Yup, but mostly from the American perspective.

Right after they start they talk about how he thinks it's weird he's eating a leaf while surround by computers so I think it's probably fine to go "look at this loving nerd".

yea I get maybe being annoyed at anyone in tech stereotyped as some poindexter loser but this guy literally made a terrible drink sludge to make sure you never have to bother your boss (him) with things like food breaks and doesn't understand why people would want to eat 'leaves' when technology exists.

My man's a nerd, and also a fuckin dingus, and a herb as well.

as part of the water saving thing he bulk ordered a ton of jumpsuits from china, had them drop shipped to him in the us, and then would wear a jumpsuit a week before donating it so he could claim the savings of bot doing laundry

from the article dave quoted in the episode theres also this passage


quote:

I think it was a bit presumptuous for the architect to assume I wanted a kitchen with my apartment and make me pay for it. My home is a place of peace. I don’t want to live with red-hot heating elements and razor-sharp knives. That sounds like a torture chamber.

Mr. Rob Soylentdude is one of the least relatable human being I have ever heard information about, on the level of the most depraved serial killers in history.

That this dude found success by giving in to his neurosis that cooking and eating food like other people is beneath him and creating an unpalatable, questionably produced nutrient paste is bizarre and hilarious

Also that he put in tremendous effort to basically re-invent the slimfast or ensure shake except for tech bros.

And the fun thing I learned that Scott Adams beat him to it back in the 90s with the loving Dilberito, which I thought was a joke until I read the articles about it. It was also designed as a basically flavorless nutrient pouch for people who just don't want to waste time eating.
