Lol glad someone else had this thought. I get that people hate reddit here but this post is inane.

Yo I’m the person the one above was talking about! I was on a Soylent only* (I mean I had other food and snacks occasionally) for roughly 2 years. Lost 10 lbs (I barely had anything to lose to begin with) and stayed in excellent shape. I definitely enjoy food, but not as much as the other things I want to do (video games, movies, d&d, reading, hiking), and I’d rather down a quick shake than spend time preparing something.

BTW Soylent is very tongue-in-cheek in their branding, of course they intended to invoke Soylent Green. As with the stuff in the book, it’s something that’s nutritionally complete that you can subsist on for 100% of your diet.

I mean, it can be miserable after a while, and now they go with: Soylent shouldn’t replace every meal, but it can replace any meal. And it’s great! If I’m going for a run or have a busy morning, I can chug one and I’m all set. And unlike most protein bars, it’s not loaded with sugar.

As far as the communal aspect, I was single at the time I was on that diet, but I spent most of my time hanging with my friends online (World of Warcraft and other online games). I definitely wasn’t starved for socializing, and I look back at that time as a great period of my life.

Hey some of my favorite things are wet textured holes

There’s actually a lot of work going into documenting and replacing lead service lines in the US. EPA required every state to make sure every waterworks submitted an inventory by last October, with grant money through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to pay for it.

The new contract ensures “safety guardrails” around AI, which includes “consent and disclosure requirements for AI digital replica use and the ability for performers to suspend consent for the generation of new material during a strike”.

Great to see. Now we’ll see if this actually ends all of the voice actor strikes in the industry. I know there were a bunch that started due to this strike but actually hinge on the company’s stance on allowing non-union members to remain non-union.

The era of financing gooner skins for your waifu has arrived

She recounts fending off robbers and highwaymen by reciting songs or poems in her native language, French. Together with her unfamiliar European looks, that convinced the often very superstitious Tibetan robbers that she was a witch and to better not mess with her. In case that didn’t work she was carrying a gun.

You’d still want induced flow for better heat transfer though

I mentioned Soylent a while back and someone commented that it was slop. I guess people just aren’t into that.

Jesus, for all the other shit going on, this should be an administration-ending scandal. For all his posturing, the dangerous criminals were granted CLEMENCY

Rofl this is what I most disagreed with as well. 3DS certainly had some bangers, but I think many would list it among the weakest first-party lineups

Folks in those stories had plenty of chances of giving up, only they didn’t.

These authors are being accused of breaking China’s pornography law for “producing and distributing obscene material”. Writers who earn a profit could be jailed for more than 10 years.

The law targets “explicit descriptions of gay sex or other sexual perversions”.

Jesus I thought there might have been some bullshit pretense, but apparently it’s just straight-up illegal there.

My state primaried Burnie Sanders in 2016, don’t put this shit on me

Facebook boomers. Last week’s John Oliver episode covered this topic and featured videos about GOP ‘owning’ people in court. It’s honestly just sad.

I have a decent sense of time and an abundance of options to verify it

I’ve had this exact thought!
