Dog shit can potentially be used for fertilizer, which is more benefit than most NFTs provide.
- NoOneNew 5y agoHey, the market for dog shit is growing since there's a looming fertilizer shortage due to the Russian invasion. Growth market... add in a scheme for tax breaks through city clean up initiatives, you may just have an opportunity.
- selectodude 5y agoDog feces is acidic and shitty fertilizer because dogs are primarily carnivorous :(
- NoOneNew 5y agoYou're supposed to compost any shit before using it as fertilizer. Appling poop directly to a plant is never really a good idea unless you water it down a lot.
- janj 5y agoNot always the case https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/bunny_honey_using_rabbit_manure_as_a_fertilizer https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/bunny_honey_using_rabbit_manur...
- jsmcgd 5y agoInteresting. The grass around the cat shit in my garden always seems to grow much better than the surrounding grass. I'm assuming the cats also eat a carnivorous diet.
- NoOneNew 5y agoIt all depends on the plant. Some plants, including grasses, take direct shit great. Others, not so much. It has less to do with the type of shit and more with the type of plant. Most shit is composted before use.
- weatherlite 5y agoDude you are not taking great care of your garden...
- gigaflop 5y agoI feel like we should kill 2 birds with one stone: Bats and bat guano. Guano used to be mined for gunpowder, to the point where the US annexed a few islands after the Guano Islands Act of 1856. If bat guano is usable as fertilizer, we could design some basic guano-collecting bat shelters that act like an automatic litterbox for cats. The bats get a home, and the equivalent of a flush-toilet, while we get bats, less bugs, and plenty of batshit ideas.

- bombcar 5y agoThe quite reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare
- jbboehr 5y agoNot a coincidence: > The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) established the Plowshare Program in June 1957 to explore the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The program took its name from the Bible (Isaiah 2:4), "they will beat their swords into plowshares." https://st.llnl.gov/news/look-back/plowshare-program https://st.llnl.gov/news/look-back/plowshare-program Strangely, Wikipedia makes no mention of the source of the name.

- nradov 5y agoThere is also a fertilizer shortage in parts of the US due to railroad bottlenecks. We can produce fertilizer but can't get it to the farms in time. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220414005731/en/CF-Industries-Union-Pacific-Curtails-Fertilizer-Shipments-Delaying-Deliveries-and-Preventing-New-Rail-Orders-from-Being-Taken https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220414005731/en/CF-...
- rapind 5y agoSo many people trying to sell us dog shit though. Very competitive market. Margins will be low.
- eperez123 5y agoBut dog shit is fungible.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoas long as you add the fungi in the dark, sure.
- selimthegrim 5y agoWell this certainly explains MacArthur Park.
- peteradio 5y agoNote to reader: do not use dog shit as a fertilizer.
- myvoiceismypass 5y agoIf the dog was vegetarian like a cow/horse, would it be okay to use as fertilizer?
- dwighttk 5y agoHey NFTs give us somewhere to put all this excess energy production!
- throw_nbvc1234 5y agoHow much will energy really cost in a world that's "fully" renewable in 10-20 years? Its not much different then all the datacenters built on the Colombia river in Washington state/Oregon so they get cheap hydro-electric power. The question is will crypto and NFT's push us over the edge before we get to that point. Alongside the thousands of other similar things like people driving large SUV's instead of fuel efficient cars before we go fully electric.
- dwighttk 5y agoAs energy costs go down energy usage goes up under Bitcoin
- randmeerkat 5y ago> Dog shit can potentially be used for fertilizer, which is more benefit than most NFTs provide. What if the NFT is dog shit?
- kingcharles 5y agoDog shit NFTs coming soon... https://xn--bp8hgh.to/ https://xn--bp8hgh.to/
