“But…” LOL
Don’t start getting personal with me because you’re failing to prove your point. That is not called for. Your resource says Z E R O about bones. It DOES however back up what I SAID, which is that your commercial composting facility physically grinds up their material:
Step 1 - Food and yard waste is dropped off
Step 2 - Shredding the material
So yeah, before you get on your high horse with me again, maybe read the fucking resource yourself.
I’ve been composting for over a decade here. I do not think that my anecdotal experience overrides all, but if you think you posted scientific proof that solid bones break down at 50C within weeks, you absolutely did not.
I DO think that my decade of direct experience DOES override your bad guesses about what probably goes on at your city facility. Goodbye now. I’ve wasted enough time in this rabbit hole and the vibe is getting shitty in here.
Oh god, I can. Remember TiVo?
That’s why they had to call it that.
Let’s not act like executives are the only morons in this world. Plenty of rank and file are leaning on AI as well.
Sometimes I am preparing a high stakes communication for work and struggling for brevity. I will ask AI for help reducing my word count and I find it is helpful as an impartial editor. I take its 25% reduction, sigh, accept most of what it sacrificed, fix a word or two, and am done. It’s helpful.
Right? That’s the entire point.
When I say my pile was 160 I do not mean for a few hours on a hot day as you said. It was over 140 for a period of 3 weeks and peaked at 160 for about 5 days. Bones came out of that intact.
Heat + bacteria will not make bones disappear in 21 days or 210 days.
I’m not saying the facility doesn’t get hot. It is for sure hot. I’m saying it is not the heat that breaks down bones, but the masticators they use.
Municipal compost is put through a tub grinder, which masticates everything to a fine degree. So even there, it’s not really the heat. They are just grinding it to the point where you can’t distinguish it from other bits of rock and silica in the soil.

Also, I’ve gotten my home compost over 160 degrees F which is considerably hotter. I mean the same pile that these bones have survived.
Practical answer: because they haven’t installed concrete wheel stops on the ground in that parking lot. If that’s a used walkway, they should.
I know, people are assholes, etc. I’m just mentioning a solution that is actually available, where unassholing everyone isn’t.
Let’s run a marathon where everyone is underfed and has foot injuries as well as painful dental problems. I guarantee you more women will finish the race ;D
