Dust in homes is composed of about 20–50% dead skin cells. The rest [...] is composed of small amounts of plant pollen, human hairs, animal fur, textile fibers, paper fibers, minerals from outdoor soil, burnt meteorite particles, and many other materials which may be found in the local environment.
The commonly cited number that 70% or 80% of house dust is human skin is likely not true for most houses, however. According to a 2009 study of house dust in the U.S. Midwest, 60% of the components of the dust came from indoors, and 40% came from dirt and other materials tracked in from outside. That indoor 60% included everything from organic fibers to building materials, not just shed skin.
I mention that whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
They are not carnivorous because they are not using the dust as a source of nutrition/energy. Besides, an animal that eats dead skin (like dust mite perhaps?) would rather be classified as a debrivore, and most meat-eating animals (or at least the ones that eat mammals), from wolves to pigs to crows to various invertebrate debrivorea, would happily eat a dead human or at least a part of them if provided with one, but are yet to start actively hunting us, save for some very rare exceptions.

It's actually fibres from fabric. If they rise up they'd eat our clothing and not our flesh.

(I would know that there's dead skin cells in there, because I'm allergic to dust mite poop. And dust mites feast on dead skin cells...)

Unsure if Zavala or Dr. Manhattan

That's Zavala. I was half expected a meme about how whether we wanted it or not we stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars.

kind of macabre considering Lance Reddick died nearly 2 years ago.

It's only cannibalism if another human is doing the eating.

I believe the meme says carnivorous, though now I'm just imagining a roomba sweeping up lots of smaller little roombas XD

A statistically significant amount of it is also extra-terrestrial cosmic dust.
