To much iron in your blood

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

These are the required elements for making steel:

  • Iron
  • Carbon
  • Manganese
  • Chromium
  • Phosphorus
  • Sulphur
  • Nickel
  • Molybdenum
  • Titanium
  • Copper
  • Boron

So, iron is only step 1. Humans are carbon based lifeforms, so I'm guessing that carbon is also sorted, that's step 2.

There's plenty of other elements in the human body, like phosphorus and sulphur, but I'm guessing that it's going to take more than 300 adults.

And I'm guessing Gowron has killed a lot more than 300 adults. On an average Tuesday.

Mind you, those might not all be human..

So, add some Romulan blood for that sweet copper.

The pink-blooded Klingons are extra irony.

That or it's Pepto-Bismol. Who knows?

It's a Tums festival!

Yeah, the original "300" was flawed. Not solely because of the percentages, but because of the amount of iron itself you can get out of blood being over estimated by a factor of about 10. Somebody actually did an experiment to find out how much iron you can get from blood, there used to be a video on YouTube of it, and the amounts were way less than the original 300 estimate.

Depends on the grade of steel. If you want stainless steel or chromoly steel, you'll need more nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. Otherwise you can get a mild steel with just the iron, carbon, and trace metals in human blood.

For bonus points, drain a few dozen more folks and use blood serum as your quenching oil to go full fucked up.

Instead of figuring out how to build the enterprise irl humans have decided to work on figuring out how to make a sword from the blood of their enemies

Are ... are we the Klingons in this universe?

If we can't have our warp matrix run on the bones of orphans i can't find a venture capital firm to fund it.

Or just get Mystique to inject some more into that one security guard

I absolutely loved that scene when magneto escapes...

Only farm fresh human blood swords for me and mine.

[-] macrocarpa 3 points 1 month ago

Hey so what happens to unused blood bank blood? Like the red blood cell stuff not the other stuff

I heard it has a life of about a month or so, so I assume it either goes to further research or it's destroyed

If yiu could process blood otherwise intended for destruction, at the scales at which blood is donated in the us, I'd have thought it would be reasonably doable

Incinerated or used for medical/scientific experiments, but it seems that's a small percentage of the blood since they are doing their best to JIT the production chain.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
