A machine that eats poop!https://t.co/yFwOdwUYnU
@MarkProffitt I was looking up Black Soldier Flys and apparently you can just give them the junk from a composting toilet and they'll turn it into food for chickens. Its fascinating. Got me thinking to make a self contained fly bio-reactor for poop, that outputs edible maggots.
And a mechanically separating composting toilet for the public.https://t.co/BJQnM3Nexo
@MicrobiomDigest @PopSci Every composting toilet I've seen diverts the urine away from the fecal chamber. Blows my mind to think that the ones that guy found in the states didn't actually do that.Been reading about using black soldier fly to do something similar. Apparently they kill pathogens better.
And building a market for human waste.https://t.co/s0hJ7bkLEJ
And figuring out how to scale it.https://t.co/jvPJJfKBYV
OH> "sludge farmer" sounds like a good cyberpunk professionOH> the reason farmers have to be careful of heavy metals, is that lead that sloughs from pipes accumulates in this sludge tooChelation of human waste to to remove lead from bad pipes.https://t.co/OcoiI4klM8
"In this study, the potential of peanut shells for antibiotic removal from aqueous solutions was investigated for four antibiotics "https://t.co/qyfDfhWXwZMaybe we'll live?https://t.co/VXK5EBSXzv
"the use of green plants and the associated microorganisms, along with proper soil amendments and agronomic techniques to either contain, remove or render toxic environmental contaminants harmless" https://t.co/RUkkhJczXh
"Lead, when it's in soil, binds really really tightly to soil particles. [...] so once lead is in the soil, it mostly stays there."https://t.co/5yWmkpu8Rf
Can't be good:To lower the nutrients in the soil at the same time as widespread infiltration of antibiotics seeping into aquifers. https://t.co/6NL18xysNJ
Sulfamethoxazole (an antibacterial contamination from human feces) reduces Pseudomonnas Stutzerihttps://t.co/GJejDF8EhZ
Probably not great that we're getting rid of Pseudomonas stutzeri, since it's been known as one of the nitrogen fixation bacteria since before I was born.https://t.co/bAss70uyML
"Sewage sludge regularly tests positive for a host of heavy metals, flame retardants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, phthalates, dioxins, and a host of other chemicals and organisms."https://t.co/JLrwziw8ts
Recycling Ideashttps://t.co/h8erql2tZv
We're all just pawns of large scale recycling ideology?"Now much of that trash is flowing to Southeast Asian countries. Once there, unrecyclable imports often end up abandoned in nature or burned illegally, which releases toxic chemicals into the air"https://t.co/LhUEvEYQfO
A pattern language, but for toilets;as a grass roots exploration of pure ideology.https://t.co/pOqn5cJxPr
I know how to build composting toilets.https://t.co/lbGBV4ylMmThe problem isn't the engineering... its the underlying social architecture that controls how we shit.https://t.co/77rgcNWhHv
Good talk on the social issues and trust dynamics of running decentralized networks for storage, and the nature (and challenge) of community driven networks. Particularly stuff you don't end up running into under centralized Saas services. https://t.co/bAKZbZgFdJ
This shit's greek to me.https://t.co/47jlefcclM
Family guy nails it.https://t.co/zDchHoMzaE
Have you tried inventing a self cleaning toilet?https://t.co/3rWjnROWCW
I found a bacteria that eats rocks. Was thinking about what it would take to make them compatible with the human digestion system. As one does. All this really has given me is a better understanding of how to clean my toilet. https://t.co/c7D473RTWh https://t.co/TssNdDE4IK
Something something idiocracy is a political commentary, but everyone misses the point because they think it's about breeding norms and IQ.https://t.co/FACl5fe8Uf
