Because we the sucker peasants of the west have largely been propagandized by the owner class from birth into embodying this meme:

This is too true not to repost (to my friends)

INDIRECTLY. You don't know where your autocrat has been!

Always cut up/grind remains as best as possible and place them in your local compost pile/blood pit for processing. Then in a year or so you can use the resulting high quality soil for your garden!

Humans don't really compost down into anything better or worse than any other animal. Caitlin Doughty has a few videos on the subject. Honestly it looks pretty comfy, I wouldn't mind getting composted.

No sources, didn't watch. Soz.

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't know if you're serious or not. Here's the exact timestamp where it is discussed, and the source for the claim that humans make alright but unspectacular compost is Dr. Lynne Carpenter-Boggs of WSU.

It's worth noting that Caitlin Doughty is a certified mortician, and the person she's interviewing, Katrina Spade, is the driving force behind that particular human composting facility. They both, together with a slew of other people, have campaigned to make human composting legal in New York and California.

So it's not some weird troll BS, these are professionals discussing their work, which at least for Katrina is human composting, and Caitlin, dead bodies in general.

I was being very serious. If those were the sources, why were they not in the description? Why would I have to watch ten minutes of video to be sure the information is valid and accurate? I'm not going to do that, since it's usually a waste of time.

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Because the quality of compost that human bodies make isn't the main topic covered. The first video is a general discussion on human composting, as well as a bit of an interview of Katrina Spade, and a walkthrough of the process. The second video is a discussion/update on where human composting as an alternative way to dispose of bodies currently is in terms of legality in the U.S.

I shared the videos because Caitlin Doughty is a fun person, and the work she does is important and a lot of her videos are very interesting. I shared the videos because I thought that others might benefit also.

Have you seen the movie Zone of Interest? That scene got me. Actually every scene got me. It's just a hauntingly good movie.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I was going to see it last weekend, but decided not to... most nazi related movies just piss me off because of the nazis.

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago

This movie is less about being mad at Nazis and more of making you look deep inside yourself and ask if you wouldn't have done something similar. It's more about watching regular people live their lives and they just happen to be Nazis who are heavily involved in the Holocaust. A particular scene I think about a lot involves a board room where people are talking about seemingly normal business activities like funding and logistics. Except they're actually talking about how to build Auschwitz... but it seems eerily similar to any normal business meeting you might imagine today. That's what makes this movie so good and so different from most other Holocaust movies. Highly recommend.

It's true what they say, "The Proletariat is from Omicron Persei 7 and the Bourgeoisie is from Omicron Persei 9." 🙄

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 9 points 6 months ago

They are too confused and attacking those less fortunate than them (aka other workers). All while the rich laugh at us.

Look at the poors fighting each other about immigration, feminism, racism, taxes, political ideology, religion, sports, hobbies, nationality, and getting riled up about whatever we shove into the news 🤣 They are all just the same to us: human resources to be exploited and distracted to be controlled more easily.

we don't eat them because too many people naively believe they can make change through non violent resistance
