It's not as fun without the suffering.
It's like reverse lobsters. You gotta be able to taste the fear. 🤌
Don't worry, our source cells are from the most depressed individuals we could find. And our workers are the poorest immigrant pre-teens to ensure maximum suffering.
Don't forget to try our human tiddy sour cream, it's sourced from the same pre-teens!
So far, there's still suffering in lots of convoluted, drawn-out, disturbing ways : ( hoping they can quickly advance technology past the current methods
With every passing day I come to regret more and more my ability to read.
You want some of this? You want to really eat this? Hit the button and subscribe, and you'll get monthly shipments of meat grown from various parts of my body!
Thighs would be easily the tastiest part, should be more expensive imo
Regular cannibalism is ethical, it just depends on who you eat
I could see people from onlyfans auctioning their meats. It's the only natural progression of lab-grown meat industry.
I hate that you're right about this
The dildo industry in general is gonna be filled with even more realism.
Holy fucking hell, that's a non-chalant way to express a horror movie setting. It sounds like something out of Hellraiser.
Hellraiser 10: The Fundraiser
we've never breed humans selectively for tastiness
Look for the ones that drink a lot of beer. It'll be like Kobe beef but human.
the Morlocks have entered the chat
Seems like a real risk for the introduction of prion diseases.
Hmmmmmmmm I thought prion diseases were (usually) a result of eating brain matter and occasionally the result of eating non brain matter that shared a body with a brain. By this understanding, the risk of prion diseases wouldn't be a factor as only the misfolded proteins of a brain are ones that can be risky.
A prion is just a misfolded protine that has some adverse behavior that your body can't detect (there's a mechanism that if your body identifies a malformed protine, it will terminate the cell making it). Anyway, prions live in this small region in a Venn diagram whereits can't be detected, but can still replicate and cause harm.
We mostly think of prion diseases (like mad cow) affecting the brain, but I dont think prions are isolated to the brain... Prion deseases happen to involve the brain a lot because a misbehaving protine in your brain will have a lot more apparent effects
But you could knock out the prion protein gene in the cell lines you use for meat production. It’s not needed for cell survival as far as I know.
"cannibal" is a derogatory term. Nowadays we prefer to be called gourmetally challenged.
Vegetarianism: the custom of eating vegetables. So I guess we are witnessing the birth of humanitarianism.
"Gourmetally free", surely, without the oppression of the squeamish crowds?
Eat a steak made of the cells of your favourit celebrity.
future billion dollar idea right there
Eat The Kardashians
Including the microplasics
Now with really inserts!
Literally eat the rich.
Thanks, that reminded me of the story of "Perfume" again.
I can see someone submitting a DNA sample to Ancestry and watching the horror/drama unfold.
What would be worse - finding out the sample came from a missing person, or someone who never offered the donation?
This was the Mormon agenda all along.
Is it really cannibalism if the meat wasn't actually from a person? 🤔
They say you are what you eat, so you eat what you are. Therefore you are a cannibal
Why would we eat lab-grown human when there are so many delicious animals to be had?
Secondly, A1, Heinz 57 or Lawry's?
A1 for steak, 57 for burgers, only used the Lawrys marinade but now I gotta try some of the sauce.
Agreed though, why go for long pork when pork pork is already so tasty?
Just s & p, that's for me
This is the next Black Mirror episode for sure
In Arthur C Clark's 1964 short story "Food of the Gods" a synthetic- meat company came out with a very tasty and great-selling product. Turns out it's cultured human tissue.
There's also the film Soylent Green (1973), though that isn't lab-grown human tissue
'The Ophiuchi Hotline,' by John Varley. A food engineer is sentenced to death after the authorities discover that her 'banana meat' tree has human DNA. Great read.
Could I grow my own meat and then tell people to eat me?
Reminds me a bit of the plot the movie Antiviral but with meat instead of illnesses
We could see the advent of ethical and unharmful autophagia
I told my friends that if this happens I would want to taste it.
I am still hearing about it...and I think I will hear about for a looong time.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
