Now what if it's a severed human head?

Or a couple of severed toes or fingers?

What about a clipped fingernail? There's some kind of acceptability threshold here as well.

Speaking of which, what percentage of poo would be acceptable? Does it matter whether or not it's family?

Fingernails aren't flesh; there's no such thing as a dead fingernail because there's no such thing as a live fingernail. It's like shed hair floating in the pool; kinda gross, sure, but not dead body gross

Let's say intact, whole, but otherwise clean fingernails then.

Similar to corpses, it's not the %, it's the accessibility: "How quickly could I be touching a corpse / poo right now?"

How distantly related we talking here? Siblings/parents or cousins? We're not the hapsburgs, no incestuous shit eating in this pool, no sirree.

Hard no, leaking is gross.

What if the head was laminated after it was severed?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How exactly do you propose to laminate a severed head??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I don't know, I'm just the ideas guy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dip it in molten plastic?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

That's not "laminating".
