This is a very serious question. Since what we usually refer to as “weight” is actually mass if we use weight-loss drugs are we technically using weapons of mass destruction? :3c

    Another question, should we be using weight loss drugs when we’re already concerned about the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere?

      Everyone should get fat as a carbon sink? Maybe, if at the end we can have natural burial, but if we are cremated isn’t it all going to be released into the air anyway?

        Now that is something. If everyone in the world just put on 10kg we’d lock up about 83 mega tones of carbon. Then we just need to bury people in a way that gets that carbon locked up on the ground.

          Decommissioned salt mines, next to the iron barrels of un-bound toxic waste that Germany for some reason decided to store there.
