They really don’t have a lot of room in a physical book to properly represent each and every nation’s vibrant SF community — esp since they want to show works from burgeoning SF communities in countries people might not have otherwise read SF from. They can’t give up valuable space to showcase the same countries every…

No only crazy people would like this.

Let’s think of some other amazing aspects of being alive that we can ruin. Instead of having sex with my beautiful wife I’ve decided to fuck a bowl of cold ramen noodles from now on.

“wouldn’t everyone like to spend less time and money on shopping, preparing, cooking and cleaning?”

That article discussed the opinions of 3 “nutrition scientists”, one of which is a guy who runs a competing supplement company it seems.

This strange insistence that there surely must be something, some unknown “X factor” compound which makes us able to live healthily, and that the actual science of human nutrition has…

How about an alternate title then?

Tut tut. There’s no way soylent is locally sourced nor is it artisinally made, and thus not a fit for the “hipster” crowd.
If you (and by you I’m referring to the whole of the interweb) people need to keep leaning on the lazy, ambiguous term “hipster” you need to, at the very least, codify whatever the fuck it is…

In short, he was envisioning a flash-in-the-pan gimmick. However, while he was dreaming of a super-race of nerds drinking his product, all I can see is a small herd of nose-honkers with poor hygiene clustering together and snickering at the outside world, never knowing the irony. :-)

“Soylent is awesome and seems to be pretty popular in the tech crowd.”

Bah, you and your SCIENCE. You’re a Soylappressive Personality.

Your shit still stinks, dude.

Yeah it’s like Intern accesses PR-blurb-writing-app for the first time

It sounds like something a person in marketing would type in earnest as if there’s some value to that.

Slimfast had the exact same effect in 1982. Of course not eating food will cause a person to lose weight.

Dear Nerd,

You buy in to all of that crap he’s spouting? You do you, I guess, but I’m sticking to that sweet 60 cycle AC.

You have got to be kidding. I linked to an article where scientists who are actually experts on human health weighed in, and said it would be an extremely bad practice to replace food with Soylent. There are certainly scientists who have said it’s a cool idea, but they have also followed those statements up with “but…

Um, no, food is not a “drug of choice”, food is a necessary part of life, both on a biological and a human level. If you are facing health problems because you’re overeating, you need to eat less food, or better food. Soylent isn’t it.

Can someone please tell me why he decided to call it Soylent? It’s like if I named my new-fangled blanket replacement product Humanskins.

How does using Uber cut down on emissions? If anything it creates more emissions.
