Our fossil fuel reservoirs are drying up. We will eventually need to turn to other fuel sources to power our inventions. One of the central aspects of this dilemma is our transportation and vehicles. So, what if... we found a viable alternative to petroleum by using blood? Instead of using the blood of the earth, we would use the blood of the life of the earth instead. However, human blood would probably be the most efficient and most comparable to gasoline in terms of mileage. The least efficient would probably be something like cockroach blood. Assuming we had the technology, would using extreme biofuels be viable? Even if it were, would you do so to power your cars? I probably would not do so myself, due to it being soylent green 0.5.

I decided to google this issue, and apparently, this is already a thing. Sort of, but using leftover animal parts from slaughterhouses for methane to warm houses. http://observers.france24.com/en/20151207-how-turn-slaughterhouse-waste-fuel quote:For years, waste from the slaughterhouse, based in the city´s Khor area, was either dumped in rivers or in landfills, creating pollution and stomach-churning odours. To solve the problem, city authorities teamed up with the local neighbourhood council and ´Le Partenariat´, a French NGO that has been active in Saint-Louis for thirty years. The solution came in the form of ´biodigesters´, a technology already used extensively across Asia. Biodigesters are oxygen-free vats which contain organic waste from plants or animals. The waste is broken down naturally to produce a renewable energy called biogas in a process known as ´methanisation´. And I did remember reading an article long ago about American slaughterhouses recooking organic waste and turning it into pseudo petroleum because of hydrocarbons and stuff, but sadly I can't seem to find it. However, I am now in greater favor of this prospect than before

a while ago there was an incident where they had to close a highway during rush hour cause a cat got on it. then people were all upset cause they were late for work cause of a cat. but if you take that thought to a logical extreme that means they would literally sacrifice a cat every morning before breakfast if it meant they could get to work 45 minutes sooner.

Maybe not my car, but a few weeks ago it was 118 F here in Satan's salad bowl of California. My air conditioner flaked out, and I would've gladly fed a baby seal and a handful of endangered birds into the loving thing if it would've fixed it.

Would the amount of blood needed be the same as the amount of gas? Would different blood types react differently? Does alcohol content in the blood matter? Is it human blood or will any blood due? Wouldn't the blood eventually coagulate and gently caress up the car?

I think it means they would sacrifice 1/5,000th or whatever of a cat (depending on how many people were held up by the cat) in order to avoid being 45 minutes late. Pretty big difference.
