Comment on It's always Brassica
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 hours agoI think we can work with that, I’ve got a couple O-rings (not those ones) you could absolutely consume without issue. It’s probably not good to eat sharp parts like screws, but chunks of the heat tiles could be put in a pepper mill and used as a topping that way, or as a filler in a dense baked good like a scone. You could also eat any of the shielding foils, the gold foil used to protect against radiation especially would be totally safe and quite decorative.

i was thinking the heating tiles specifically but those might be a little too fiberglassy for anything besides a last meal.

I was thinking of the RCC tiles, probably should have considered that the white ones would just be health problems city. But the RCC carbon fibers are bound pretty completely in the graphite, so from all the reading I just did (please help me I desperately need a job all this free time is going to kill me) it should be safe to eat those so long as they’re not reduced to, say, a fine dust. Ground down to the consistency of cornmeal though, I can’t find anything that indicates it would be a particular risk?
