I read this as firemen and was very confused.
That’s how normal people think. We’re talking about intergalatic drug addicted worm men… and zendaya is there.
Post juicing:
The practice makes sense until you find out that the Fremen have almost unlimited amounts of fresh water that they refuse to drink.
Which they are saving up for a very specific purpose. It still makes sense.
Fertilizer, the pulp is fertilizer.
I don’t have much to add, aside from the fact that I love this post. I’m just here for my obligatory check in.
A man’s flesh is his own. The water belongs to the tribe.

This juicer, while visually appealing with its superior symmetry, pales in comparison to the Nemco 55850.
But to answer your question, there’s a removable/replaceable strainer cone in the bottom half of the squeezy part.
You’re making me want a Nemco 55850.
I swear I’m not a corporate shill but it’s the best fucking juicer ever made. I have to adjust recipes because they’ll be like “the juice of 3 limes” and just no.
me too but i don’t have 500 bucks for a juicer when i can get a decent one for like 50.
But after several generations, you’ll break even from getting more juice per squeezed item!
i’m already giving the shit away we have so much so i think we’ll never actually break even
The question was not about oranges
Where did I mention oranges? The 55850 will juice whatever you throw at it, and unlike the device shown, won’t tip forward when you hit bone.
Personally, I’d prefer to burn my Fremen and collect their steam through a distillation system, but I’m more of an Ixian, myself. And I suppose the Fremen would consider that a waste of nutrients.
So the death stills are so efficient that all of the water gets extracted. So from a 180lb man you should get about 50L of water. (~110lbs)
All that is left is dehydrated organs, tissues and bone - various organic molecules.
You didn’t think they just built all their technology from spice and worms did you? (jk I think they bury the organic remains. You probably wouldn’t want to look at the body after either in any circumstances).
I mean, if it’s being super efficient with all of the water, most of the body will have been gassed into methane and such, a little lipid slick here and there, and only the inorganic mineral contents will be visible. Surely their technology can handle a little rapid putrefaction. Why leave carbonyls intact if you can do a nucleophilic attack and knock off oxygen (as a hydroxyl, sure) to be buffered by a little acid into water?
…calm thy tits, gentlemen, I’m joking…
spoiler
because we don’t use acid, that’s barbaric. Lye is much more appropriate!
Only 2% of the original body mass is left as ‘dry’ material afterwards. Much much efficient!
Squeeze it harder. There’s more juice to come!
Fully grokked fremen style
At least some of it goes back into the “extra pulp” variety of oj
Don’t they bury them in the gardens?
The shriveled up dehydrated snack?
They don’t actually say, but I imagine they do get buried, you certainly wouldn’t enjoy looking at a crunchy human.
