I know it’s the most expensive liquid by fluid oz, but is it more expensive than gold by weight too?
Gold is 19.32 Kilograms per litre. 1kg is 35.274 ounces. One ounce of gold is currently 3429 USD. So one litre of gold is 3429 × 35.274 × 19.32 = 2325956 USD.
Printer ink is 23.05 USD per litre per bulk refill, but standard desktop cartridges typically hold just between 3 to 10 milliliters of ink, costing USD 20 to 50, so USD 200 - 16666.
So no. But ppl are definately ripped of depending on what ink packs they buy. Easy to check with gold.

https://bchtechnologies.com/blogs/blog/how-much-ink-is-in-my-hp-cartridge-is-there-a-way-to-make-hp-cartridges-last-longerThanks for doing the math, also I haven’t bought printer ink in almost 20 years, after the last time it asked for yellow to print a b/w page. I still have my old wide format epson in my damn attic though, mostly since I was planning on using the motors and linear rails for a camera mount someday.

Pretty much all of human history really. We cannot self govern without segregating into the haves and have nots.

We can self-govern fine without this dichotomy, it's just that the "haves" don't want you to think it's possible and they have the means of reinforcing their narrative, and the have-nots do not have a voice.
While yes, it's been this way for a long time, it's not the rule and no more required to our survival than a thousand other false essentialist ideas we've discarded along the path through history.

Can you actually eat dirt? Is it good for you?
Even worms don't "eat dirt" they eat biological material like decaying plant matter. And it depends what kind of "worm" we're talking about here. There are countless varieties that eat different things.
But animals that eat pure minerals directly from the Earth? Not many.

become solar panel
Do you have any mail-order companies where I can get ahold of phytoplankton that I can absorb into my body and form a symbiotic relationship with so they can convert sunlight to energy and supply me with excess?
Last time I tried I just got really bad gas.

A single gram of uranium contains about 20,000,000,000 calories of energy. That's enough calories to keep you alive for about 27,000 years. Eat uranium to become immortal.
Instructions unclear, ate urine and became even more mortal.

So what does fecal matter count as? For example my chickens eat the plants, then process it. Then the worm population skyrockets in the dirt where they live, and of course many of them get eaten by said chickens as well, but overall the population has still increased noticably.
Is the chicken's digestive track just considered part of the composting process? Or is that only once it hits the ground and started getting rained on
It's actually more complicated than I bet most Lemmy users can comment on, there are so many varieties of worms, different kinds of topsoil and interactions, and the idea that animal feces can vary wildly in composition and starts undergoing chemical changes as soon as it contacts air.

Yeah that whole niche was kinda taken over by the flora kingdom early on jokes on them though we have SpongeBob on our team! He lives in a pineapple showing the innate superiority of animals over plants.
