From Assy To Ashy: AshPoopie Pet Waste Picker-Upper Burns Turds While You Wait

This is the "didn't give the name much thought" AshPoopie, a pet waste picker-upper that burns dog turds and turns them into ash. My God that must smell good.

The AshPoopie is the brainchild of scientist Oded Shoseyov from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is aiming to reduce the huge number of plastic bags full of poop that end up in the trash all over the world.


A built-in pooper scooper on the bottom picks up the offending material. It combines it with the contents of a replaceable cartridge and what looks like a set of rotating paddles. At this point, some patented incinerating magic happens and out comes sterile, odorless ash.

Hey, I'm all for less waste in landfills, I'm just NOT for carrying a shit-burning stick on dog walks. Besides, if I turn all my dog shit into ash, then what am I gonna set fire to and throw on old man Jenkin's doorstep? "I dunno -- your own waste?" *squatting over brown lunch bag* Haha, I'm already one step ahead of you.

    This is a machine in Mexico that, in exchange for your dog's buttnuggets, provides free Wi-Fi for the surrounding area. Sure you could just fill the thing with rocks and it wouldn't know the difference because it's just a stupid machine, but that's what stupid machines are fo... / Continue →

    You know how they say people look like their dogs? That's because most people are ugly (alternatively: pugly). I don't look anything like my dog. I look like something Michelangelo would have carved out of marble with a diamond dong, and she looks like she's licking her vaj ... / Continue →
