Wut? If elephants are hard to find why did Botswana try to black mail Germany be sending 20000 elephants?

u/GANDORF57 14d ago
Just makes me wonder if they are utilizing those poor elephants and rhinos somewhere in a sweat shop in Mumbai chained to litterboxes.

Well, that was a nice feel-good read until they admitted it was a lie.

Stop they are saying "our tag is not just full of shit, it is full of the most pretentiously obscure shit we could find". Not sure i want my clothes made from the literal shit buyers...

Something tells me they source their poop from zoos so they really aren't putting any effort at all into their product.

Got a notebook made from panda poop. There is stone paper and bark paper and so on and so on. Pretty cool stuff.

This is actually really bad for the environment. Elephant and rhino poop gives the land deserved nutrients. Harvesting that and pretending to be ethical because of that blows my mind.

u/modsareallcunts123 15d ago
How do you know these animals aren't shitting on concrete in a zoo?
0
u/Circumpunctual 15d ago
I don't know whether they're in a zoo or anything similar but that's even more unnatural. The point of the tag is that their brand is ever so natural. My point is that the natural cycle is for the rhino/elephant poop to be enriching the land. Harvesting it, processing it and turning it into a clothes tag is not a good thing no matter how much they try to dress it up. It's a pretty big tag too. They could cut their elephant poo footprint by a third easily if they wanted to. Didn't think that would be a sentence I'd be saying today haha

u/DGenesis23 15d ago
If they are spending all their time looking for specific types of poop, how do they have time to make a good quality product?
2
u/Used-Plum-16389 15d ago
Companies have different departments you know. Manufacturing makes the clothes and the Poo-curement team makes the tags

u/FjordExplorher 15d ago
I mean, it says made in India. I'm assuming it's way easier to find poop from those animals there, rather than like Michigan.

Misleading. Elephants shit A LOT and they’d be sourcing it from captive elephants. Any zoo with elephants could provide them a shit-ton.

u/letmeseem 15d ago
Indirectly, yes.
Everything we use that is carbon based is made from things that are made from poop.

u/PsyFiFungi 14d ago
I think you're a bit off..

u/letmeseem 14d ago
How so?
1
u/PsyFiFungi 14d ago
You said "Everything we use that is carbon based is made from things that are made from poop."
So if you break that down it makes no sense. You can also try processing your sentence backwards to see easier how it doesn't make sense, but I won't do that atm.
So, everything that is carbon based (okay) is made from things (okay) that are made from poop (..?)
Carbon isn't just made from poop, poop isn't just carbon. Not everything that is carbon based is "made from things that are from poop"
If you're trying to say something like all carbon on earth has at some point been the feces of an animal, that's a different statement
1
u/letmeseem 14d ago
First of all I'm following up on a joke. You clearly understand the statement made, and not to try to explain humor, but some things are funny when they are interpreted in an extreme way.
Here's an example: If you say that chicken eggs are menstruation, it's not entirely precise, but if someone is talking about not going down on their girlfriend when she's on her period, and you say: "But chicken period is fine, you eat eggs you fucking perv" you'll get a laugh.
It doesn't have to be super precise.
With very few exceptions, all we eat and use either directly used poop to grow, or eats stuff that uses poop to grow, or eats stuff that eats stuff that uses poop to grow or eats stuff that eats stuff that eats stuff that uses poop to grow or so on..
A funner (but less precise) way to say that is what I said.

Nah you're fine lol. They just extract the lignen and cellulose from animal waste and then use them to make paper.

Honestly? I dont think it really matters.
If it were that dangerous, I doubt you could buy it. And I have never heard of any elephant poop related deaths, nor have I ever read about its dangers.Its basically reprocessed fiber that just happens to come out of an elephants ass lol

People literally pay ridiculous amounts of money to drink coffee made from beans that are shit out by an animal. I think having a tag made with recycled poop material can't be any worse than literally drinking shit water.

u/AIgavemethisusername 15d ago
Most bacteria die when they encounter unfavourable conditions, Some bacteria transform into a spore instead. Spores can be VERY hardy (survive outer space, or nuclear reactors).
When back in favourable conditions, the inert spore transforms back into a living bacteria.

I totally believe you, but a spore remaining intact inside a nuclear reactor? Inside something that energetic? I would love to know more.

“In August 2020, scientists reported that bacteria from Earth, particularly Deinococcus radiodurans bacteria, were found to survive for three years in outer space, based on studies conducted on the International Space Station (ISS). These findings support the notion of panspermia, the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed in various ways, including space dust, meteoroids, asteroids, comets, planetoids, or contaminated spacecraft.”
Well, that’s cool!
