    No, and if you would actually read the sources or dare to think for a few seconds you’d see that.

    Human waste is not spent uranium that kills for millions of years with no way to mitigate that. If that would be the case, we would literally be drowning in shit right now.

    Human feces contain some bacteria that can be dangerous, but that can be dealt with - again, this is exactly what every water treatment plant is doing. What do you think happens with all our shit? Do you think we fling it into space?

      We entomb it in massive concrete caskets with a volume up to 5 000m², lined with plastic to prevent leaking, and when it’s full we cap it and bury it under 3 meters of dirt.

      It used to be around 1-2m wide clay bowls that were filled halfway and there was a variety of methods to cap it off. The reason for famines and things like the black death were people who just buried it in dirt, the cursed crap leeched out.
