculture need to understand this
The problem is that human feces carries a lot of human pathogens.
That's why you compost it before use. Its own heat kills those pathogens with time.
I think North Korea does this with less than optimal results.
In don't think North Korea does anything optimally lol
If everyone would be diligent to compost it correctly, it would work. You couldn't ensure that on a large scale.
If it was State run, of course you could.
You're probably right. I don't think the state would take it on, though. One mistake, and you have deadly consequences and people suing for justice.
You realize every other time it rains in NYC, they dump raw sewage into the ocean and there's an uptick in people who get sick (swimmers) as a result?
Almost every major city in the US has this problem.
So I must disagree. I don't think it would be worse than our current situation.
Also, we currently fertilize food crops with cow manure, which also carries pathogens. These pathogens could be also eliminated by composting too, but I don't think anyone does this. This is usually the cause of e-coli and salmonia outbreaks in the US.
What I'm proposing is safer than the status quo

So, what you're saying, is that they don't understand shit.

Sandman slim taught me that you can shit on a tarp for a year, dry it in the sun, and all that shit will fit in a shoebox at the end of the year.
Nah, you're supposed to shit in a bottle and cover it with a balloon and leave it in the sun until the balloon is inflated and then inhale.
