Guess how many pounds of fat I’m holding.

simulated fat blob from medical supply store

It looks like it should be but actually it’s only 5 pounds!

now i can't guess. but would have guessed at least 10

Yeah, 10 looks about right although it’s actually 5 pounds. I guess that makes sense when it’s spread all over the body.

Fat is relatively light. I guessed five pounds. Add some garlic, onions, peppers, and cabbage and you have the basis of a fine recipe there.

It would be about 2 quarts by volume when rendered.
Yeah but I'm just eyeballing it and when you render it you lose a % of water and also the tissue holding in the oil so I'm taking of 20% from the estimated finished volume.
I wonder what they actually do with the medical waste fat from liposuction clinics. If we replaced part of the soybean oil with animal fat it would probably help with the obesity problem and maybe even finance the procedures. Ofc then curing the problem would completely rekt your supply. Also I found this while looking into where the fat goes and lmao.

Yeah I just kind of got to thinking about how using it for soap would be kind of a waste if you weren't also trying to manufacture precursors for explosives.
well of course, making biodiesel also has glycerin as a byproduct. plant and animal fats are triglycerides.
an obvious advantage of animal fat is that it is more saturated. unsaturated biodiesel is more likely to 'spoil' by slowly absorbing oxygen as it sits in storage.

@dew_the_dew I read the title “fillerup” 🛎️ 🛎️ GaSCREWdiGitituhlNetwerk 🥴🤣 - and had to immediately bail out - I dont need another rabbit hole.

…if we would have let the virtue signalers have their “climate contribution” lipodiesel could we have avoided them sacrificing their kids?

better question was offering your child up for sacrifice the original virtue signal?

So gross! …but at the same time I want to take a road trip on my winter weight, lol.

the supply is limited, of course. probably not enough to power the cars of all the employees at the liposuction clinic. a fair percentage of that fat blob is water (if it's real fat and not a plastic simulacrum), and after that you have processing costs, the reagents to convert it to diesel, and assorted byproducts - there's a market for the rendered glycerin, but the protein etc. probably doesn't recycle . . .
scatter the protein around where homeless people are sleeping
decades ago, a doctor I knew (father of a friend) fertilized his roses with expired blood. human blood is donated to hospitals, and the donors are most generous in saving the lives of patients.
but it has a shelf life, or a refrigerator life . . . i'm not sure how long but i think it's just a few days.

and it seems like such a pointless waste to send all this blood or fat or skin or whatever, to the biomedical incinerator.
