Not a hard job. You can empty a septic tank with a slurry tanker in a matter of minutes.

The hardest bit would be the design of buildings to allow access quickly.

Yeah, I can see how completely rebuilding every single sewer & every single building we’ve built over the last 170 years might take a few years’ work.

in North Korea human feces are already massively used as fertilizers right now, because the Country doesn't have the industrial/chemical ones following UN sanctions.

 

and actually, they were/are used also in many other places where poverty is at the highest level.

 

not here to explain the whole drama, but you can easily find in the net what the human feces used as fertilizer do to human body.

 

just search for health conditions of people defecting from North Korea.

It is very difficult for me to find an appropriate answer to this comment, but i will try:

1) How do you know that this is what he meant?

2) If you didn't ask him what he meant: What made you think that you could speak on his behalf?

3) Could you maybe post a link to the study that "proves" that people defe(ca)ting from North Korea are in such a bad state (health-wise) because North Korea uses human feces as fertilizer?

4) Where did i advocate for the use of human feces as fertilizer? (If i forgot that i wrote that, then please excuse my question)

5) Could you maybe post a link to a study that "proves" that using human feces as a fertilizer is bad for the body?

 

Thanks!

Centralized sewage treatment plants?

1) I am not a leftist, centralist or "rightist", but a pragmatist. Thanks for trying to put me into a category in order to "disqualify" me. This is always a good starting point for a discussion.

2) Could you maybe show me where i advocated for using human feces as fertilizer? (Please excuse the question if i just forgot that i wrote that)

3) Let's assume that i advocated this idea, but wouldn't be willing to do the "collecting" myself: How would this make the concept (using human feces as fertilizer) less "plausible"? I assume you are in favor of putting murderers behind bars (as an example)? I also assume that you wouldn't be willing to do the "deed" (picking them up ... not knowing if they are armed for example) yourself?

Try typing “North Korea Tapeworm” into any search engine & see what you get.

Yes, this is also why we never got 4G/5G and why we still rely on steam locomotives and horse carriages for transport.

Thanks, this whole discussion is very confusing for me. May i assume that you and phelps are the same person/speak on each other's behalf?

One page of discussion about zzzemantics? You guys must be bored.

 

He wrote:

 

"Another interesting topic could be using human feces as a resource."  

  

  

Whatever "resource" means there.

    • For anyone who was involved with buying tickets for Paris 2024, can anyone comment on how LA28's process seems similar or different?  I'm hoping to get tickets so my family and I can go, and I've already found events we'd like to go to (def. won't be medal matches, as I know those will be out of our price range).   Seems like Paris had some sort of 'package' deal you had to do, but I haven't seen anything like that for LA28.   Also, re: the draw system, was it the case that whenever your time slot became available, you had access to any session?  Or were only certain sessions available?  (And, if so, were different sessions available in a later ticket drop?)   Is it the case that preliminary sessions sell out more quickly than medal sessions?  Or vice-versa?   (To anyone interested in going: AirBnBs are able to be reserved up to two years ahead of time, so starting July-August, you should be able to make reservations.)
