It's not just natural and compostable - it's incredibly and unimaginably eco friendly, super carbon negative, has positive effects on people's lives, and morally such a positive yearly habit (/ritual/tradition) that instantly cures depression & guarantees the best afterlife (or no afterlife for those who had enough).

Real talk though, bonemeal is high in phosphorus, a plant macronutrient. I do not actually suggest using human bones

Is there really no downsides to eating the rich?

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Better than eating plastic

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

but the rich are made out of plastic, no?

[–] ArcticLynx@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

plastic is unhealthy to eat

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The meat might be tender, but if they're US billionaires they'll likely have abnormally high salt content. Just something to be aware if you have high cholesterol

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Humanity might actually survive climate change, depending on your viewpoint that could probably be a negative!

[–] huge_clock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Eat the rich -> you be one the next richest -> get eaten

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

You're sending really mixed signals.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just really like soil amendments. And mixed signals.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

But not mixed amendments and soil signals? Just checking.

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Just imagine how much CO2 will never get released if you plant a tree with rich peoples bones!

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

All this talk of eating the rich, when we should really use the rich as fertilizer. This has the side benefit of allowing one to include their vegan or vegetarian friends.

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can I exchange them for carbon credits? A single one is probably better than quute a huge forrest!

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Asking for a friend!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

this is great. but shouldn't we also fix the system that allows billionaires to exist?

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

then how are se going continue to get etically harvested human bones?

[–] Suspicious@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 years ago

You think the billionaires will stand by and let you do that?

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (6 children)

One thing I've always wondered is why people keep parroting "eat the rich" and say they actually mean it when you ask, but not a single story about someone actually doing it comes up. When is someone going to actually follow through?

[–] apolo399@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I don't know if you want a serious answer but here you go: it has to be something done in massive numbers to shift the power balance towards the people and away from the billionaires, else it's just an individual killing a poor father of three or whatever sob story they'd like to tell that happened to be a CEO

[–] bi_tux@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

They taste like fossil fuels, I don't recommend it tbh

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tell me you would seriously eat that! elon-musk-69

Yeah, it's like eating ass, you don't really do it.

Unless you're a dirty, dirty boy.

When tax reform is passed to remove caps and tax stock buybacks aggressively.

So never

Any tips for removing the meat and bleaching the bones?

[–] KillAllPoorPeople@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Leave it out for a few days and let the coyotes have at it.
