      Enjoy your side of kuru! It’s the gift that waits to give, but once it starts, it never stops!

          I mean, it’s probably less likely to happen, but it is a prison disease, which means it can kind of just suddenly happen if a protein folds the wrong way (if I’m not misreading the internet wrong about it)

          Though it seems like you’re relatively safe if you stay away from brain tissue, so I guess you’re probably fine.

          Still, I’ll just ask you what it tastes like before I’d try it myself haha

    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?

    I could see people from onlyfans auctioning their meats. It’s the only natural progression of lab-grown meat industry.

      If this happens, I predict there will be at least one serial killer (or intended serial killer if they are caught before making it to the minimum) that will start there but then will become obsessed with the idea of eating the real thing and will make it happen, starting with some randoms and eventually going for the OF whose meat started it for them.

      Holy fucking hell, that’s a non-chalant way to express a horror movie setting. It sounds like something out of Hellraiser.

    Is it really cannibalism if the meat wasn’t actually from a person? 🤔

      Regarding your username, if you log into lemmy with normal characters, does it let you or do you have to use the emoji letters every time?

        It’s just the display name. Usernames can’t use special characters.

        The emoji letters are just a display name. The actual username, which you log in with, uses normal characters.

      They say you are what you eat, so you eat what you are. Therefore you are a cannibal

    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.

    Regular cannibalism is ethical, it just depends on who you eat

          I mean, if you think about it, up to the advent of vat meat, the only truly vegan many meat was human meat, because only humans can grant consent.

    Technically, I guess.

    Unfortunately, we still seem to be very far away from it replacing our usual way of growing meat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0zCf4Yup34

    ‘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.

    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

    100% I can imagine it becoming a fad for couples to eat lab grown versions of each other’s genitals.

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
