Seems a bit unethical if we’re being honest.

Don't worry, the blood will purely be sourced from consenting donors

All I'm hearing are supply issues.

I was talking about the vampires. Aren’t they trapped in an endless prison of extreme torture? Personally I would not want to subject any sentient being to such conditions, not even a vampire.

Well as long as it’s fully voluntary (including being free of economic coercion) I am on board.

They are used to hell, it is their natural habitat

Sounds extremely inefficient and the claims of renewability are debatable.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

It would come down to chasing bottlenecks blood would be a three first problem most likely then how fast can you really produce effective holy water also if you aren't careful about exhaust then you could end up with vampires escaping as dust

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I wouldn't think you would need exhaust —should be a contained system, unless I'm missing something.

However I'm seriously skeptical about the power density of vampire regeneration.
Would a vampire be able to regenerate with even the force required to turn the engine?
And how long does regeneration take?

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

If they where laying down it might be more efficient then it would be closer to just changing the air pressure

[-] towerful@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago

Can increase efficiency by using a pope-compatible person to supply both blood & holywater

Finally, the loophole we so desperately needed!

My own weird fantasy worldbuilding thing:

Common people usually picture the vampires the usual way, as aristocracy living in seclusion in spooky fancy castles. But in actuality, most of them come from lower classes. Vampires had a whole little communist revolution because they had no civil rights (on the account of them being deceased), and set up their own little autonomous grand duchy. Vampires elsewhere get mildly tolerated as long as they behave themselves but still have to work crappy factory jobs... in the Night Shift. (title drop)

Just wait for the zombie engine. :D

That is torture of a human subspecies
