So poor people could eat grass? Would the production of the enzyme be cost effective? Grain already is cheap.

It's not as simple as that, lactose is a tiny molecule by comparison to cellulose; 2 sugar units compared to several hundred.
Breaking down cellulose into individual monomers is a pain in the arse of a process, under body temperature conditions it takes quite a long time to fully digest.
This is why cows have multi-chambered stomachs and rabbits eat their own shit.

Even if you did consume the right enzymes, your intestines would get clogged with hardly-digested plant matter very quickly.

So you're saying it would work if you would also eat your own shit?

First I start by waking up. Then I focus on things that I find relevant that day. After I go to bed.

that's all?

one time i spoke with a lecturer and when i got up from my chair i noticed i left a huge ass sweat mark on it, i looked at it for half a second and I must've had a surprised look on my face something like "oh, wow, interesting" because the lecturer then immediately looked at what I was looking and noticed the ass sweat too. He stared at it for a fraction of a second but had a look on his face that expressed disgust and contempt.

>>8771611
I always leave ass sweats on chairs and people notice all the time

i like to think that they analyze me and try to mentally insult me and critique me. I bet they're all like "man living life as an autist must be hard, that guy is laughable, leaving ass sweats everywhere, he is full of anxiety and depression, his ass sweats will be the only thing left of him in this world after he dies. A truly pathetic autist, he has no future."

a few weeks ago I was so fucking tired that I really had to take a stimulant, I had to have some coffee but fuck paying 1.2 pounds for a shitty espresso from Nero, I went to the supermarket and bought a small bag of Lavazza, for 3.75 pounds, the best shit there is, and I went to a uni bathroom and just ate some coffee

eating it makes you absorb 100% of its caffeine

other methods of preparing coffee are not as efficient

it is called a table of contents to a book

Yes but I'm talking about one for all of human knowledge that you can zoom in on like Google Earth

>Can knowledge just not be arranged like this
This.
Any tree of knowledge can be formally encoded into ZFC set theory (with sets as nodes and membership as arrows), and as with any formal system, set theory is known to be incomplete qua Godel (and Tarski).

>go find a book about something you know nothing about
wow that was hard

If you need a new challenge, you can try biology

>>8770009
So I just grab a random book from a subject I don't know anything about? For what purpose, though? At least before I was building upon years of understanding.
>>8770012
Biology always interested me, especially plant life.
Where to begin, though?

It would mean that an artist and a picky fucker are equivalent.

>Is showering daily bad for your health?
The question should be: is stripping grease and bacteria from your skin with aggressive chemicals good for your health?

I try not to use shampoo often.
I do not use antiperspirants.
I carefully wash my armpits with hand soap though.
I don't use shaving foam, I shave after a shower.

I don't stink and I don't look dirty.

>>8768277
Why do we shower? Why do people say to shower everyday? Why do you use soap to wash your body? Why do you use shampoo?

Is shampoo and soap necessary?
