Fin asked a question we really wish they hadn't: how long could the human race survive by eating only each other? Short answer: it's a horrible idea. Long answer: the math is surprisingly weird.
In this video, we break down:
🔹 How many calories of "human" exist on Earth, and how long that could feed a minimum viable population
🔹 Whether an all-meat diet would actually kill you (spoiler: organ meat does a lot of heavy lifting)
🔹 The WWII government project that rebranded organs as "variety meats"
🔹 Why disease, not nutrition, would be the real killer
🔹 What happens if half the population eats the other half every month
🔹 Prion diseases, coin flips, and the tournament bracket to end all tournament brackets
⚠️ This is a purely hypothetical, science-based thought experiment. Please do not eat people.
