I don't think this holds water.

I don't think mead holds water either.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Water ratios vary between 4:1 and 2:1 in mead, based on a two second google search, actually.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Just use the viking, he can hold about 60% water.

You just need to add a thin layer plastic on the inside to prevent that from happening! Then it's no longer plastic-free, but it's still reusable and greatly reduces the amount of plastic needed compared to disposable cups.

The average adult skull has a capacity of around 1.2 litres, or five regular cups of coffee. Our buddy with the axe there should think about getting his insulated and capped. Even if he's not carrying around his whole day's supply, it's gonna get cold fast.

This is especially true if your enemies are billionaires, petroleum energy execs, or others with exceptionally large culpability for climate change.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 23 hours ago

It's true for pretty much anyone who is actually worth pillaging.

Maybe a good lesson from the Indians, find a way to use as much as possible from your prey

This is very obviously not correct, though it's funny. The amount of energy, CO2 and waste expended to produce a human skull is astronomical compared to a plastic cup

[–] seang96@spgrn.com 9 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

But that depends, if you are doing a human skull farm than of course it is. If your enemy would have lived to 80+ years otherwise this is 100℅ more environmental friendly. Also the skulls reusable I guess.

So you're saying my human skull farm is helping to destroy the planet?!

[–] seang96@spgrn.com 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

You could destroy the planet less by reducing their lifespan, only letting females live since the boys tend to eat more due to their hormones and stuff, and utilize every part rather than just the skulls!

Edit: would it be less? Idk this stuffs hard to quantify.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

I'm going to need to see a whitepaper on this.

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

You have some excellent points

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

"Reusable skulls of billionaires are so in right now! And the supply has never been bigger!"

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

And yet not one of my enemies has volunteered to give me their skull.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

pillaging is not green friendly

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The plastic problem is entirely separate from the climate problem.
Avoiding plastic cups does nothing for the climate, most alternatives actually release more CO2 during production.
Especially human skulls.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

During production yes, but think of the amount of carbon that would have been produced if you hadn't used your enemies skull. Your enemy might have reproduced and had more kids to make even more CO2.

Not to be confused with the skullcap:

Wearing your enemies skull on your own head...

In the table he has the trash that is left after you make the cup. He's looking for a recycler.
