So while the discussions.app site is getting trolled with some "human manure" (humanure) posts, I thought I would mention that I think composting human manure is kind of an interesting and important topic.
 
It's kind of like manure from any other animal, full of nutrients. Figuring out how to compost it can close the loop and reduce dependence on a waste water treatment facility.
 
I think it just composts like other things, but you need to let it compost a lot longer to make sure harmful things are destroyed. And might want to spread it on something that's not a food source. Although anecdotally I've heard of people getting treated sewage fertilizer and it growing tall crops.
 
Relatedly I know there was something called "night soil": https://infogalactic.com/info/Night_soil
 
"Night soil is a euphemism for human feces collected at night from cesspools, privies, etc. and sometimes used as a fertilizer."
 
Humanure when dried can also be used as fuel I think.
 
idk how all this works entirely, just opening up for discussion since we had that "manure" theme on the forum
 
Any thoughts on how to compost or make use of human manure?

"Rogation Days" In Catholic Encyclopedia: https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13110b.htm
 
> Days of prayer, and formerly also of fasting, instituted by the Church to appease God's anger at man's transgressions, to ask protection in calamities, and to obtain a good and bountiful harvest

So I've identified this is an issue off and on, my strategy for reducing the problem is to record things to search on a search engine to do at a later time if ever (instead of searching for it, opening up tabs, and then leaving them be accumulated). Or to bookmark open tabs and come back to them.
 
Anyone else run in to this problem and how do you manage it?

A Catholic Marriage Manual from 1958 states (p. 116):
 
(It's this book but you'd need an account to borrow it to check it: https://archive.org/details/catholicmarriage00kell)
 
> "Danger of the working wife [Section Title] ... In 1890, only 4% of married women in the United States were gainfully employed. By 1940, that number had increased to fifteen percent, and by 1956 thirty per cent of all married women held jobs outside the home. ... The wife should work outside the home only in cases of great necessity. Experience teaches that the path of the working wife is strewn with difficulties, both for herself and her family. ... In other cases, if the wife's income approximates or exceeds that of her hsuband [sic], his pride may be deeply wounded, and friction may easily develop over the question of who is head of the household. Work outside the home may also foster traits undesirable in a wife. She may become economically independent, and be less willing to make sacrifices and emotional adjustments to keep relations with her husband on a happy basis."
 
And so on. You get the gist. I am not aware of this teaching being formally rejected in any way and so many "Catholics" would be in violation of it today (?).
 
It also seems to imply the "house husband" arrangement is unthinkable, or a choice for a minority (?).
 
To me the rise of female breadwinners, and house husbands, stems from a rejection of Christian teaching and social norms.
 
Yes, no? What is to be thought of "house husbands" today?

seems like an interesting monitor replacement idea
