Think the stroke made him into literally a caveman

i had no expectations for what a lab meat machine looked like so this really changes nothing for me
- I envisioned something like a warehouse full of really large petri dishes
  
  Honestly i was lazy and just pictured a single normal sized petri dish being used a lot.
  
  Lined up like plant pots. Basically like a greenhouse but petri dishes.
  
  I was thinking a bunch of goo-filled vats, fallout style
- honestly, I'm more interested now, this has tickled my likely ASD "How It's Made"-loving neurons
  
  Ah, a fellow filling machine aficionado.

Looks cool as hell, does he hate beer?
- A few months ago he was trying to get Pennsylvania to ban use of the word "milk" for anything that's not dairy products. Nevermind that coconut milk and almond milk have been a thing since like the renaissance and officially defined since the 18th century lmao.
  
  The popularity of alt-milks has skyrocketed recently too. It's funny that they're choosing now as the time to ban the word "milk" after there's zero chance anyone will mistake it for cow's milk.
  Oh drat oh bother I've accidentally bought peanut butter instead of dairy butter. What ever shall I put on my toast now??
  
  It's to make vegan shit unappetizing to normies
  We already have that in the EU, so we've got almond "drinks" and oat "drinks"
- These days it only seems he only likes US foreign policy and islamaphobia
- Yeah I genuinely don’t understand the point he’s trying to make. I’m not even vegan, this is just such a weird thing to have an issue with. Like yeah, it looks like any industrial food production facility? What did you expect it to look like?

It's a bioreactor. Nobody show him where they make literally any vaccine.
- Feels like he’s the type to rail against that too lol
- He will be anti vax soon enough
- But Subnautica taught me bioreactors are what I put baby animals in to convert into power

Ok John now show us what the average slaughterhouse looks like inside
- He's a Zionist. He definitely prefers the gore.

Looks like a big beer still. Is Fetterman about to become a prohibitionost too?
- democrats do love losing
- beer still
  You don't make beer in a still, you make it in a fermenter, which yes this does look like.
  
  I just now figured out that a "still" is used in a di"still"ery, still looks similar tho.

I'll always support you israel while I eat my bird flu chicken shit fed burgers
- If you use chicken shit instead as a condiment it’s even more American.
  
  I only eat free range chicken shit

Has this guy ever been to a brewery? FYI this is the sorta thing MOST modern food is made in.

This looks kinda similar to a big industrial sized brewery distillation machine. I assume he drinks? Maybe he doesn't.
- Smhd. Just drink naturally fermented compost juice like god intended.

grrr congressogre gronk no want science meat

Compare that to the horrifying machinery of blood and guts and shit that makes your fucking steak.
- And I mean literal shit.
  
  Way, way, way too many people in the west have a "meat comes from grocery stores" idea about meat production. We need a modern version of "The Jungle" to get people actually aware of the fucked up conditions in these places.

They should try and grow a brain for fetterman

It is so funny when someone complains how something they don't personally like is made with scary industrial equipment. Unlike... everything else.

Look I don't eat meat, but I'll eat whatever sort of food that contraption makes. It looks fucking awesome.
- Just a fan of fancy doohickey food
- If you're avoiding meat purely for ethical reasons, take a closer look at the practices of the specific company you want to try a product from before buying. Many still use fetal bovine serum to grow their meat, meaning it's still reliant on industrial ranching and the slaughter of animals.
  Some companies are working to remove the need for FBS. Without this step, lab grown meat isn't really an improvement, though it is an incremental step away from the harms caused by industrial ranching.
  
  This here machine might tempt me to let my ethics slide a bit, but the potential climatic impact of a mature technology is a different ethical consideration. The current gen is still very energy hungry but it's also not really gone to market. If it can save our ecology by replacing the current industry, then we get the inverse of our typical moral dilemma: That we create suffering now to alleviate more of it later.
  Honestly I don't see much of a reason to add lab-grown meat to my diet and the ethical issues are a part of that - and I will always prioritize degrowth - but I do see opportunity in this tech for those who are not willing to "sacrifice" their habits as much as I am.
- just imagine a meatvat the size of a corn silo

it looks indistinguishable from literally any other industrial chemical process lmao

Wait until he sees what makes insulin

Sanitary environment

- That pillow guy was a victim of Chinese MK Ultra (mayo kkkum ultra)

I wonder what these people think a meat packing factory. That straight up looks standard for some random meat processing step.
I really think most meat eaters don’t even understand the factory aspect
- i am eternally those children who saw pink slime and still wanted chicken nuggets

Yes... Lab equipment

Follow up tweet
- I'm only like 70% sure this is fake
  
  𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 meat
- Well, ospreys crashing did turned quite a lot of servicemen into meat.

Lab equipment? Yeah, I sure hope so?
- Lab work ahead?

Thing looks cool and scientific as fuck, what did he think this was gonna do?
- I love science

Yeah, I'm sure there's no machinery in a slaughterhouse. This isn't soaked in gore and can even be installed on a real floor instead of a metal greater that allows loose material to sluice through.
However, I do wanna know why there's a plunger over to the left.
- However, I do wanna know why there's a plunger over to the left.
  It's for practical jokes
- I think that's a broom, not a plunger. Assuming I'm looking at the thing you're talking about
  
  Upon closer inspection, I think you're right.

don't take any pharmaceutical medication john!!! you will NOT like what the production facility for THAT looks like!

And the best thing is, you don't even have to kill it for it to make the meat!
- This Machine Doesn't Kill Fascists Or Anything Else

More sophisticated than I thought. Basically free publicity for lab grown meat
- I hinestly thought the headlines were about a small clump of cells in a pietry dish. Seeing this definitely makes it feel like it's somewhat close to a reality
  
  They also have big ones the size of a room, this one is experimental I'm pretty sure

There's a very big gap to bridge to make anything vegan as gross as omni food. What are they going to put in there that is as gross as literal flesh, an intact piece of what was a living, perceiving mammal you could probably have been friends with?
- Tbh the sanest take, but the world isnt sane.

Oh no generic industrial food prep equipment so scary

Is there any IT person that is willing to stand with me in saying ZEBRA printers suck ass?
- there has never been a good printer
  
  A major "With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created." moment in the history of computers was when Robert Sproull refused to give Richard Stallman a copy of the Xerox laser printer source code so he could port it to the PDP-11.
- Novice: Zebra printers suck ass
  Intermediate: Thermal printers suck ass
  Expert: Printers suck ass
  
  There are a class of Bother and Sharp printers that are still kind of decent at scale but they are expensive to upkeep. I have had to deal with warehouses that had a shit ton of different types and there are some less shitty than others.
- Oh! I thought those were generators
- Yeah, I was about to say they are the actual shocking discovery in this picture

Wait until he learns how beer is made

Comrade stroke please!

I love technology
- Seriously, he could've started a genuine Satanic panic over magnetospinoencephalography but instead he jumps onto the most milk toast carnist psyop ever to fearmonger over Metal Cylinders.

Wait until he shows Dominion on his Twitter feed

Sucks that those strokes didn't do more damage.

The fuck were you expecting, John?

What is the vegan position on lab grown meat?
- I once told a vegan classmate I would eat lab meat and she thought I meant Labrador meat.
  
  That's vegan depending on how annoying the lab is
  
  Lol, it's funny how people categorize acceptable and unacceptable meat.
- I didn't know that, that clarifies things for me thanks.
  
  You definitely do you… as an omnivore I look forward to a more ethical way to eat my diet. Vegans have some good points, and I hope seeing society move toward ethical meat gives them hope the world is getting better.
  
  They can't reproduce fetal bovine serum. It's a byproduct of the cow killing industry, so every lab-grown meat product uses the processed blood of a real cow.
- If it's not hurting animals I would think positive?
- My take (as a vegan):
  Most lab grown meat still has animal product input so it's not vegan
  In the event that they replace that part of the production, there's still a good chance it gets tested on animals to get GRAS (generally recognized as safe) certification from the FDA. I don't eat e.g. Impossible or Just, both of which tested their food on animals to get the certification.
  If there existed a way of synthesizing meat that didn't have animal products as input and was never tested on animals, I'd be very excited about it from the perspective of getting omnis to stop killing animals for their flesh or secretions. I probably wouldn't eat it because of the ick factor, plus health reasons, but I think it would be vegan.
  I also don't think that waiting for lab grown meat before going vegan is a morally defensible position in general.
- Most ethical vegans wouldn't even have an issue with someone eating real meat sourced from a trash can. I personally wouldn't be able to eat it because I've never eaten meat in my life but I wouldn't think any less of someone for eating meat that was destined for the landfill because it doesn't contribute to the suffering of any animal.
- In general, the more proximal to R&D, the less acceptable it is to vegans.
  At these early stages, the research involves animal exploitation and killing to product the initial cells. Some of the production processes do, too. A stalwart vegan might avoid those products as a result.
  Eventually, there will probably be companies and production processes that do neither and the connection to harm will be, at least psychologically, more diffuse. More vegans will be cool with it over time until none of them care outside of the issues re: normalizing meat consumption.
  There are confounding factors but that's the trend.

Yes that is how an industrial process equipment looks like Redditman. It's not as bloody as an actual slaughterhouse or what Israelis do to Palestinians but it is a lab equipment.

Axlotl tanks would look like this if not for the Butlerian Jihad.

That machine looks cool.

Shiny happy lab meat holding hands

ok and?

Surprisingly small, all considered.
- They also have big room sized ones, this looks like an experimental one
  
  Scale it down into a kitchen appliance so people can grow meat at home. Although I'm sure it'll be enshittified like the Juicero or something.

This tweet reminds me of the Jordan Peterson Chinese cum milking machine tweet.

I hate the trend of just showing a thing like your tone conveys the significance. I'd have to be so online to understand the context.
Being a politician is so easy these days.

looks like a bio reactor

I hope this can be escalated to have tons of "lab" meat.
