    I don’t think silver with the consistency of shit will make very good silverware or jewelry. The prompt says the “texture” is the same so maybe there is room for interpretation, there. You can also get 16M for a shoebox of pure gold but that’s a one time deal.

      Okay - I did the math. I’m pretty regular and I poop twice a day. Morning poop and afterwork poop. average human poop is about 8 ounces. A pound a day of poop. An ounce of silver is $32 - so call it $500 worth of silver poop a day. Roughly a salary of 180,000 a year. - for pooping.

      So the 16m gold is worth about 90 years of silver poop - so I’d need to live to 130 years old and have the same poops as I do today as I do at 130 to reach shoebox gold.

      The shoebox doubled is the king option

      Also - my shit would officially not stink. So that’s a thing to consider. It’s not like 180k is a bad salary

        TBH with the correct setup and a lot of leniency on “planting grapes” I could have 16M USD from 1067 acres of grape in a single season, but it would take time to earn the required 4,716,140~ish USD for the purchase of the acres (not accounting for inflation).
