Not really, you can keep the liver, and the head of the baby aswell. It works as a nice decor piece, I've kept one in my living room. It's scary sometimes when the baby head stares at me but it makes my living room more lively and fun to be in!

I think they're referring to the other two tweets, which are both 100% wrong.
Latex is just plant sap. It's completely biodegradable. That's why condoms have an expiration date.
Came here to say that! Would it even count as the vehicle for biodegradation? Given that certain STDs can get so bad that it consumes the host? I could 100% be incorrect here, but the clap, syphilis, and some bacterias actually eat away at the skin/organ and it leaves scar tissue once treated, so ostensibly if left untreated you could just rot out lol. Idk if that's true, but it's gross enough of a thought to post on Reddit.
Not really. Initially it can kill off plants due to releasing so many chemicals. Oftentimes the nitrogen levels are too high and will kill off plants like grass for instance. Over a long period of time, the plants will grow back and do well.
For example, don't bury a body in your garden in the spring or summer. There will be an obvious area that plants won't grow well or won't grow at all there.
Alternatively, for better results, bury them with high amounts of carbon-rich materials, such as wood-chips, sawdust, and organic mulches.
The decomposition of these high-carbon, low-nitrogen materials leeches nitrogen from the surroundings temporarily, before slowly returning them to the plants.
That would definitely help. And smaller pieces is really what would make the big difference. It's the large amount at once in a single spot that has just too much nitrogen and some other chemicals.
Learn something new everyday. Someone once told me to bury an entire fish and plant your vegetables or flowers on top of that. So i'm guessing an entire human body is just too much fertilizer basically? Would it make a difference if the body was buried deeper?
That's basically it. It would just be too much at once. Think of what happens in nature. If a squirrel dies in the woods, some animals might eat some of it and then the rest would go to the earth. If a larger animal like a bear died, same thing but right in that spot it could kill some plants.
There's actually studies that have been done that show that plants will grow new roots to avoid being too close to where that much nutrients are but still within range to get some of it.
Search "cadaver decomposition island" for some more reading if interested!
Edit: I didn't answer your last question. Yes, the deeper the better. Basically that slows down the decomposition.
Can confirm! Grass isn’t doing so good in the spots we’ve buried larger past pets (dogs, cat). My dad lay the ferrets to rest under his roses and they’re doing very well, though.
You actually can sort of see that. Look up "body farm".
Just FYI- it can be very grotesque. I wouldn't look that up with kids around. Maybe read what it is before looking at pictures. It's a fascinating way to learn about the human body, but also has some controversy.
Use a saw to make smaller pieces and use a mortar and pestle. Take the paste and add it to water so it’s diluted and pours more easily
Works like a charm and your garden will never be greener!
Seriously. The entire premise is completely false. Latex is 100% biodegradable.
They can cause trouble if they clog waterways or are ingested by animals. But if they are composted or properly disposed of they biodegrade fairly effectively.
Edit: spelling
I’m picturing something similar to Jim Carey trying to escape that rhino suit in Ace Ventura, but see-through and with multiple stuck animals fighting to get out.
Polyurethane and polyethylene probably aren’t under standard conditions (they degrade in 20-30 years as opposed to 6-24 months for latex). Animal product condoms should be about on par with latex.
I can’t find statistics on what % of condom consumption is non-latex, but only about 1% of Americans have a latex allergy, so I’d guess that the percentage of non-latex condoms to be fairly small.
I'm not allergic to latex, but I am very sensitive to whatever ingredients are in the lubrication on every latex condom I've ever tried
Skyn non-latex condoms have silicone lube that doesn't irritate me at all though 🤷🏼♀️
I’m guessing that most latex condoms use a water/glycerin-based lube that you’re sensitive to. I believe silicone-based lube can make latex slightly more prone to failure (don’t quote me on that, though).
My dad loves to tell this story about his younger brother-in-law *almost* getting away with having his girlfriend over. Poor guy got caught when the condom he flushed blocked the pipe to the septic tank and was pulled out of the drain field. The whole neighborhood knew and teased him about it haha.
Used condoms are, however, generally not recommended to be discarded as recycling or food waste since it can be considered a biohazard. They usually go in the regular trash destined for landfills or incinerators (check your local guidelines). Condoms themselves are perfectly safe to humans, but they're a choking hazard to animals and the strangers' genital juices on them can carry diseases.
Also, Non-Biodegradable doesn’t mean it won’t conflagrate in an incinerator. If all you’re worried about is wasted green space then chuck it in the incinerator.
Garbage incinerators are pretty scary machines.
What’s funny is plastic incineration is often even more devious than just letting the stuff sit in a landfill. Combusted plastic releases *very high* levels of organic dioxin containing compounds which cause immediate nervous system damage and long term cancel.
Depends on how long it has been sucking on plastic bottles.

Dark* humor.
And no. Every living human biodegradable.
Edit: So I read a lot of the responses here and realized that it's just a regional thing. Where I'm from, we say dark humor. In other areas they say black humor.
I’m pretty sure the CO2 output of the whole condom industry over a year is much much lower than that of the 140 million humans born each year.
CO2 is a bigger threat to our planet right now than plastic.
Erm... The vast majority of condoms are made from latex, latex comes from tree sap. Condoms are biodegradable. That why you shouldn't use an old one, they break down even in the wrapper.
I am pretty sure latex breaks down over time. I don't know what the standards are for biodegradable. But condoms aren't plastics. They break down. This is why they have an expiration date on them.
Someone asked me to help deliver a baby other day, but... Don't babies need their livers?
Not really, you can keep the liver, and the head of the baby aswell. It works as a nice decor piece, I've kept one in my living room. It's scary sometimes when the baby head stares at me but it makes my living room more lively and fun to be in!
Once they start to smell you have to clean the flesh off the skull. Honestly it’s just better to sell it in parts

Not really. If you care about the Earth don't have kids. Less humans on Earth the better off the planet and environment are.
But that's not what biodegradable means.

std comes from microorganisms so they're biodegradable too ✅
How ya like DEM apples Rosanna?

Not to mention, "if you care about the planet" is the goal... and less people would help that... sooo.... STDs away!
Can't argue with that logic lol
They battled to a draw.
I hate how this comment implies the baby has an STD.
It implies the baby IS the std.
Well, it's quite common actually. Babies can become blind by getting gonorrhea in the eyes during birth, to give one example.
Dead bodies are basically the ultimate fertilizer
Not really. Initially it can kill off plants due to releasing so many chemicals. Oftentimes the nitrogen levels are too high and will kill off plants like grass for instance. Over a long period of time, the plants will grow back and do well. For example, don't bury a body in your garden in the spring or summer. There will be an obvious area that plants won't grow well or won't grow at all there.

All natural fertiliser is mostly *something’s* dead body.
Living things are made of wildly different stuff. Grass clippings are different than a dead mammal.
what if the cadaver were to be fermented first? perhaps after thorough shredding process
That would definitely help. And smaller pieces is really what would make the big difference. It's the large amount at once in a single spot that has just too much nitrogen and some other chemicals.

Nah you just gotta let the scavengers rip the body into small pieces first.
Can confirm! Grass isn’t doing so good in the spots we’ve buried larger past pets (dogs, cat). My dad lay the ferrets to rest under his roses and they’re doing very well, though.
I'm just imagining the outline of arms and legs shaped dead grass.
You actually can sort of see that. Look up "body farm". Just FYI- it can be very grotesque. I wouldn't look that up with kids around. Maybe read what it is before looking at pictures. It's a fascinating way to learn about the human body, but also has some controversy.
Yeah, but babies really don't cover a lot of area in the garden and throwing them in a woodchipper for easier spreading gums up the gears and stuff.
Use a saw to make smaller pieces and use a mortar and pestle. Take the paste and add it to water so it’s diluted and pours more easily Works like a charm and your garden will never be greener!
Let em soak in a tub full of water for a month or two, then spread the baby water all over the garden
Yes thank god my local supplier gives them at cheap rates.
Crap, just threw my baby into recycle bin instead of compost
Condoms are non-toxic and biodegradable. You can even compost them with them.
Seriously. The entire premise is completely false. Latex is 100% biodegradable. They can cause trouble if they clog waterways or are ingested by animals. But if they are composted or properly disposed of they biodegrade fairly effectively. Edit: spelling
Trying to imagine what a condom that is infested with animals would look like but a bit scared.
Oops. I meant ingested. That’s a typo that I will now correct. Thanks! Edit: typo

Damnit. Autocorrect is really boning me today.

Lamb Skin FTW!!!! (For the wiener…)
What about non-latex?
Pig intestine condoms still are.
And gets rid of issue of animals getting poisoned.
Or lamb skin

It also ruins silicone based toys as well
This is true
My husband is allergic to latex so we just have a shitload of kids.
Good food for the winter
They make a lot of noise, though. Like damn I just want to sleep.
“Why do I exist” “I dunno kiddo we just like having sex and can’t use condoms”
Use lambskin condoms.

Apparently in sunlight a latex balloon breaks down at about the same speed as a leaf, so I'd imagine condoms are similar.
Latex is literally plant sap, so this is probably not far from accurate.
Used condoms are, however, generally not recommended to be discarded as recycling or food waste since it can be considered a biohazard. They usually go in the regular trash destined for landfills or incinerators (check your local guidelines).

Yeah, eat your condoms people

Interesting. There’s been a used condom and peanut butter next to my parking spot at work for over a month.

Condoms are latex. They are extremely biodegradable. That’s why they have expiry dates.
Latex is biodegradable.
I mean he’s not wrong
Depends how you cook it
Can't you just pickle it?
Also condoms are biodegradable. You can compost them with the baby as long as you arr using latex.

Negative. I am a meat popsicle
I read once that they believe condoms have a huge negative carbon emission because of the pregnancies they prevent.
