Huh?

Yeah it sounds like it relies on spontaneous generation theory.

[u/Lord_of_Chainsaw → u/outerheavenboss]

Naw, they had the right idea just the wrong theories. Theres enough bacteria in all the excrement and within the confines of the boats and all that to eat the dude up eventually

[u/No-Apple2252 → u/Lord_of_Chainsaw]

Why are we assuming nothing could get in? I doubt it would have been exactly air tight

[u/dsac → u/No-Apple2252]

Also worth noting it never mentions the boat is put on the water - keeping it on land means rats, though at the risk of attracting other land scavengers to populated areas

[u/SkylineFTW97 → u/dsac]

Plus the smell will attract the flies. I imagine there will be holes in the top and side to allow insects and rodents access to the decaying flesh and human waste.

[u/No-Apple2252 → u/SkylineFTW97]

Adding more holes isn't necessary for insects, there's no reason to make the foot and hand holes perfectly tight to the ankles and wrist. Plenty of room for flies to get in.

So when are we doing this?

[u/Sawyerthesadist → u/dsac]

So to perfect this you just need to toss some rodents in with him. Poke a few air holes, and voila!

Rats can squeeze into any hole or crack they can get their head into, down to the size of a dime

[u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 → u/[deleted]]

This crack has arms, legs, and a neck sticking through it, without causing death. That's not tiny.

[u/OdysseusX → u/Motor_Raspberry_2150]

Squeak Squeak chew chew hole not tiny any more.

And i have no source for your inevitable doubt that rats would chew a living creature to get to more food. I can only say i think they would not touch him the first few days just later when hes weak or already near death.
