    It's like a less offputting cauliflower, I really recommend it. It's both beautiful, and quite tasty.

    oh yeah. my biggest life goal is to eat one of everything (with my last meal being something that i'm REALLY not supposed to eat, like a truck) to maintain my position on the food chain so like i didn't totally need the encouragement, but i think it moved up a few steps

    like a truck

    Who wouldn't love to tuck into a big bowl of Mac & Cheese on their deathbed?

    I think we can work with that, I've got a couple shuttle O-rings (not those ones) you could absolutely consume without issue. It's probably not good to eat sharp parts like screws, but chunks of the heat tiles could be put in a pepper mill and used as a topping that way, or as a filler in a dense baked good like a scone. You could also eat any of the shielding foils, the gold foil used to protect against radiation especially would be totally safe and quite decorative.

    i was thinking the heating tiles specifically but those might be a little too fiberglassy for anything besides a last meal.

    I was thinking of the RCC tiles, probably should have considered that the white ones would just be health problems city. But the carbon fibers in the RCC ones are bound pretty completely in graphite, so from all the reading I just did (please help me I desperately need a job all this free time is going to kill me) it should be safe to eat those so long as they're not reduced to, say, a fine dust. Ground down to the consistency of cornmeal though, I can't find anything that indicates it would be a particular risk?
