Because the quality of compost that human bodies make isn't the main topic covered. The first video is a general discussion on human composting, as well as a bit of an interview of Katrina Spade, and a walkthrough of the process. The second video is a discussion/update on where human composting as an alternative way to dispose of bodies currently is in terms of legality in the U.S.
I shared the videos because Caitlin Doughty is a fun person, and the work she does is important and a lot of her videos are very interesting. I shared the videos because I thought that others might benefit also.
It's worth noting that Caitlin Doughty is a certified mortician, and the person she's interviewing, Katrina Spade, is the driving force behind that particular human composting facility. They both, together with a slew of other people, have campaigned to make human composting legal in New York and California.
So it's not some weird troll BS, these are professionals discussing their work, which at least for Katrina is human composting, and Caitlin, dead bodies in general.
Then in a year or so you can use the resulting high quality soil for your garden!
Humans don't really compost down into anything better or worse than any other animal. Caitlin Doughty has a few videos on the subject. Honestly it looks pretty comfy, I wouldn't mind getting composted.
The difference might be in primates in captivity learning from humans using tools around them all day every day. Primate see primate do trial and error.
I don't get it. I highly doubt zookeepers tend to pick medicinal plants from the habitats in lieu of popping a painkiller. Otherwise how would using a shovel teach a monkey to use plants to treat a scratch for example?
It sounds a lot more scandalous than it was, but yeah. I found this photo. As you can see, you can't really see the dude's body, but you can see the details of box underneath his shirt.
Honestly, a UV camera/filter for the front camera would be useful for things like applying sunscreen. I've contemplated making a smart mirror with that type of functionality.
Would that I could, I'd trade years of my life to get some extra years for my dog. It's insane to think he's a third of the way through his lifespan already.
This year in particular has been frustrating when it comes to snow. I live pretty far south, about two hours south of Stockholm, and we've had snow for like half of April. It all melted at the end of March, there were spring flowers, and then we had a shit tonne of snow again, which melted, followed by more snow. So many false starts. 😩
It's been snow free for a week now, I hope it holds.
I've heard that MA is a pretty solid place overall. To be fair I loved my stay, but I think the main reason for that was meeting up with a very close friend of mine. I recall this crossing in particular leaving me rather exasperated.
It seems like they've since paved over it, however. It is a bit baffling to me that it looks the same in 2012 as it did to me in 2019.
The billionaire grifter well known for lying and making money off of his lies, is against misinformation laws? Wow I am so surprised. He always struck me as a stand-up, honourable kind of chap.
