Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

I'm fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

Wouldn't be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

I keep mixing up Armin Meiwes and Armin Meiwald. Really unfortunate coincidence that their names are so similar yet what they're known for is so different.

He's a children's author, oof 😆

Slightly different life choices between the two.

Not only an author but the co-creator and original host of Die Sendung mit der Maus, Germany's longest-running and most popular educational show for children.

Do you answer personal ads? If not you are fine either way.

Like, on dating sites?

Edit: Ok, looked it up. No, I wouldn't be answering personal ads from this guy :)

I guess I saw the IT Crowd episode that must have been referencing this.
