If I use this to fertilize my veggies, are they still vegan?
There are vegan blood meal alternatives out there to resolve this exact conundrum.
But the reality is, unless your plants are being grown hydroponically in a sealed warehouse or similar, chances are real good that they are feeding on decaying animals (either directly or indirectly) whether you like it or not. They’re mostly insects and annelids and such, but still animals.
I think the issue for vegans is more about whether animal slaughter was involved in making their fertilizer. Dead pillbugs in the soil is just nature doing its cycle of life thing.
The issue for vegans is whether animal slaughter was involved and whether they supported it with their purchase.
Life feeds on life feeds on life, plants don’t care how you died just how your nutrients are able to be absorbed.
Instant coffee for Vampires
As a vampire I finally found a use for my expresso machine
I love the idea of a vampire having kitchen appliances for which they have no use just like regular people.
“Just because I am over 3000 years old, and a creature of the night abandoned by all that once brought comfort, doesn’t mean I don’t entertain.”
Espresso with an S!
It’s counterintuitive since making an espresso shot with a warmed up machine is quite fast. 😜
The best part of waaaking up…
I mean, it says it’s a meal right on the front. /s
Can I use the iron in this to forge a sword??
Ahh, that says you might need ~2.3 kg of iron sand after removing the non-iron from the material. Blood meal appears to be .2% iron by weight. Very napkin quality math says you’d need ~1150 bags to get enough iron
My first thought was if it could be rehydrated and used as a more easily acquired prop blood, as opposed to pig’s blood.
My first thought was “this is a much easier way for a Vampire to eat than stealing from a blood bank.”
If animal blood is acceptable then I’m not really sure why stealing from a blood bank would be a primary course of action in the first place…
Is this an US thing? I’m fairly certain I’ve never seen that in Germany
No, you can find this in garden shops in Europe.
In many cultures blood, sometimes dried is used in cooking.
For example blood sausage and blood pancakes are eaten in finland
Sweden, Ireland, France, Spain and Italy also use them for sausage-like products (these I know of, I’m sure there’s more)
Tumblr goths, ffs.
Let me introduce you to blood sausages…
Fuckin lame ass cosplay suburban vampire bullshit. Most likely teenage but also really gross lame adults. OR…Carrie enthusiasts.
