I was thinking this morning about how there's a lot of homeless and they cause a lot of problems. But what if we both housed them AND turned them into energy? I don't mean using them as fuel for a fire or mulching them. My proposal is that we build camps for the homeless where the homeless are used as human batteries.
There's a technology called "piezoelectricity" which generates electricity through mechanical force. The military looked into this by putting piezoelectric devices in boots to charge electronics, but it was abandoned because it wasn't comfortable. They also have patents to put piezoelectric devices in clothing and you could charge your phone through your own motion, but it probably also sucks to wear. But hobos don't care if they're comfortable since they sleep in tents on sidewalks in encampments surrounded by needles.
There's also the classic treadmill which a hobo could walk on to generate energy. They could be given free injections of fentanyl and meth for good performance if they desired. So this would be a literal hedonic treadmill, where hobos could walk on it all day, maybe pushing a lever to turn a wheel, and every so often they get free drugs. Hobos who refuse drugs could be the capos over the other hobos making sure they do their treadmill right to get drugs. Hobos could even keep their pets and their pit bulls could also walk on treadmills.
Some say this isn't efficient because you have to feed the hobos, but hobos eat literal garbage so they could be given goyslop, malt liquor, and meth to keep the cost of feeding them down. Another problem would be if the hobos were being lazy, which they often are, but then the hobos will just tard rage and could be sealed in a piezoelectric straitjacket so they'd still be good for energy. Although some hobos might die off or OD, they could be converted into fertilizer so they'd still be useful even in death.
Piezoelectric sensors mounted on the body and shoes can produce tens watts of power. They have eco-treadmills that produce 200 watts of electricity. If we assume each hobo is good for an average 50 watts of electricity, that amounts to a lot. Many big cities have thousands of homeless people, so this amounts to dozens or hundreds of kilowatts of energy. These hobo camp/power plant hybrids could be installed in every city to supplement the energy grid, like hobos could all work at night when the solar panels don't work. It's much more efficient than letting hobos simply leech off society's resources, and much more humane than letting the hobos roam about in an uncontrolled environment. Hobos could be literally powering our civilization!
So what do you think Kiwis? Is this how we'll solve homelessness?
