A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

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.

What stuff was you on when you came up with this revelation?

I'd just had a cousin burger

but most importantly, did you inject or snore

Edit: snort, fuck autocorrect

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Asleep all night, snoring drugs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Inject drugs by day, snore by night. All day.

So you kind of miss the obvious long term application in this scenario: buy a totally realistic dildo clone of my penis, buy a clone of my boobs etc. A step beyond just meat but the more realistic application of this technology in the sex world.

I think they'll be eating their favourite onlyfans creators, just not in the way you're suggesting.

And how do you keep that from deteriorating and decaying? It would be meat after all and meat has the nasty property to get really bad in very short time without a living body attached to it keeping it fresh.

Well planned obsolescence is a good thing for the content maker - the customer has to buy it again if they like it. The ultimate DRM?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Okay, if you phrase it that way then it is a feature not a bug 🤔😄

Wait, would my dildo clone have a foreskin? Would the fake be more real than the real thing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yea, I hit on that same thought later in another comment.

I feel like that will become illegal pretty quickly.

There was that artist back in the early 2000s who made caviar from her own eggs.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

This kind of concept is in Brandon Cronenbergs' film Antiviral

It's the only true vegan meat - given with consent.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Pretty sure it would be considered cannibalism and made illegal

Prion City here we GOOOOOOOOO!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Where are the infectious prions coming from if it is lab grown meat? There should be the same risks with any other lab grown meat then, because prions are not something special to only human meat.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Long as we don't lab grow brains for food we should be good on that front.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Not necessarily, most of the known prions we associate with cannibalism are neurological, but that doesn't mean there aren't any that primarily affect other parts of the body that require proteins that aren't infectiously badly folded.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure cannibalism is already legal in the United States. The problem is you can't legally acquire human meat.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I don't think cannibalism is illegal in many places, the problem with it is acquiring the meat.

There will no doubt be a line of the wealthiest people selling their sole for a profit.

I don't think this is what was implied when we said to "eat the rich", though. Or "bootlicker" and "ass kisser".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

...selling their sole for a profit.

Ah, I see what you did there 🦶

[–] treadful 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

People into vore are about to feast!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Literally! And literally!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The problem is though is who tf would wanna do that (eat it)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the same people who bought the bath water, I guess

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

The disconnect with reality is fucking astonishing

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Armin Meiwes went vegetarian I just checked.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was always very oddly into ethical consumption.

Very

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

The problem is that the lab-meat probably wouldn’t taste the same as the human-meat. I’m reasonably confident that the (minimum) 18 years of living the OF person would have to do impacts and changes the quality and taste of flesh.

It’s possible that the lab-meat would taste like the OF person did when they were a baby… but that opens a whole new door of moral and ethical and legal issues.

Why bother just make a brainless clone and put an ai in it. Its not human so it has no rights?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Zuckerberg will do a video of him smoking some thot's ass meat. With Sweet Baby Ray's, of course.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I hate to say it, but you’re probably right. 🤢

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd eat a Bell Delphine burger. I wouldn't spend my own money on it, but I feel like that'd make for a fun story.
