Blood for the Blood God. Skulls for the Skull Throne.
Potatoes, what can’t they do?
More specifically, what else are they good at that is typically a duty relegated to human blood?
They make my dick hard
A dick tater?
On the weekends my blood has a good percentage of potato in it. Though I don’t think that’s as good as potato free blood.
Guess it’s leaches and blood letting again.
suuure bricks. cool cool cool cool. Did I miss the meeting where we resolved the “not able to breathe on Mars” problem?
If we can’t figure out how to build stores and factories on Mars, what’s even the point of going?
Apartments! Rent slaves!! Real estate ARRGHHGHGFHJ is literally a horrible feudal lord forcing people to spend their entire lives working and dies comfortably in his bed smiling surrounded by his family at 95 after a life of unprecedented luxury suffering no consequences for his immortal behavior ever
You don’t want to know the third thing they tried.
It’s piss, no joke
Which of the two options did they think of first? I want a recording of that meeting.
I know this is a meme but actually looking into this is very interesting, the question being answered is “how can we build on distant planets” which scientists from Manchester university have tried to answer with human waste products and space dust. Any food production on a ship will be for consumption so while potato’s are a good choice on earth in reality growing potato’s on distant planets pose more question than answers.
Human waste products I can understand. But how many humans would you need to mulch to get enough blood for a building project? That’s one of the main fluids we usually want to stay inside our bodies.
if for some reason you have overproduction (plague?) nice to know you can make decent bricks out of the food tho
potato plague in space?
yes the potatoes give people plague so you have too many potatoes that could be a reason
“Oh fuck, rocks?! That’s right, let’s try rocks next. Duh!”
-Rocket scientist, caked in blood and potato debris
There called rocket scientists for a reason, not rock scientists.
Keep in mind that it doesn’t say that blood is bad for making bricks. Just that it is worse than potatoes. The real deciding factor will be which is cheaper to get in space.
So where are they making these bricks? In space? Why do you need bricks… In space?
It would take effort and time, but surely there are far more efficient ways to make bricks on like Mars considering the vast amount of water that’s been discovered.
Firstly, this is for creating concrete on mars, where resources are very scarce and making regular concrete is not viable. Secondly, to survive martian conditions, we need to build bases, a lot of very sturdy, structurally sound bases. And lastly, before the potato based concrete, blood was genuinely the most viable solution, being an easily renewable resource. IIRC the martian concrete is now magnitudes better than regular concrete.
You’d think that, but believe it or not: blood or potatoes.
…
So the three little astronauts go into the Martian house of blood, and the big bad says “L̶̛̲̗͕̞̍e̸̢̛̼̦͔͋̚͝͝t̸̩͎̺̙̗̙̃ ̶̝̖̣̃̌̚ḿ̵̡̻͆͘ę̸̛́̀̌ ̶̡̙̩͆͂ͅi̷̢͙̓̈́͛͂ń̴̬̩͔̳̱”
In case of space big bad wolves. Duh.
Yes, bit what about in space?
That’s the part I don’t understand, what are you going to do with bricks in space???
pig houses duh
Concrete is really good at blocking radiation, which tends to be a little important to do in space.
Throw them at space billionaires, duh.
This closes off a few bad endings for humanity.
Think again, scientists are often ignored
As long as potatoes have a higher profit margin than blood, the real mosnsters will choose potatoes.
is this spudnik?
Pomme de terra
This feels like it’s part of a Hideo Kojima game.
“Blood grenades? Hah! Have you tried spuds?!”
He codes real-time potato growing into the game.
Well of course. Without potatoes they’re just trying to get stone from some blood.
