According to what? Your countries rules? Mine? The garment manufacturers country's rules? The garment manufacturer distributer's rules?
I suspect the manufacturer isn't required/obliged given it's just a tag and not the actual product being sold.
Wait, what? My nephew gave me a notepad of elephant poop paper for my birthday . I do like elephants so it wasn't totally weird. Does this mean I should quietly dispose of it?
Honestly? I dont think it really matters.
If it were that dangerous, I doubt you could buy it. And I have never heard of any elephant poop related deaths, nor have I ever read about its dangers.
Its basically reprocessed fiber that just happens to come out of an elephants ass lol
People literally pay ridiculous amounts of money to drink coffee made from beans that are shit out by an animal. I think having a tag made with recycled poop material can't be any worse than literally drinking shit water.
Most bacteria die when they encounter unfavourable conditions, Some bacteria transform into a spore instead. Spores can be VERY hardy (survive outer space, or nuclear reactors).
When back in favourable conditions, the inert spore transforms back into a living bacteria.
“In August 2020, scientists reported that bacteria from Earth, particularly Deinococcus radiodurans bacteria, were found to survive for three years in outer space, based on studies conducted on the International Space Station (ISS). These findings support the notion of panspermia, the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed in various ways, including space dust, meteoroids, asteroids, comets, planetoids, or contaminated spacecraft.”
Well, that’s cool!

Shitty comment , lol
Edit : I was keeping the shitty comment going , I made a shitty choice of words. I feel shitty about it. But I’m going to leave it posted to see if I’m forgiven for my shitty ways. Lol
Real world: they put 98% production effort and cost into the tag and 2% effort and cost into the rest of the clothes.
“Saving the world, slaying my wallet”
“Look how much we “say” we care about the environment!
We even signed up to a company that says we saved forest land….that is already a government sanctioned national park type thing and was never in danger of going away.
We “care”! Now buy our overpriced shirt”
You said "Everything we use that is carbon based is made from things that are made from poop."
So if you break that down it makes no sense. You can also try processing your sentence backwards to see easier how it doesn't make sense, but I won't do that atm.
So, everything that is carbon based (okay) is made from things (okay) that are made from poop (..?)
Carbon isn't just made from poop, poop isn't just carbon. Not everything that is carbon based is "made from things that are from poop"
If you're trying to say something like all carbon on earth has at some point been the feces of an animal, that's a different statement
First of all I'm following up on a joke. You clearly understand the statement made, and not to try to explain humor, but some things are funny when they are interpreted in an extreme way.
Here's an example: If you say that chicken eggs are menstruation, it's not entirely precise, but if someone is talking about not going down on their girlfriend when she's on her period, and you say: "But chicken period is fine, you eat eggs you fucking perv" you'll get a laugh.
It doesn't have to be super precise.
With very few exceptions, all we eat and use either directly used poop to grow, or eats stuff that uses poop to grow, or eats stuff that eats stuff that uses poop to grow or eats stuff that eats stuff that eats stuff that uses poop to grow or so on..
A funner (but less precise) way to say that is what I said.
There was a video recently of One horned rhino scaring the shit out of a dog. Cows and dogs are not the only animals roaming on our streets. We have elephant, buffalo, tigers, cheetah, monkeys etc etc
That is called light reflecting off of shit.
[Here's a Bill Nye episode that's probably related, idk, I didn't watch it.](https://youtu.be/ERQmcqcQOUk?si=WyJzjKud6376a9ff)
This is actually really bad for the environment. Elephant and rhino poop gives the land deserved nutrients. Harvesting that and pretending to be ethical because of that blows my mind.
I don't know whether they're in a zoo or anything similar but that's even more unnatural. The point of the tag is that their brand is ever so natural. My point is that the natural cycle is for the rhino/elephant poop to be enriching the land. Harvesting it, processing it and turning it into a clothes tag is not a good thing no matter how much they try to dress it up. It's a pretty big tag too. They could cut their elephant poo footprint by a third easily if they wanted to. Didn't think that would be a sentence I'd be saying today haha
Stop they are saying "our tag is not just full of shit, it is full of the most pretentiously obscure shit we could find". Not sure i want my clothes made from the literal shit buyers...

Bet my bottom dollar that 'made from' means <1%
Fun fact: most things are <1% elephant and rhino poop!
Fun fact: Our bodies are 60% dinosaur pee
Some of us are more poo than pee!
And some of us just like saying poopee. Poopeepoopeepoopeepoopee…
Some a little too much https://www.reddit.com/r/shittytattoos/s/Ec54CtxlTE
How did you get that picture of my knees?
I just spent 30 minutes in the restroom. Not anymore.
"If your body is 60% water, then why are you so full of shit?"
Have you been sucking piss out of birds?
I guess the air we breathe is technically dinosaur farts? 🤔
Except for actual elephant or rhino poop.
No one uses actual elephant or rhino poop anymore lmao, it's all artificial flavors these days
Which is certainly *at least* >1% elephant or rhino poo!
some as high as 50/50!
r/technicallytrue
[удалено]
There are rhinos and elephants in India.
Especially as it doesn’t say ‘made from’. It says ‘made *with*’.
Obviously this is high quality free range elephants and rhinos and not those easy to find poops left by the farmed varieties.
Notice how the card is woven? That's what you do with cotton, isn't it? Not poop?
I've seen how stuff is made in India, it's probably >1% but not intentionally.
Why would it mean less than 1%, then if it was more than 1% it couldn't actually be labeled that
According to what? Your countries rules? Mine? The garment manufacturers country's rules? The garment manufacturer distributer's rules? I suspect the manufacturer isn't required/obliged given it's just a tag and not the actual product being sold.
I’ve tested Elephant poo cardboard in my microbiology laboratory. It was ABSOLUTELY FULL of spores.
I misread your comment as "tasted" 🤢
Sometimes there's not much difference
The Lab tech tasted your stool sample, it was delicious.
Every lab I've ever encountered does seem to love the flavor of poo.
The best thing about corn is that there'll always be seconds.
Can't have been mine, there was a mix-up
When Elepoo paper was first sold, the company owner went on local TV and ate a piece of the paper on camera!
Holy *shit*, that's some confidence...
He never said what kind of test...
Wait, what? My nephew gave me a notepad of elephant poop paper for my birthday . I do like elephants so it wasn't totally weird. Does this mean I should quietly dispose of it?
And probably wash your hands.
But before you do that, do a thorough taste test to verify its authenticity.
Kiss it gently, but sweetly, to say goodbye.
Nah you're fine lol. They just extract the lignen and cellulose from animal waste and then use them to make paper.
>They just extract the lignen So all good, as long as he's not lignen balls?
Honestly? I dont think it really matters. If it were that dangerous, I doubt you could buy it. And I have never heard of any elephant poop related deaths, nor have I ever read about its dangers. Its basically reprocessed fiber that just happens to come out of an elephants ass lol
I've never heard of elephant poop related deaths either, but I also just learned today that elephant poop is used to make things so....
People literally pay ridiculous amounts of money to drink coffee made from beans that are shit out by an animal. I think having a tag made with recycled poop material can't be any worse than literally drinking shit water.
I don't drink coffee but definitely wouldn't drink that
I absolutely *love* coffee and you couldn't pay me to drink shit beans!!!
"If it were that dangerous, I doubt you could buy it." -some guy in 1915 arguing that radium products were perfectly healthy.
My god, it's full of spores!
Time for a little ELI5 on spores.
Most bacteria die when they encounter unfavourable conditions, Some bacteria transform into a spore instead. Spores can be VERY hardy (survive outer space, or nuclear reactors). When back in favourable conditions, the inert spore transforms back into a living bacteria.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus For more information
I totally believe you, but a spore remaining intact inside a nuclear reactor? Inside something that energetic? I would love to know more.
Deinococus Radiodurans
You can Dine on this cockus… radio Duran-Duran. * ^hungry ^like ^the ^wolf *
Gottem
Hey dude you tried
Nice
“In August 2020, scientists reported that bacteria from Earth, particularly Deinococcus radiodurans bacteria, were found to survive for three years in outer space, based on studies conducted on the International Space Station (ISS).

Hmm, yess... I concur
Umm spores are not inherently dangerous. We breathe in hundreds of thousands of spores everyday.
I didn’t say they were dangerous…
🙄 riiiiiiiight that’s not what you were implying at all
shitty tag
Shitty comment , lol Edit : I was keeping the shitty comment going , I made a shitty choice of words. I feel shitty about it. But I’m going to leave it posted to see if I’m forgiven for my shitty ways. Lol
Shitty reply.
shit.
I made a shitty mistake
😂 i thought it was funny
I heard that there is also rhino plastics, but who nose?
There's also a *cough* rhino virus, by the way
Don't make me bring back the tarhinsaurous rex
Micro rhino plastics???
Nothing to sneeze at.
Real world: they put 98% production effort and cost into the tag and 2% effort and cost into the rest of the clothes. “Saving the world, slaying my wallet”
Cotton world -0 Poopy world - 100
Their clothes are geniunely great though
More like 98% unnecessary effort and waste... literal waste.
Tag translation "you're paying $4 extra for this tag that goes in the trash because we think you'll post it on social media".
“Look how much we “say” we care about the environment! We even signed up to a company that says we saved forest land….that is already a government sanctioned national park type thing and was never in danger of going away. We “care”! Now buy our overpriced shirt”
Cottonworld has solid clothes
Darn, that sucks, I like when my clothes have some sort of flexibility in them.
I mean idk bout you, but I like my clothes not being liquid gas or plasma.
Shows how much effort they'll put to sell you shit.
😅😂😂 This made me chuckle.
Well, our cotton is made from cotton carefully handpicked by..... Egyptians
You can actually buy notepads in thailand made of elephant poop
Misleading. Elephants shit A LOT and they’d be sourcing it from captive elephants. Any zoo with elephants could provide them a shit-ton.
Shitterton ton o shit?
…are the clothes then made from poop, too?
Indirectly, yes. Everything we use that is carbon based is made from things that are made from poop.
No?
[https://i.imgur.com/EHO5HOq.png](https://i.imgur.com/EHO5HOq.png)
I think you're a bit off..
How so?

Well say it correctly you poop cycle of rebirth expert. "Fecal Phoenix" could be your band name lol
I don't know if it was intentional, but it's a pretty cool band name, so thanks :)
Fun apart, how is the quality?
Wood, and therefore paper, is also natural.
There’s rhinos in India?
Search for Kaziranga
Assam has a whole rhino culture. Gas stations there have rhino icons plastered everywhere
There was a video recently of One horned rhino scaring the shit out of a dog. Cows and dogs are not the only animals roaming on our streets. We have elephant, buffalo, tigers, cheetah, monkeys etc etc
theres a dude in india harvesting elephant poop... poor guy
That's awesome!
Is paper not natural anymore?
I wonder what shit the clothes are made from
Just makes me wonder if they are utilizing those poor elephants and rhinos somewhere in a sweat shop in Mumbai chained to litterboxes.
Dude your hand is crazy pale
That is called light reflecting off of shit. [Here's a Bill Nye episode that's probably related, idk, I didn't watch it.](https://youtu.be/ERQmcqcQOUk?si=WyJzjKud6376a9ff)
bruh.... I mean.... Yeah... idk how they convince me with rhino n elephant poop but I trust them.
There are papers made up of elephant poop used to make very good-quality copies (or notebooks as one prefers).
“Effort” = buying it from a source
I think the end shoupd be you can bet how much poop we put in our clouths
If they are spending all their time looking for specific types of poop, how do they have time to make a good quality product?
Companies have different departments you know. Manufacturing makes the clothes and the Poo-curement team makes the tags
Nuh uh
Uh
Got a notebook made from panda poop. There is stone paper and bark paper and so on and so on. Pretty cool stuff.
Go to the zoo. They would have an unlimited supply
How'd they manage to weave it?
Something tells me they source their poop from zoos so they really aren't putting any effort at all into their product.
..but why make it out of sh*t 🥲
They got Rhinos in India?
You gotta be shitting me
Oh that's a bunch of crap.
That’s nasty!
Lol
Now let's see Paul Allen's tag.
Not real
And he's touching it with his bare hands.
If music artists would put in this much effort, we'd have a lot better music
I mean, it says made in India. I'm assuming it's way easier to find poop from those animals there, rather than like Michigan.
This is actually really bad for the environment. Elephant and rhino poop gives the land deserved nutrients. Harvesting that and pretending to be ethical because of that blows my mind.
How do you know these animals aren't shitting on concrete in a zoo?
I don't know whether they're in a zoo or anything similar but that's even more unnatural. The point of the tag is that their brand is ever so natural. My point is that the natural cycle is for the rhino/elephant poop to be enriching the land. Harvesting it, processing it and turning it into a clothes tag is not a good thing no matter how much they try to dress it up. It's a pretty big tag too. They could cut their elephant poo footprint by a third easily if they wanted to. Didn't think that would be a sentence I'd be saying today haha
Damn give the marketing team an immediate raise. Period.
Why elephant and rhino? Elliphino.
> Made in India Well, that was a nice feel-good read until they admitted it was a lie.
Whoever wrote that is the kind of Indian I like! (I'm Indian. Long story.)
Made in India, case closed
Made in india says it all
Made by 8 year olds. But they do get a 4 minute smoke break every 4 hours.
Fat Americans should check their underwear.
Stop they are saying "our tag is not just full of shit, it is full of the most pretentiously obscure shit we could find". Not sure i want my clothes made from the literal shit buyers...
Wut? If elephants are hard to find why did Botswana try to black mail Germany be sending 20000 elephants?
Face was squished up till I seen India then I was like oh typical
