I just learned how to make my own dishwasher using a sprinkler thanks to thinking about saucepans and shoeboxes.https://t.co/lwVpSD8ZTq https://t.co/7hemBpA84E
I may have just invented a self cleaning toilet using a sprinkler.https://t.co/k3YveUPNZH
Please, for the love of god, do not use toilet water to wash your dishes.But... if you leave the urine in the toilet for a while, it turns into ammonia and can be used to clean things.Roman engineering... not even once.https://t.co/InRH7CQ33d
I just realized I can build in a water-proof gopro into the system and turn it into a smart toilet that washes itself and sends pictures of scat to the cloud... for reasonshttps://t.co/hYqBaFhAuC
Reason number 153 for why I need to live on my own:Wanting to set up a datalogging system to capture pictures to train Deep learning model of my feces, and use it to build an automatic urine diverting system for testing of dissolved solids.https://t.co/FLQeGAe3mW
I think I just realized I can use Albert Einstein's "Folgerungen aus den Capillaritätserscheinungen" as a way to guess at the ingredients that make up the urine -> just feed an arrangement of wicks and take photos to gauge how fast they wick.Wish I knew German. https://t.co/y17dE3wW4y
"By developing hardware that uses inexpensive LEGO components as its building blocks, we’ve built an accessible tool that delivers customisable cutting-edge microscopy at a fraction of the cost."https://t.co/nWyAiPJcjqhttps://t.co/lg0cS5N1uS
I can automate the production of vials full of fermented urine samples. It will be art.https://t.co/mkAXDhpvKY
I'm going to go play a video game where I have to collect toilet water and bones to make glue.Apparently you can do this IRL.https://t.co/d337AbhNTS
If you make bone glue using urine in a sauce pan, I highly recommend not eating out of said sauce pan.https://t.co/3ah1tJompDhttps://t.co/Pg7uLLPj1U
Tired: Honey UrineWired: Mead Urine"Running tests on her urine, the team confirmed remarkably high levels of ethanol production, suggesting her strange results were due to yeast fermenting sugar in the bladder."https://t.co/7dGtkglaArNo one looking.https://t.co/QD9EBmQ9z5
@FoodieScience @phylogenomics @mgodoyh @elizabarclay There was a neat finding recently on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Apparently there is a bacteria that can produce alcohol and cause something similar!https://t.co/157YUoufMfWould be fun to find out that the genes behind this effect in bacteria are widespread.
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
In this game, you can ferment corn into grain alcohol, and use it along with some aloe to help with making a med kit.I giggled about how accurate the game was. And then everyone starts learning about making your own DIY hand sanitizer, and I laugh.https://t.co/y01usEVnF9
I want a copper still to make banana alcohol.Now, do I need to go thru and separate out the spirits if I don't intend to drink it? That's the interesting question here. https://t.co/S8rlERMNhd
Wondering about training my gut bacteria to make it so I can drink wine without getting innebreiated by acting as a substitute for substitute for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)https://t.co/XUZXFrei6w https://t.co/bTsihzWlDK
My guess is we would expect to see lower rates of Hangover?https://t.co/UESuUWNWIa
alcohol is a fancy hydrocarbonhttps://t.co/F5mHSKG726
1890s euphemism for sex associated sweat + semen:"The glue-pot has come unstuck"Likely a reference to how glue was made by boiling animal hide in urine and stunk like putrid nastiness. https://t.co/ue2HZGAesJ
NightHawkInLight made a video on how to make lampblack!User 'dustin thewind' writes:"Just found an article that talked about various additives and it pointed out that the urea also allows the glue to stay liquid at room temp... very useful info."https://t.co/6KiGrPyfCh
Apparently the way that lampblack is made is very particular, all the more-so if you're trying to use it to make authentic Chinese fireworks.https://t.co/mfP15S5IaQ
Ancient Chemistry is cool. So much can be made out of burning some cowbones (or lampoil) and boiling hide.https://t.co/JVEMWZuIP7A form of ink used on Ancient Chinese paper was basically exactly that.https://t.co/xCsJJR3BpXWith similar used by Greek, Roman, and Egyptian.
Healing people by testing dick water.https://t.co/SRRTB2MjkY
Talking to my GF I met on OkCupid about how I wanna be able to eat raw crude oil one day.There is hope.https://t.co/tIoXJlF5fH
I'm learning that it is illegal to own gas powered small engines in California? Is that correct?https://t.co/Nsu1tCwlV9
It is significantly harder to manage and control your own electrical mowing apparatus. You can learn to maintain gas lawnmowers over a summer. Electricity production typically links you to the grid and becomes a form of subjugation. https://t.co/J656cSJe9C
I can't confirm, but there is a very good chance that @greenworkstools has a very low decibel rating for their lawn care equipment.https://t.co/pWIWbgUMHpAs some who is autistic and struggles with related sensory processing issues, this is a godsend. https://t.co/ySsmR5D2pR
The answer is to learn to become nomadic.https://t.co/UyCloptrt1
Sheep cut grass for you, and make milk, wool, and fertilizer. They can even pull things! No electricity required, and if they are able to forage on their own they will often eat wild garlic which helps fight methane production.https://t.co/9NodHA0cED
It's fun to read livestock laws. Did you know that feed and drugs for livestock are supposedly untaxable in california according to https://t.co/xt4y0uWWAZThe challenge becomes navigating local municipality regulations around keeping livestock.
The hard part here is that "right to farm" laws may not apply to nomadic shepherds. There may be a way around this if you anchor yourself to a physical farm as a farmhand.https://t.co/9ArYPmaZH6
Learning about gasifiers thanks to @erickandgoat https://t.co/kGWoXmG3Tx
Apparently you can use a still to make your own gasoline-esque material from biowaste?https://t.co/mIYzzoU256
Here's a link he shared for getting a continuous still.https://t.co/c373KouqvMWould be great for making perfume https://t.co/3laHsefZyW https://t.co/u4UwVEzrJE
@CodysLab Should be able to make a still from scratch, if not a complete chem glassware set."The world's first recorded chemist is a woman named Tapputi, a perfume maker whose existence was recorded on a 1200 BCE Cuneiform tablet in Babylonian Mesopotamia."https://t.co/RtxEGj1erO
Might fuck around and find out.https://t.co/znA7eousHl
Looks like you can make a gas-like fuel out of mead! https://t.co/yy4jt5kRzOI wanna make mead already, so this is fun.
Yeah! Illegal gasoline powered engines powered by moonshine. Thats cool sounding.https://t.co/XB4oZDfzX8
I have some content on alcohol production because it's useful for so many things besides getting inebriated.Just created a subproject for Honey Winehttps://t.co/iKClxZNnlZ
Something that keeps popping up in my fertility health research is how often honey is used to enhance reproduction. Once I've got some ways to test semen at home, it might be worth while to get some basic mead going to see what happens.
Of course if you're just using it for fuel and plan on stilling it, then it won't matter as much about health topics.Gets pretty ridiculous at scale https://t.co/80Zxye0qVO
And hey, if you mess up, can always turn it into vinegar https://t.co/cHoizm6POu
I have everything I need to turn toilet paper into alcohol except a space to do it.https://t.co/HDvu9dvxyw
Shitposting on bluesky about how to run cows (and sheep?) off of literal crude oil thanks to @DougDougFood and a cool scientist who is using genetically engineered gut bacteria to make cows fart less. https://t.co/NXdrw3JR1m
If I can distill trees into wood alcohol, do you think I can drink it and not go blind if I had the right kind of gut bacteria in me?https://t.co/DDFEtFZ3e4
I've been experimenting lately to see if I can harbor acetate making microbes in my gut. Neutralizing small amounts of alcohol & turning it into acetate & eventually butryate should super-power my gut health. Butryate producers need lactate as well. https://t.co/cNUkQscgWg
Do not drink crude oil. It is toxic and unsafe.https://t.co/f765lMrWRJ
Do not make fermented alchohols out of horse feed.https://t.co/Z4M3IpWjJ3
I've... found something amazing. Why even use a saurcepan! https://t.co/7MBwNDuR5a
I found the vod.https://t.co/b1AeVJPED1
I wonder if this puts uneven pressure on the glass as the fats cools locally. Roommate broke a glass top like this and it was cheaper to buy an entire new range than replace it.https://t.co/j4552s8O5w
