I remember reading a zine article about her dj set in Sydney years ago and she's actually worse behind the decks than you would have thought.

I eat for $50 a week. Soylent to keep me at 3,000 kCal would cost me $300. Eating out isn't going to make that any cheaper. What I eat is actually enjoyable to consume too, it is a varied diet based around what is in season and I feel like at the time. Soylent is worse in every possible way than eating well. All for the 3 hours a week I spend preparing meals in bulk and refrigerating.

Historically, we underestimate how much our ancestors, especially people in cities, ate out. There was also a mass disruption of our food history from 1920 to 1950 between prohibition, food shortages, the world war disrupting the passing on of culinary traditions, and new technology making old preservation methods obsolete while raising their own issues. Practically, if you're that anxious about spending too much time cooking food, there's a whole lot of things you can do without cooking, like sandwiches, or things that take basically no time to cook like eggs or ramen. Canned food is real easy to eat. Cut off a block of cheese. Get something you can just pour into a bowl straight out of a bag. Buy a bagel and just swallow it whole. Drink soup out of the can without heating it. It's not that bad. There's really no reason to buy into soylent. Even if you want a bland nutri-slurry, there's better things on the market.

I used to be friends with this sort of "future-minded" right-wind tech bro guy (back before that was a thing anyone knew about). Soylent is right up his alley as he considered eating to be a chore and a waste of time. He hated trying new or different food and would just eat the same things all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if he was into the Soylent thing by now.

Or maybe they were that way all along but the confines of youth and such didn't let it all come out. I had no idea he was a radical Catholic (yes they exist) full on Rush Limbaugh dick-sucker conservative until we met up again as adults. We're not friends anymore.

I actually don't mind Soylent. The chocolate flavor is pretty good and I have a soft spot for it because it helped me through a really rough period of depression. I couldn't even get out of bed to make a sandwich or whatever so I kept a box of Soylent next to me (it doesn't have to be refrigerated) so I could be sure I was getting sustenance. I liked it because it was specifically a meal replacement that had 400 calories per bottle, whereas Ensure has only 250, I believe, and at the time I associated it with weight loss. Maybe there were other options I could have chosen but a friend told me about Soylent and I liked it. -shrug- That said, I totally agree all the tech bros who are into it and the company itself are obnoxious.

Hentai Jihadist posted:3k calories aint that much an under-socialized libertarian software engineer who thought chewing food was an inefficient waste of time bought a chemistry textbook, and decided it made him a nutritional expert. so he bought a bunch of nutrient supplements off the shelf from grocery stores and chemistry supply stores, threw them together in a blender, and posted the results online as a meal replacement wonder drink. and yes, he named it after the stuff that was made out of people it took off among sociopathic joyless hacker types, so he put it on Kickstarter and crowdfunded the creation of a company to sell it

Soylent is a microcosm of the diseased mind that is unfortunately common in engineers or “engineers”.

It's the logical conclusion of the min-maxing computer mindset that lots of tech types have. Life to them is like computer code -- anything less than 100% optimized efficiency in life, health, and work is foolishness and must be avoided. This makes them feel like amazing supergenius biohackers, while in reality they're joyless spergs with machine hearts and machine minds. The same guy who invented Soylent also wears utilitarian polyester jumpsuits and throws them away instead of washing them because he wants to be 100% water efficient.

I make myself smoothies for lunch out of fruits, vegetables, and nuts with a whey isolate and coconut oil thrown in because I work a calorie intensive job. It costs me like 20 bucks for 7 meals if nothing is on sale and it tastes good and takes like five minutes a day and half an hour on sunday to do.Dynastocles posted:It's the logical conclusion of the min-maxing computer mindset that lots of tech types have.

Easy Diff posted:Soylent is literally just Slim-Fast or Ensure, but marketed at ~*disruptive techbros*~ instead of women going to a 10-year high school reunion or old folks with brittle bones. It's the most hilarious reverse-"pink tax" product ever. nah, there's a big difference: the formula for Soylent is created by a software engineer with a shaky grasp on biology, who created the original formula by reading biochem textbooks and refined it by waiting to see if he developed any nutritional deficiencies and then adding more of whatever he was lacking slimfast and ensure presumably employ people who actually know what they're doing really, the Soylent guy is a perfect example of someone who realizes that humanity is facing deep problems but is incapable of coming up with solutions that aren't downright bizarre. it's like if fuckin RMS started a restaurant - you'd be absolutely sure that it would exactly obey whatever ideological goal he had for it, but unless that ideological goal expressly included "I will not season food with poo poo I picked out of my toenails", I probably wouldn't ever eat there

It's basically the nerd equivalent of paying a premium to buy pseudo-manly poo poo to pretend like you're roughing it in the wild. Role-playing that you have to give up the aesthetic pleasures of life, except instead of communing with nature or finding yourself, you're maximizing your service potential to your overlord. Or marathoning videogames. I think that's where the legend of poopsocking comes from.
