@alina "A SpaceX representative has done the math and while potatoes make better bricks, human blood is cheaper. So if you'd like to be part of Elons new Mars colony sign up for our mission at your local human grind^H^H^H.. gathering center!"

@alina

POTATOES FOR THE POTATO GOD

@alina Dammit... This economy is just not working for me.

@alina hm. However, bricks made from billionares are so cost effective that if you keep making them long enough, everybody will be able to afford housing AND food

@alina A quote from lead researcher for the project, Dr Aled Roberts: "astronauts probably don’t want to be living in houses made from scabs and urine!" https://www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/scientists-develop-a-cosmic-concrete-that-is-twice-as-strong-as-regular-concrete/

@alina Who decided to first test human blood over potatoes as an ingredient for making space bricks?

@alina
I always had confidence that the potatoes would be better at this.

@alina great. Now what am I going to do with all this human blood?

@alina capitalism: “but is human blood cheaper and faster to produce than potatoes…?”

@alina you're telling me now?!

@alina watch em still try to use human blood anyway. >.< is Melon Husk involved?

@alina wow

Here's the article https://www.space.com/space-bricks-potato-starch-mars-moon-dirt

@alina naw :neocat_sad:

@alina "You CAN make blood bricks in space but spuds are better"

OK then. 🥔 🧛‍♂️

@alina Finally, I've been asking myself this question for years!

@alina
That makes just about as much sense as anything else right about now.

@alina always thought aliens are going to use human blood for space brick but it seems like human need human blood more.

@alina@girldick.gay well okay but I say we should keep doing the blood thing anyway

@alina how.

@alina Absolute nonsense, this is obviously just propaganda from the potato lobby!

We need to stand up for our blood farmers, and stand up against "Big Potato".

@alina las minute save.

Because I bet that someone has been scientifically studying it, I mean, just to know how, funded by someone else who really thought what if.

@alina @jdmcg Hmmm. I might be an outlier, but would I bleed in exchange for more potatoes? Especially if they’re fried? Sorry, but that’s a definite yes.
