Here is the link to the scientific study behind this:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-54874-4.pdf

Python meat consists of 51% Proteins and you have to feed them just 2.4 times of this amount of protein (they don't eat plants so you would have to consider the amount of protein you had to feed to the animals you feed to your pythons). This is better than Beef (for 83g protein in feed (only plants) 1g protein in beef).

An interesting part is that snakes don't spend so much of their energy on heat production/controll, so the meat producer can substitute this with other forms of energy like electricity generated from the sun.

But of course, compared to Plants...(1g of plant protein is 1g of protein for us)

"Snakes: The new, high-protein superfood"

"Pythons are a low-emission, climate-resilient food source, converting feed to protein better than chickens or cattle, new research has found."

As per this article:

"Farmed pythons may offer a sustainable and efficient new form of livestock to boost food security, according to new research from Macquarie University.

A study in two Southeast Asian commercial python farms led by Honorary Research Fellow Dr Daniel Natusch from the School of Natural Sciences, found pythons convert feed into weight gain remarkably efficiently compared with conventional livestock such as chickens and cattle.

"In terms of food and protein conversion ratios, pythons outperform all mainstream agricultural species studied to date," Dr Natusch says.

"We found pythons grew rapidly to reach 'slaughter weight' within their first year after hatching."

Snake meat is white and very high in protein, Dr Natusch says."

Well ... okay ... but, I do have some questions. First of all, what was the old high-protein superfood? Do python farmers/ranchers brand their livestock? And, how do the PETA people feel about this whole python farming/ranching thing? And, most importantly, is it true that python tastes like chicken? And, how is python served anyway? Will Python McNuggets® be on the menu? Will a special sauce be concocted just for python? Will wearing python leather boots then be considered "Green Fashion", or even become haute couture? I could go on, but you get the idea.

Quote from: Brother Mythos on March 19, 2024, 04:16:16 PMYes, I saw that! Was that place the inspiration for your yellow submarine, or was it just a coincidence?

Mostly a coincidence, but I guess a somewhat expected one, since both are ultimately/presumably references to the Beatles' Liverpudlian roots!

The Lost Doctor is embodied by legendary actor and theater producer Ken Campbell, who put on a massively successful theatrical version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy, originally staged in Liverpool.
The yellow submarine being exhumed is Hagbard Celine's from the trilogy, which is originally a reference to the Beatles' Yellow Submarine.  :fnord:  :fnord:  :fnord:

Update. Been sitting on this for about one week, because it sucks.

The COVID I got because Wal-Mart infected my live-in partner (well. more on that soon) demolished my health. I have long COVID. I went from "mildly disabled" to "most days, drinking water or rinsing a dish is too hard".

My live-in partner is now my ex. We are dying of poverty, and we will both be homeless if I don't leave in May. I don't want her to be on the streets, so I will in fact go.

I have no next steps left. Everyone has run out of the ability to help, and they can't even hope I could potentially contribute or become self-sufficient now, because I'm too broken. It's the last stop: some place in Wisconsin.

I have until May, plus change for however long I manage to scrabble out survival before COVID, cops or starvation catch up with me.

I forget if I owed anyone here anything. If I did, let me know. I can't promise I'll get to it, but I can promise I'll try.

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / An Open Letter to TGRR

Dear Roger,

You've been gone a while.  Maybe sulking, maybe dead, hard to say.  Either way, I'm better off without you.  You were, in medical terms, a schmuck.  You were always so damned eager to make friends, and you never were invited.  To anything.  People just didn't care if you were around, and that bugged you worse than if they outright hated you. You were a cypher.  Ranting your guts up is fun, but it's not a personality.

Me, I can take people or leave them.  You should try that, assuming of course that you're not pushing up daisies.  I mean, everyone left you.  Not in a cloud of anger or hatred (for the most part), just disinterest.  It's been that way since you were a kid.  Always picked last for sports, that sort of thing. 

You always had this idea that you could help people.  Like you were some kind of "savior," though you couldn't even help yourself.  The only time you were worth a shit was at that chaotic Goddamn chemical plant, and only because you knew how to make things work with minimal craters.  But when you left, you weren't really missed, were you?

No, you weren't.  And the reason you weren't is the same reason you crashed and burned here.  It was your huge Goddamn validation addiction.  You got online and suddenly you got to be the center of attention...At least until people met you in the real world.  Then you sort of faded into the background, just like you always have.  A ghost.  Someone people used to know.  Just a face in the crowd. Another Tucson loser, who loses not because of failures, but just because you weren't meant to win..  "Not invited" is in your DNA, stupid old man.

Here on the other side of the looking glass, things are doing nicely.  I've been really indulging myself doing great things for bad people.  Things that might actually negatively affect our species survival.  Fuck those humans you value so much (your rants not withstanding).  They are almost universally balls of shit, and the ones that aren't are just collateral damage.

You never learned, did you?  You never understood that if you can't be a hero - and you can't - then be a villain.  It occurs to me that your aborted series Life During Wartime had a profound affect on me.  So there's that.

In closing, you miserable little fragment of a person, let me just say that I hope someone remembered to put a stake through your heart before they buried you in whatever landfill was available.

Love,
Doktor Howl

I'm listening to this today in honor of ex-TFG aide Peter Navarro finally being sent to prison:

I Fought the Law - The Bobby Fuller Four

I hope to enjoy listening to it again and again, as more high-ranking members of the Republicult™ receive their just rewards.

I was delighted to discover there's a party/play place called "Yellow Sub" right down the street  :fnord:  :fnord:  :fnord:

Quote from: Finnius on March 18, 2024, 08:10:32 PMI used to think this guy was ok...like Dave Letterman.
But then he started pushing his "Vax-Scene" which I originally thought was a mock.
BUT he was triple-dosed with the Clot-Shot. So obviously he was supporting it...in a "fun" way.
Supporting a fake vaccine that kills humans = ++ungood

I hereby revoke his status within Discordia.
