TIL you produce about three and a half metric tons of feces and 38 000 liters of urine during an average lifetime.

  • 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

  • That's why you compost it before use. Its own heat kills those pathogens with time.

  • No we don't. Need is different from want.

    We don't need more rare minerals any more than you need tar sands industry.

  • If it fails to pass, dont give up. You should at least be able to ban goods from settlements, which are illegal under international law (and many countries have passed these laws successfully).

    • Hegseth orders Navy to rename ship honoring gay rights activist Harvey Milk

    Jump

  • That sounds like good news. I'm confused.

    Edit: the ship is already named after Milk. Hegseth wants to give it a different name

    Article title makes it sound like he wanted to rename a ship to Milk to celebrate the activist. Apparently that already happened in 2016 (cool!) and he wants to get rid of the name (boo!)
