If you can make rum from the casting of an elephants partially digested fruit matter. https://t.co/SR2toS6CDKDoesn't that mean that you can make rum from the waste of any carnivore's half digested scat?

BlueBEARy wine tho."Blueberry droppings usually include a lot of whole berries that were not soft and ripe enough to be broken up in the bear's muscluar stomach."https://t.co/8oz8NoMCRQ

So diploendozoochory suggests that one method of action for seed dispersal is to get vegetarian's drunk, so that they are eating by predators with a much higher range of dispersal.Birds that don't fly south are more likely to eat fermenting berries and be consumed by predators.

I wonder if anyone digs up ant hills and uses their frass / refuse piles to make strange fermented foods.Also, apparently stressed out maned wolf poop is full of Glucocorticoids and Thyroid hormones. Might change the quality of their resulting wines.https://t.co/UB15FBZbmi

We already do this as a species. one of the fun things about fermenting stuff into a wine is that it tends to kill a lot of the bacteria that is harmful to humans. Don't try this at home.https://t.co/Hpg8aU7lYw

Fascinating. Changing microbiome can trigger autoimmune disease?"Autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, idiopathic thrombocyto-penic purpura, and peripheral neuropathy) developed in 4 of the 77 patients"https://t.co/2ZWugAF007ala https://t.co/N0jNYwY3ev

Insert the discussion around "eating clean", but taking that same reasoning about wine made from feces and the nature of boiling eggs in unadulterated urine.We are absurd.https://t.co/JEPWDTNmjw

@__a__chimera__ I ask myself, "Why would that guy seem to assume 'drinking grandson's pee really helps' like it was obvious, and that it would be dumb to drink non 'clean' pee?"Maybe Nitric oxide & urease associated bacterial effects prevent damage and oxidative stress?https://t.co/3xv4UKgs7z

Sometimes my brain makes connections between things that should exist.https://t.co/BCq6ITkvPi

I don't like these ideas.https://t.co/4WcNNndE2m

I wonder how all of this stuff works because I'd really prefer to invent a way to do this without drinking piss.https://t.co/ubyZBgk0Xe

Oh. Sad :("However, some patients declined interview or were unable to participate due to cognitive impairment, lack of interest or death. The majority of participants were 65 or older, living independently, and retired when interviewed (Table 1)."https://t.co/WGDAyG9mTd

Translation: young mothers get paid for their children's poop so people can make wine from it?Am I reading between the lines correctly here? https://t.co/o0cpN8drFT


Whats ethically mind boggling is that if we assume this feces is a donation, that means that selling fecal wine is an entirely exploitative practice.The only ethically responsible feces wine is free?<insert capitalism meme about efficient market hypothesis>

Gallons of urine, garunteed pure, procured for free, turned and sold as pharmaceutical remedy? Not as unlikely as you'd expect.https://t.co/ulrQBm2eLT> "Like I was buying heroin," says the 40-year-old woman, who has been having trouble getting pregnant.https://t.co/ajGYthlTlq

If diabetic wiz taste like honey, why not make it into a mead?Turning it into whiskey is just silly."Once fermented [...] whisky blends are added to give colour, taste and viscosity, and the product is bottled with the name and age of the contributor."https://t.co/DijCr6Qgm2

I want to diabetic testing kits that involves fermenting their pee and using a hydrometer + some machine learning to guess at their approximate blood sugar levels over sampling period.DIY insulin testing needs to exist alongside DIY insulin.Inspired:https://t.co/gbeDeLCwWX

Tired: being a urine taste tester during the middle ages to diagnose kingly ailments.Wired: using fermentation and basic physics as a proxy for health metric monitoringhttps://t.co/djRmX8i0Cw

Huh, thinking about it a bit, I may be able to test this on myself sometime in the next year or two.https://t.co/Prcy8hX47V

Hello, Town of [redacted], Yes. Hi.I'm an autistic indepenant researcher trying to show humans can hibernate. Yes. I know. Well, I'm calling to ask about getting permission to store pee in large quantities. I promise I wont be using it to make gun powder. https://t.co/bbAjIVjsQh

Do you think pateon would be alright with having one of my reward teirs be "access to a sample of fermented urine as a memento"?DIY Science funding is challenging.https://t.co/WycRRdXhog

This entire thread is a way for me to make jokes about animal poop and weird human behavior. I am sublimating ( https://t.co/camTrfmwXS ) basically a 4 hour long anxiety attack as I work on packing my things.

This is the correct response to learning that wine made with the feces/microbiota of a young growing boy can improve bone growth. https://t.co/EFEOPHbiZ5


Does anybody at NASA study the microbiome?https://t.co/fWsKxC604A

Do a twin study but not control for space food?🤪"could be due to the food he consumed while on the space station (mainly freeze-dried or thermo-stabilized prepackaged food) although other space-specific environmental factors may have also contributed. "https://t.co/u8KT9ycpEO

"Diet logs (obtained via data sharing) are completed in association with fecal swab collections."https://t.co/owSrJPakmRand the DOI links don't actually work, so I can't verify. WTF.

According to this, astronauts can't drink alcohol because their water filters can't handle it. If so, what happens if your gut micorbiota produce alcohol internally? Would that ruin it too?https://t.co/t96Qlo5qP6

Candy is dandy, but this liquor ichor is quicker.https://t.co/Ldon9kjCWc

"(1.5kg) of fresh manure from a healthy and recently dewormed donor horse. We mix it with water and filter off the solid particulate material. [yields] "liquor." We then pump the fresh liquor through a stomach tube into the recipient horse's stomach."https://t.co/4cvHAzHdRU
