    Probably improve. Not immediately, and don’t go shoveling it into your mouth, but enough of the poop would have to be treated via simple exposure or a sewage plant.

    City people tend to not really understand poop, waste management…give poop enough time, and a little care, it’s fertilizer. Where I live, some of the soils are very very black. Very rich & fertile. It’s the best soil. But what created that rich soil?

    It was poop. Poop, pee, rotting biological lifeforms. It was poop, it no longer is poop, I bought this book a year & a half ago that details how to safely turn your own poop into sterile soil. There are many different methods, web search it.

    I enjoy the benefits of society & modern plumbing, septic…but if/when everything breaks down…I want a good outhouse. I don’t want to be sitting around like an idiot wondering, “Where does my poo-poo go without 1.4 gallons of water per flush? 🤔”

    Turn the box into poop! Turn all kidnappers to poop!

    That’s a good point. Idk you would probably have to have a robust security detail. Which you can afford, or probably again twist the arm of America to provide for you at taxpayer expense. 🙂 All things are negotiable.

    You can do so much good with that power, you’d be one of the best people to exist ever in the history of mankind. You’d simply have to use that power. For good.

    Green pill would be the best power, hands down, no contest. It would be a very, well, green superpower.

    Demolition jobs all around the country, regular houses cost $4-8 per square foot. Underbid & you get every job. Old warehouses? Poo. Toxic landfills? Poo. Asbestos? Poo. Old tech waste that’s processed for valuable metals first? Poo. Forever chemicals? Not anymore, poo. Radioactive nuclear waste that costs us $6B every year according to this? Get a government contract for $5B per year for 100+ years with unlimited paid travel/room/board for you & all your family, travel to all the storage sites & turn all the nuclear waste into poo. Travel the US. Travel the world! You’re the Poo Man. Eliminating radioactive nuclear waste & creating fertilizer. Everyone would pay top dollar for your fantastic services. Getting old, sick of earth? Go to the moon, go to Mars, Mars can use lots & lots of nutrient rich poo to help terraform in the future.

    There would be almost no limit to the amount of good you could do, with poo…yes, you can use it to rob banks. If you’re fucking dumb. Or you could legally shake down & radically transform the entire world, make them pay you & your descendants like kings, and if they’re smart they’ll thank you for your services. Poo Man. All day, every day, you’d be the richest man on earth (or Mars) & arguably super super ethical, too. Win-win.


  • …not really. I mean yes limited funds-wise but opportunity-wise you’ve got access to the entire world market at your fingertips. You can buy all Chinese crap straight off the boat, or other places.

    Watching your budget? Go to thrift stores, antique shops, and estate sales/auctions. It’s very green & environmentally friendly. And there have been many, many amazing American manufacture things of old that are so much better than their modern crap counterparts. The difference is night & day.


  • I hope that’s a joke, but if not…women freezing eggs have sometimes encountered huge, huge problems. Huge financial problems, a quick search says 10-15K & often reaching 20K per egg freezing, retrieval procedure. Then $800/yr storage. Then costs for thawing & use. Tbf I see some lower quotes from New Hope but it’s best to overestimate these costs & be pleasantly surprised when they’re lower.

    Freezing of eggs doesn’t guarantee a successful pregnancy or healthy/live baby. A woman boldly wrote a piece called ‘Freeze your eggs, free your career’ and experienced a terrible, across the board dozen egg failure. At least she had the humility to share her story with the world, so they can see & learn from it. Takes a big person to admit maybe they were wrong.

    I advise all wannabe future parents in their 20s to get to fucking. I don’t personally advise having children, but obviously 20s are peak time if you can swing it. Biologically. It’s not going to get any better.

    I am immensely grateful for the egg freezing technology, how you can use it to cheat the infertility of cancer treatments, other bad medical conditions. But it’s still a poor substitute for nature’s plan, no guarantees, and I don’t think it needs to be used by all women everywhere.





  • Not my country, but something that fascinated me in Greece. Greece is a land of honey…and marble rock. Beautiful, swirling, sparkly rock in all different shades. It is so terribly abundant that they use marble in place of concrete.

    To the Greeks, it is normal to use marble literally everywhere. They disrespect the beautiful stone, turning it into a curb on the street & slathering it in yellow paint. I saw a yellow curb that was cracked open - exposing the glittering marble rock inside. I found it so funny & sad that I took a picture. We love marble, we think it’s so decadent & fancy, it’s flooring in the finest hotels, businesses, and homes. These people just use marble everywhere; it’s just a rock to them. 😆

    It really puts things into perspective.



  • So you approach the Cracker Barrel, and it’s got a bunch of rocking chairs out front you can rock on. You go inside, and immediately it’s like a ye olde General Store type vibe. An assortment of various goods, enough of them have an old-timey Americana feel. Postcards, candies, snacks, sodas, clothing, toys, kitchen/household items. You’d check in with the hostess & browse the goods as you wait to be seated.

    That is pretty fucked up, never heard about it. It’s the usual suspects, “Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia”. Probably not an unspoken nationwide Cracker Barrel policy, more of a Southern thing, but it’s likely corporate knew it was going on & tolerated it.

    The dead logos & old Southern country styling…WAS…their thing. It was their whole thing, now it’s gone, and they have nothing. Idk personally I don’t see it going well for them. Time will tell.



  • Cracker Barrel, a kinda-sorta popular “Old Country Store” that prided itself on staying the same over the years…has undergone massive, sweeping changes in aesthetics. The man & barrel are from the sign, now gone. The dark wood walls covered in Americana are going away. I hear some of the food is going to change as well.

    It’s weird because I’m seeing everybody slamming Cracker Barrel’s food, and I have never had a bad meal at Cracker Barrel. I’m not going out of my way to eat it, but every time I’ve gone it’s been nice.

    I have enjoyed Cracker Barrel in the past, but I’m far from a frequent customer. However: anyone with half a brain can tell you the very last thing Cracker Barrel regulars want is change. Unless this change is accompanied by providing…something…with value equal or greater than what they’re taking away, we are witnessing intentional brand destruction and/or brand suicide.
