      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!

        ironically slaughterhouses have long since figured out that stress makes the meat terrible, and at this point livestock is probably dying more peacefully than most humans.

    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?

    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?

    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.

    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

    Seems like a real risk for the introduction of prion diseases.

      In lab grown meat there is less risk of prions than in natural meat. Prions occur naturally and accumulate in the body, specifically the brain, because we have no way to get rid of them. In lab grown meat, the risk of acquiring prions through the animal’s diet is eliminated and the risk of the animal acquiring prions itself during its lifespan is reduced, assuming the meat is grown over a shorter period of time. This is true regardless of what kind of animal the meat duplicates.

      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.

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.
