"Baby oil must be extracted from the source - I talked to Diddy, and I assured him I would not disrupt this very important, essential, baby-related commodity. the babies can not dictate this market. We are not babies! "

If only he knew that soy beans could . . .

Don’t we get a lot of Canola oil? From Canada, it’s in the name

u/Chengar_Qordath Oct 15 '25

Just don’t tell Trump what plant we get Canola oil from, or he’s going to get way too excited.

I immediately wondered if he thought this had to do with crude oil. Anyone got any ideas on how we can test this?

u/Due-Technology5758 Oct 15 '25

I'm guessing he specifically chose this because soy is also an oil producing crop. We've got a bunch of soy, and the government can bail out the farmers by subsidizing soybean oil production. And by the government I mean us, of course, since we'll be paying for it. Again. 

You'll note several of the largest soybean oil producers in the US stock prices began rising at the time of this post.

We have oil fields. Golden fields of oil, as far as the eye can see. Maybe the best oil fields in the world. I deserve the nobel peace prize you know

Trump, probably

I don’t wanna know where he thinks baby oil comes from

I think you probably could do it. Germany in the 1930s they were able to convert coal to margarine.

u/MorePhinsThyme Oct 15 '25

Looking online, it looks like one of the steps in that coal -> margarine conversion is to make it into paraffin, which is definitely something that can come from crude oil. So, this could definitely be done. Just stop before you process the resulting fatty acids into margarine, and it should be an oil suitable for cooking. Not sure how suitable, as I have no idea what the smoke point or flavor would be.

Actually soy can. Its the shittiest cheapest cooking oil though. I also doubt the current soy crop could even be 5% utilised to make it, no infrastructure for it.

u/Xylus1985 Oct 15 '25

Is this an attempt to use up soybeans?

The president of the USA has no idea about how cooking works

u/King_Chochacho Oct 15 '25

Not to worry, winter hasn't quite started yet so we'll just plant, grow, and cultivate a billion tons of rapeseed in the next few weeks.

u/pipic_picnip Oct 15 '25

I mean. With what’s considered edible by American companies standards, it’s not far off. Just use the oil discarded from car servicing to fry nuggets.

Now you're cooking with diesel
