"What about pork? Ham? Bacon?"

"Dad! They all come from the same animal!"

"Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!"

The same process was used to make gelatine. It's still made from animal sources, just with a different process. Enjoy your desserts today, folks.

I have known this for years. Some Muslims tried getting me disgusted about the candy I was eating because it made use of gelatine derived from pig bone marrow. They were shocked I knew but didn't care.

"When a horse falls, foam comes out of its mouth. When it falls, the legs of the horse thrash and the horse is no good... So somebody shoots it. The horse turns into glue. A machine puts the glue into bottles and children squeeze the bottles to get the glue out and stick bits of paper onto cards. Glue gets on the children's hands and the children eat the glue. And the children become the horse."

The Tracey Fragments by Maureen Medved (also a movie)

Wikipedia: Animal glue is an adhesive that is created by prolonged boiling of animal connective tissue in a process called rendering.

How much glue can i render with a 7800XT?

Glue prices are down. I'm not sure if this is economical.

A little lower, Li, but close enough!

That's right everyone, glue is made out of Horse Cum.

They don't exactly get a Sony PlayStation for retirement.

Weird, because in Hungary it has always been cattle, while in Anglo circles it's horses.

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Sniffing glue? More like sniffing horse.
