  • This is something that can be found out, actually. For example, large monasteries that have existed for a millennium or longer are likely candidates. Though, maybe some airport loo generates enough turd per day that they can cover that monastery’s monthly turd production in a day?

    That would mean that they are able to turdify our seas in half a century as much as the large monastery can do in about 15 centuries.

    What toilets have a constant queue 24/7, decade after decade? There aren’t that many of those.
    We can do this. We just need to put our heads into it!






  • I wonder if this is of any help… But sometime parents have names planned before the child is born, and they might have had thought of two. Have you asked them if you had a female name before your birth?

    In any case… Damn, you’ve got style! And sorry I cannot be useful with directly suggesting names. My mother tongue is not English, so all names I’d intuitively come up with would be all weird for an English-speaker.

    Interesting… Historically the prefix ge- has meant doing something completely. For example, there used to be the verb winnen, which meant “to fight victoriously”. In German it’s nowadays “gewinnen”, constructed from meaning “fighting victoriously all the way until finish”, or more shortly: “to win.” And in English the it has lost the infinite form’s ending “-en”, and is nowadays just “win” (or “to win”).

    And then in German a device with -ge in front of its name means it’s assembled out of several parts that somehow function together. So, I’d say based on this that the back three quarters of this … animal? … either technically consists of an amount of hogs, or are several independent components that together form a hog. And do that without having a head.

    If you add a he(a)d zu dem Gehog, it becomes a full-fledged animal capable of both locomotion and thought. And spikety-spike-spiky pokey things.

    Of course it could also be that “gehog” does not have the prefix “ge” at all, but is instead “geh” + “og”. That would again be German, and would mean “an og that walks”. And an “og” would probably be the same thing as the Dutch “oog” and the German “Auge”: An eye. So, if you take a walking eye and add a hed to it, you get a hedgehog… Ouch.

    NEVER DISASSEMBLE A HEDGEHOG!

    All?

    So, if I collect clay in some remote place, and make a dinner plate out of it to use in my kitchen, then that dinner plate, which is my property, has been gained and maintained through violence? And it’s okay to eat me if I refuse to let go of my dinner plate?

    I mean, I do agree with the sentiment of “eat the rich”, but for fuck’s sake, how is all property supposed to be violence? All property really does include even my toothbrush.

    Words do matter.

    And also, if you have protected wex, you have protected sex, yes.

    One interesting question: how do you know you have learned everything you need to know about condomology? If I understand right, you consider protected sex unprotected, if the people having it are not aware of some safety aspect regarding how to use a condom.

    You seem to find it important to stigmatise people for having unprotected sex even in situations where they, by their own understanding, are having protected sex. I’d like you to elaborate a bit more on your philosophy, please! :)
