A type of traditional toilet in india was the pig toilet. The user would shit in a shaft that led to a pig barn and the pigs would eat the shit. This made it very dangerous to eat the pigs because it can give you parasites and infections.
What are some other animals that eat shit?
>pick one
mexico is not in europe, moron
That wasn't just a thing in India.
>Pig toilets were also used in parts of India such as Goa.[7] A 2003 survey of sanitary arrangements in Goa and Kerala found that 22.7% of the population still used pig toilets
yeah...i'm still not eating pork
>inb4 "y-you're muslim/jew!"
no, i'm just not a mental midget
taste good tho
Pork is by far the worst tasting meet you uncultured amerifat
>meet
Europe eats way more pork than America statistically
Because pork is the tastiest meat. No idea where
is from but he's probably brown.
>in India
and in China's past, too, apparently.
Pigs should be safe if well cooked but there is still the issue of people not cooking properly or raw meat contaminating other things.
Black soldier fly larvae can be raised in a diet of pure shit. They are a safer way to convert shit into food than pigs. I would use it to serve as feed for chickens, pigs, etc. this way they get a tasty snack.
the maggot bucket really is the enlightened man's waste-to-food converter
I honestly don't know why humans don't eat shit. We could do it, since our digestion is more extreme than you might think. Our gastric acid is on par with carrion eating animals like hyena and vultures indicating that we've evolved to scavenge and eat aging meat that we might have stored for long periods. Hell, much of our diet even today consists of fermented things. This is why humans don't throw up regularly or easily like cats or dogs do, when we do we fricking burn our throats.
So yeah idk.
Germans really are the master race
hi there Fritz
I don't get it, I'm not from Germany, but the facts remain that humans have stomach acid built for devouring carrion. We still get food poisoning so we're not as invincible as vultures for example, and maybe our isnt quite strong enough to kill most parasites. But maybe that's also why our shit is inedible.
Most animals that eat shit are herbivores. Everyone knows carnivores and omnivores have the worst shit, that stinks the worst and is the most riddled with parasites. I consider humans to be between omnivores and obligate carnivores. Maybe thats why we don't eat crap. You don't see many carnivores doing that.
>obligate carnivores
I meant mesocarnivores
the joke is that Germany produces a lot of scat porn
Wait, what? I throw up every day.
That's not normal?
Maybe eating shit is just nasty and that's why most people don't want to do it? Just a thought.
"Nasty" is a social construct, and social behavior comes from biology and evolution. For any animal to consider something "nasty" it has to be detrimental first.
We have easy access to better tasting, better smelling, more nutritious food. Animals live every day of their lives not knowing when they'll eat next, we as humans don't have that issue. We can choose what to eat.
Just admit you like to eat shit and go.
Animals learn from eachother. Ancient humans saw other animals not eating their own shit and therefore rightfully assumed eating your own shit=bad. It's not about social constructs, it's about physical health. You're fricking weird.
>Ancient humans saw other animals not eating their own shit and therefore rightfully assumed eating your own shit=bad.
i think it was even before that. the smell of our shit, and more potently other ape's shit, was repulsive to us which taught us it's bad
But other animals eat their own shit. The cute bunny does it, the big and smart elephant does it and so does the tiny hamster. The hedgehog does it, the pig does it and even the might gorilla does it.
ok shit eater
Basically everything can eat shit. Just sterilize it, and it's safe. Shit is nothing more than food that has been cooked in an acid bath. Gorillas eat shit, orangutans eat shit, all you have to do is have an immune system that's worth anything.
It's actually an evolved response to all of our own odors to combat the spread of parasites. Other animals never think "i smell, I NEED TO GET IN THE WATER NOW" or tell each other "YOU SMELL GET IN THE WATER NOW" over their natural body odor. I can sniff my cats pits and they clearly have a body odor. The cat does not care about having a body odor. They only care about breaking up their scent trail by giving themselves an occasional superficial spit bath, so nothing can track them down and eat them based on the smell of every patch of ground they ever sat or walked on. My dog has a body odor, but they don't care, they just lick their legs and belly and let other dogs comb out the rest of their hair to dislodge bugs. But humans are uniquely repulsed by their own odors and the odors of other humans, and universally think the solution is getting in the water.
The smell of your shit, in a world without toilet paper, and the dysfunctional human body plan, is a sign that you might have mites and worms living in your ass hair already so you need to get in the water NOW.
Humans do eat shit. We just don’t eat any shit. A bunch of cheeses in Europe are made by letting cheese fly lay eggs on it, the maggots eating the cheese and then people eat the maggot poop, the maggots might be eaten too or not, the most famous is casu marzu but there are many others. There is also mite cheese that is more or less the same but using mites instead. Also one of the most expensive coffees in the world is made by feeding coffee fruits to civets then collecting the beams from the poop. Apparently the digestion makes the coffee taste better. There are other examples around the world, just look it up.
>Humans
>Europe
pick one
have a nice day degenerate fetishist
Huh, they have pig barns under streets and beaches in india?
Tilapia and Carp are often fed human waste on farms in places like Vietnam and China, though the practice is also quite common in the U.S.
Bottom-feeders in general will eat animal waste or anything, so long as it is at the bottom of a body of water.
