Human blood is a valid substitute for eggs in baking.

Huh, so that's why filloas de sangre are a thing. I always found it weird but it makes sense now. TIL.

Human (and animal) blood and eggs can also both be used in place of Styrofoam to gelify fuel for molotovs.

What about soap flakes?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

TIL. So many options to make a molotov nastier. Stinky rotten egg fires!

I learned this from the reverse, as eggs are a valid substitute for human blood in sacrifices.

There's no way. It doesn't taste like eggs at all. Does it? I've never tasted raw egg before

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For it to be a substitute, it doesn't have to taste the exact same. It just has to have similar properties.

Yeah I remember a video called the β€œcumlette”

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is it, though? I get that they have a similar protein composition or whatever, but there's no way the taste is anywhere near the same. Then again, I guess I've never eaten fully raw eggs before (not sure if a semi-runny sunny side up on toast counts, heh).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

But you have eaten raw human bloodβ€½

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I did in a shot. It doesn't taste like egg.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You've never tasted your own blood from like bloody lips and stuff?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Oh, yes, I guess I didn't think of that
