Taking the spherical human to require 8400 kJ/day, we're talking ~170 kJ replacement, or:
~6g butter, or
~1/3 of a can of Coke, or
~1/3 of a single Bounty piece, or
~1 McNugget (without sauce)
Not sure that all that biohacking would be worth the single extra smear/swig/bite?
- manvillej 2y agoper day though. I think others are right that it has applications in space. going with the butter example, 5 people on a year long mission is almost 11kg you don't have to bring up to space. on an environmental perspective, if applied to everyone, its almost half a quadrillion kJ removed a year, plus supply chain logistics, waste, packaging, I still think its probably a ridiculous pipedream, but even pipedreams are meant to be dreamt.
- kylehotchkiss 2y agoMaybe this would be enough to get people onto more lean meats, and a reduction of cattle industry? (Is that worth biohacking for?)
