I miss confessions like that which were available for plenty in reddit.

Happened at Kent state, I believe. There was an old story from Inuits about a man who was being forced off his land, so he refused the leave, and they took all of his gear and clothing, hoping he would go with his family rather than freeze to death. He then allegedly pooped, fashioned it into a knife, and killed a sled dog for the hide so he could survive.
The story was recorded by a reputable person (though probably told to him by Inuits that thought it was hilarious). In order to prove it was possible, or not, this experimental archeology lab tried it out. Hilariously enough, they tried to do it while on a regular “western” diet, as well as an “inuit” diet of mostly fish and very little fiber.

What a shitty piece of research.

90% sure I read about someone doing this about a decade ago. It was the joke of my friend group for weeks after.

Now, download the paper and read the “Materials and Methods” section, if you dare.

Wouldn’t anything like the theoretical poop knife just be an ice knife with less structural integrity?

Should this be cross-posted to Lemmy Shitpost?

The replication crisis is way too real.

Silly. Prison shanks mix paper and plastic with poop, not just poop alone.

According to this one YouTube channel, knives made of other exotic materials like jello or underwear may be effective though

It’s real. I posted it in here at some point. The supplemented pictures are amazing.
