Texans’ rattler diet, recycled humans, and, ahem, Puber
San Francisco vs. illegal dumping
Maybe you’re not quite ready to commit to using human remains as compost to fertilize your garden. Perhaps you want to start off only using human poop as fertilizer, see how that goes before sprinkling Grandma all over your tulips.
Well, if you’re looking for a sweet deal, we’re certain San Francisco can work something out with you because, in the past 7 years, incidence of human feces in public places within the city has quintupled, rising from 5,500 reported cases in 2011 to 28,100 cases in 2018.
The problem, likely related to an increasing homeless population who can’t afford San Francisco’s exorbitant rental prices and have limited access to public restrooms, is so bad that the city commissioned a “Poop Patrol” in the summer of 2018 to wipe down some of the poorer, more suspect neighborhoods.
While the upstanding members of the Poop Patrol are almost certainly doing a fine job, it’s probably safe to say that human fecal clean-up is an industry ripe for disruption.
We look forward to the inevitable Silicon Valley start-up and for the media to hail it as “Uber, but for poop.”
