Ngl that's a really interesting idea.
Also, there's a typo in the article. They call it both "LignaSat" and "LignoSat," but I'm reasonably confident the actual name is "LigmaSat."
What’s a ligma?
Ligma Satellite!
Wait
Ligma deez nutz!
Nothing, what's a ligma with you?
Ligma deez ice creams LOL GOTTEM
Not much, whats up with you?
lmao gottem
balls.
Lignin is a major protein in wood, so LignoSat or LignaSat would make sense. LigmaSat loses that relationship with wood. I think LignoSat is probably correct.
