Or we could just start selling placebo tablets and make a fortune. I have some clay in my garden that should be easy enough to shape into pill shapes. We could even paint a few of them red and sell those as extra strong.

Not hurting anyone...

Why waste valuable clay when you can just sell homeopathic remedies?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Um Clay would have an effect. Use powdered sugar and simply compress them into a pill. This is literally one way they do already make placebos in pill form. You can buy a pill press on amazon

Sugar isn't great for diabetics. Wouldn't clay just pass through as it has no nutritional value.

Well sure but you could use other household ingredient that aren't contaminated with whatever might be in your soil.

It was intentional that i said it's one way they already make placebos in pill form.

It entirely is only important if you care about hurting people and not just stealing from them.

Which you seem to since you are arguing over diabetes

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

People eat clay sometimes. IIRC its a famine thing used to bulk out actual food to make it feel slightly more filling.

Pills are tiny. Wtf do you think the soil is contaminated with?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I'm sure they do but not without problems

E coli, anthrax, Lead, mercury, oil, piss, shit, fungus, spores, mold, fucking anything really. You have no idea what's gone into the ground or what it contains. Even if it's "probably" safe why not use a much easier already approved product that has 0 risk associated with it

Unless you are running it through some spectrum analyzer or whatever and have a process to then purify it, it's a bad idea to just ingest something you dug up. And why bother not starting with already human grade ingestible material that you also probably have in your kitchen.

Harmful substances are many orders of magnitude smaller than the tiniest pill.

And no shovels required
