After reading (trying to read/understand) the OPs intent my brain wants to totally explode. This thread is full of much more fail than the average one.

OP, good luck on your next attempt.

I am so confused, but this explains the 156 clowns in my car....

Oh and vote yes for mandatory human neutering/spading.

Now, we need the carbon content of 92-octane gasoline. If we
approximate the gasoline as pure iso-octane (C8H18) (see, for example,
"Fuel Chemistry" at

http://www.altfuels.org/fuelchem.html ),

then carbon represents 84% of the weight of gasoline. The density of
gasoline is about .75 gm/cc. (See, for example, the "MSDS
Hyperglossary" at

http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/density.html ).

One US gallon contains 3785 cc (online unit conversion at

http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm ).

Thus, one gallon of gasoline contains 3785 x .75 x .84 / 1000 = 2.38
kg carbon.

Avg weight in KG according to wikipedia is 62.

So each person is 26 Gallons of gas. That's about 2/3 of a barrel worth of crude. So getting rid of 5/7 of the worlds population and turning them into fuel, assuming we can accelerate that process by millions of years and not waste tons of energy, we could get 3.333 Billion barrels of oil basically. USA consumes 7 billion barrels a year :( Not even half.

ugh... i really thought 900 million people died

Felix D Kat is complaining about 900ml people killed/day due to ATOT's collective masturbatory habits.

It's thoughts like this that keep him up nights


And no--I am not joking.

The planet is suffering from over population & there's no slow down in sight.

We need a mass euthanization of populations.

1 billion is a good number to start with.
Euthanize these groups:
Poor & homeless
Obese
Retard/brain-dead/vegetable
Drug addicts
Suicidal

I'm not sure how close that would come to 1 billion, but it would be a decent amount I would like to think.

I know there was a couple more groups I had named in discussion I had a while back.
I was thinking pretty much anyone who may be useless as to the advancement of the entire human race.
Something something let the strongest survive or whatever.
But rate it's going now, we are not only killing the planet, but our own future as a human race.
Unfortunately, human greed & selfishness is only speeding up our own destruction.

And yes, if the Kevorkian method was widely accepted & used, I would have signed up many years ago. So I am including myself in my proposition. Doubly so, as I was homeless for a time being as well.

Most of the time this comes off the wrong way & easily misinterpreted by any of the holes left open. So go cry your tears some more elsewhere.

Is that 7 billion bbls for current population? If so, it would be roughly 2 billion bbls for 2/7 the population. So 3.333 billion bbls would last 1-2/3 years

Well that was just USA consumption Considering USA would keep population intact and do this to the rest of the world, this plan doesn't seem feasible. With that many less humans we could do it to plant life and vegetation though, which probably is orders of magnitude more carbon than human life.

Well if you try to impliment that kind of plan you'll be sure to lower the population because many people out there will kill anyone trying to euthanize their family members. I have a disabled child and if you or anyone came to euthnanize her I'd do my worst to those people.
If you don't want freedom move to Iran or China.

Well what would be more missed? Americans, or poor ass peons in Africa/India/China?

We need to compare the benefits of straight out conversion of biomass and the associated greenery these 5billion people would be eating into fossil fuels versus giving them all electric generating bicycles that are tied into a grid to power the USA. If they pedal 16 hour days at about 300 watts (after a while they can be conditioned for this level of output) they produce 1 terawatt. Which is enough for about 1/4 of the energy the USA uses. Horribly inefficient :(

Alternatively, we could manufacture cars that ran on dead people.

6/7th of our population is alive because of one man... the same man who invented mustard gas and helped Germany gain massive advantage in the trenches.

This man learned how to fix nitrogen from the air to be used as fertilizers. Before him, countries went to war over chicken shit, literally, just for the precious nitrogen. Supplies were getting scarce as the human population loomed around a billion.

Now we can feed 7billion comfortably.

You could have prevented that by not inbreeding, you know.

WTF is wrong with you? That's over the top even for you. Go away.

Why would you want another to suffer at the lesser quality of life? This is not benefiting anyone.

I realized at a young age when I went to see my great grandmother in nursing home, that human euthanization should be put to use.
They were long gone. Dead. But their body was still there. They could not & did not function like a normal person.
Personally, I'd rather be put down humanely than having to depend on someone else feeding me & wiping my ass while I'm not even there mentally anymore.
Why make another suffer for your own selfishness?

When I was hospitalized for depression, there was another older disabled woman in there.
Her children could care less for her & nobody wanted anything to do with her. There is no reason they should be kept alive.
If they wish to die, so be it.

The majority of that 62 kilograms is water, not carbon. Carbon is about 18% of a human (by mass.) So, you're only going to get about 5 gallons of gas per human.

Since you're wiping out 5/7, that means I'd get about 12-13 gallons of gasoline. I'd burn through that in an hour of boating.
