Desert Planet 101: Dealing w/ Sandworms
This episode comes out on Thanksgiving, and I can’t help but wonder what the holiday would be like if the pilgrims landed on an America that was one giant desert. Would we spend it eating sandworm and mashed cactus? What would pumpkin pie taste like if it was seasoned with the mind-altering spice found on Dune’s Arrakis? These are all questions that we intend to answer this week as we help you survive on a massive, worm-infested desert planet with psychedelic particles swirling about. We also look into desert ecology, which is remarkably lush and vibrant, why sandworms are attracted to disco like rhythms, and how you can drink your own urine and not get grossed out. Plus we once again discuss the age old question of sand VS foam.
How To Drink Freshly Squeezed Humans
Today we decide to take a trip BACK to the planet of Dune, which is a place like none other. In our first episode we talked about the lack of water and how important saving every drop is. Well this time we take a deep dive into that waterless pool to give you as many H2O saving tips that we can. First of all we have to discuss where all the water went and how to get to it. Secondly we have to get you on a very efficient urine reclamation system similar to the ISS. Toilet to Tap as we like to say. Thirdly, and admittedly this is pretty gruesome but necessary, we tell you how to take your fallen comrades and turn their lifeless bodies into about 8 gallons per 100 lbs. That’s a lot of water to squeeze out of a human, but we give you all the deets on how to get it done.
