Holy crap literally poop bags

Ha I was just going to post Mr. Zombie

One of the best musicians out there

What I like to do is pretend to pick it up. It really saves on bags!

Dog just sniffed the box. He looks undecided about them. I wonder if its the China stench? We do our best to avoid made in China and no dog toys, treats or dog foods are allowed from China in my home.

I agree. Buy nothing made in China when it comes to putting things inside your body like food especially.

I don't trust those Chinese for nothing.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

China appears to be incapable of inspecting food. Especially pet food there have been two examples of Chinese jerky containing arsenic. I think some of the ingredients were transported in containers that recently held arsenic.

Yep, there are a lot of things that are biodegradable that sit in a landfill for a long ass time for that reason.

I'd be careful of anything that claims to be flushable unless you plan on an expensive visit from a plumber.

I tested a few bags in water and they broke apart, so I'm happy enough.

Also, my toilets can handle my shit, they can handle some bags.

You know, I've been saying this forever. Make it happen!

...technically, can't we do that with nuclear waste, as well? That shouldn't really do anything to the sun, right?

The Sun? No, it won't care. You could plunge Earth into the Sun and it wouldn't have much effect.


The cost would be enormous though. I think it's something like $10k/lb to get something into LEO. Getting it to the Sun would be quite a bit more expensive. 1) Escape from Earth's gravity, 2) Reduce orbital velocity around the Sun in order to fall towards it. Getting there isn't as easy as you might expect.
Edit: Number was off, but it's still thousands of dollars per pound. SpaceX might push it to sub-$1k/lb levels for LEO.


Nuclear waste: If GenIV reactors ever see the light of day, they could use up some of that waste as fuel. (Or if we'd pull our heads out of our asses and reprocess the damn stuff like most other users of nuclear power, that would help.)

You know what I don't like about you engineers? Always shitting on my dreams.


On second thought, you did give me a great idea about what to do with this pesky earth problem. :hmm:

what if they break apart in your hand? 😱

See that? Totally useful.
Or else send the planet to Jupiter and become a new moon. Get a nice, close orbit and use tidal forces to keep kneading the mantle to maintain it as a pleasantly warm goo. Mobile devices will charge wirelessly as Earth moves through Jupiter's powerful magnetic field. The immense radiation belts will deliver healing radiation treatment to cancer patients, whether they want it or not.


But yeah...getting into space kind of sucks. Hopping up into LEO sometimes seems like a flying fish: <Leap> "Look at me, I'm up in the air, flying! I'm so awesome" <splash>
Tepid applause ensues.

Just our luck, we get the densest planet in the Solar System, and all the gravity that goes with it. (Though Mercury is pretty close behind, as it is also loaded with iron.)

Why aren't plastic cups, lids and stirrers made from this stuff?

Why isn't fishing line made of that stuff?

Why don't they make an airplane out of that "black box?"

 

[John Connor]

I was on a job a few years ago, and it was on the site of an old landfill. They were pulling up newspaper from WWII that was still readable. That landfill wasn't nearly as good as a modern site. I'd expect anything that goes in the ground today will last virtually forever.

I can believe it. Was at an old abandoned house and I seen a paper with the freaking Mercury Astronauts!

Space X should launch trash / shit into the sun.

landfills on earth are too damn full !!

Earth + plastic my friend. LOL



I was a firefighter explorer and was at a nuclear transportation exercise. This was back when the feds were going to ship spent rods to Yucca. Well, this large, white cask that holds the nuclear waist is built Ford Tough x10,000^10. They described the large boob-like cask as being able to be hit by a train, drooped from god knows how far up, etc. They should use casks like that in rockets to send spent nuclear waist towards the sun.

Of course newer generation plants could reprocess this stuff.

That's a neat idea. My city recently introduced a bylaw where you are not allowed more than 3 pounds of pet poop per bag, which means dog owners now have to weigh their dog poop and bag it separately. Completely ridiculous, and will lead to way more pollution going in the landfill. Biodegradable bags for garbage and groceries and stuff should really be a standard by now and not an exception. A good portion of garbage that we throw out is biodegradable by nature while a lot of plastics are recyclable anyway, but by putting trash in bags it changes that.

 

[John Connor]

If I was in your town I'd shit in the bag and toss it on the town hall's steps.

I think the largest reason is the weight limits of space launches and how much it would cost. I have often wondered why the nuclear waste wasn't disposed in this manner, regardless of the cost, it would seem to be worth it IMO.

Superman pooped on TX?
60 minutes until our (my dog & I) take our Friday park walk. He usually is good for two dumps. Hope these bags don't suck.

Make sure to post a picture when your finger goes through the bag!

🙂

Yeah, but who is going to check your trash for > 3 lb bags of poop? Really. Do you think they are checking this?

 

[Murloc]

meh you're not supposed to leave around bags of dog shit anyway.
90 days or 4 years, it's still a visible bag of dog shit.

and why would they introduce such a bylaw? What's the difference? It's going into the trash anyway no?

Biodegradable or infinite-use (woven nylon) bags are compulsory in most of western Europe, they banned plastic bags, except for bagging the fresh vegetables of course.
