Scientists created bricks with 25 per cent faeces and the rest traditional clay and found the block still managed to pass stringent strength tests.

IMHO, it doesn’t pass the smell test.

Gives “new meaning” to the term “living in a $hit house!”

Used to use a lot of this:

It's dehydrated sewer sludge yet it still had a "fragrance" when it got moist. But it's a great fertilizer for the lawn and nitrogen loving plants.

Scientists have found a way to transform leftover human waste into bricks.

What? They've been watching YouTube videos of primitive living construction.

There are thousands of videos showing the use of manure, clay, sand, and straw being used to make bricks, wattle & daub, and other adobe-type construction.

I’ll pass. I wouldn’t want the house to smell every time the heat came on.

DANG!

“Blocks of dried human faeces could be used as building materials for houses of the future””

OR, you could just use regular bricks like a normal person.

What the hell is this newfound fascination with human feces?

It’s called “waste material”, or “Human Waste”, not Pla Dough.

We’ve really gone to the gutter in America.

"Scientists have found a way to transform leftover human waste into bricks."

This is nothing new.

Our D.I. had us doing that on the first day of boot camp.

You mean some people have just been throwing it away?

The Maasai have been building their houses out of dung from way back:

They also enjoy drinking fresh blood mixed with milk, on a daily basis, as a staple of their diet.
