>eating is literally pain, guys
why dont you just euthanize yourself?

>>17763198
It's right there in the first three letters of the brand name dummy.

>I hate eating because it's a pain in the ass

>>17763205
Okay, now let's say I'm a normal person who doesn't use social media and hasn't been brain-poisoned by internet bullshit, and thus I don't care about what it's called, only the purpose it serves. What reasons are there not to drink it then?

>>17763207
I don't think this entity hates eating. He/it is literally buying fruit. He/it is just malnourished because he's not getting necessary nutrients. This is the opposite of a drink that has all necessary nutrients in it.

>>17763198
>Honestly what's wrong with this stuff?
Expensive, tastes like shit, takes all the enjoyment out of food, a symptom of a wider push in society to "optimize" every aspect of your life for "the grind" or "profits", making you more and more like a cog in a machine that is the economy, not nearly as sustainable as advertised. Nutrition, cooking and food consumption is also an important aspect of socialization for most societies, which you will miss out on.
>I hate eating because it's a pain in the ass that can take up to two hours out of my day.
Leave. Leave /ck/, this board isn't for you. There is nothing wrong with saying you dislike eating, but don't go into a community of people who enjoy it and talk about it and then be surprised that they don't want to hear it. It's like me meeting up with a sewing club only to ask them why they wouldn't buy their clothes from a cheap clothing outlet. It's a free country, be a retard on your own time.
>Why shouldn't I drink this?
You absolutely should. Please drink nothing but this, preferably in your own home and don't talk about it to others.

>>17763198
>I hate eating because it's a pain in the ass that can take up to two hours out of my day.
Sometimes I wonder how long it will take for people to degenerate to the point of being too stupid to eat but then I remember that zoomers already exist.

>>17763198
>Honestly what's wrong with this stuff?
The price.

It would be nice to have as a backup, on nights when I run out of time for a proper dinner of real food. But with that price tag, it ain't gonna happen.

>>17763243
Post the webm of the zoomer unable to figure out a can opener.

>>17763198
Little to no bioavailable nutrients, taste like shit, overpriced. Dont fall for retarded marketing. Just buy some meat to fry in clarified butter, handfull of seaonal vegs and roast some quartered tatoes. Doesnt take longer than 30 min max. Meal prepping further cuts time.

>>17763222
If any of that were true, you wouldn't be here trying to shill Soylent.

seriously though, why do people drink this? interested in honest non-meme answers

>>17763198
This doesn't look like a meal to me.

>>17763198
I dont know. But when I was a kid, my mom said to me that ꜱoy milk is not good for a man and it will turn me to a girl lel. To this day, I never knew what ꜱoymilk taste like.

>>17763284
You are missing absolutely nothing. It tastes like thinned down emulsified soy bean oil.

>>17763284
It does, no matter what people claim. Otherwise it wouldnt be medically used for post-menopausal women to give them phytoestrogen after their bodies ceased endogen production.

>>17763262
IMO it tastes pretty good.

>>17763229
>he
it's a she and she's brave and stunning

>>17763198
It was created by a retarded autist with zero education in nutrition by poisoning himself several times in a rat infested warehouse.

hmmm, there sure have been a lot of supplement threads lately

>>17763352
Great movie
>>17763198
Don't eat food, there will be more food for me and the rest of the anons here

>>17763229
>All the necessary nutrients

Drink nothing but this bullshit for 2 months and if you still have the strength, report back. fucking imbecile

>>17763850
You're making the mistake of thinking that anyone who shills or drinks this cum slurry cares about health or strength in any way.

>Why can't I drink this soy shake?
>I don't care about the size of my testicles.
You'll be fine anon.

Go fuck yourself you bitch

>>17763198
You really want to get rid of one of life's simple joys so you can spend more of your limited time earning worthless fiat?

>>17763198
>Honestly what's wrong with this stuff?
Why don't you ask this guy?

>>17763198
I refuse to consume a product that needs a specialized tool to open.

>>17764283

>>17764270
>so you can spend more of your limited time earning worthless fiat?
No, it has nothing to do with career pursuits. I'd just like more time to read and write, free my evenings up for more hiking and biking, watch the sunrise more instead of cooking breakfast, etc.

>>17764283
>>17764293
Imagine being so weak you can't open a bottle cap.

>>17764299
If you'll be this >>17764283 weak how do you expect to do any hiking or biking?

>>17764309
I doubt I'll be so weak I can't open a bottle.

>>17764283
What the fuck is that weak ass grip

>>17763198
>I hate eating because it's a pain in the ass that can take up to two hours out of my day.
are you weak or mentally ill? how does eating take up that much time?

breakfast takes me 5 to 10 minutes to make.
lunch maybe 5 minutes
and dinner takes no more than 30 to 45 minutes for most things I cook from scratch.

>>17764334
>Doesn't want to eat
>Wants to drink soy juice instead
>Thinks he will have the strength to get out of bed.
Ngmi

It’s filled with trash like any other processed food.
Put trash in, you become the trash.

>>17764345
>one hour of meal prep time for all meals of the day
>10-15 minutes of actual eating per meal
>15-30 minutes of cleanup total

>>17764406
>15-30 minutes of cleanup total
Don't you have a dishwasher?

>>17764429
No

>>17764406
Do you wear diapers to avoid using the bathroom also? What do you do to avoid the crushing weight of having to bathe regularly? All this time for supposed "essential" activities really adds up. You could be staring at the sun instead.

>>17764475
These activities aren't useless. I don't want to walk around smelling like shit. The purpose of eating is to gain nutrients to stay alive and remain healthy, and if I can do that with a simple concoction that takes 60 seconds to consume and dispose of, I will.

>>17763278
sugar is the 3rd ingredient
and how are they isolating that soy protein? nasty organic solvents like hexane?

>>17764489
And the result of eating is waste. What could be more of a waste of time than dealing with waste. Get with the times bro. Just get a colostomy bag and a catheter like a real man. I could spend that 5 minutes reading. Get a life!

>>17764489
You can't though. You will never be able to.

>>17764301
OP won't have to imagine in a few months

>>17764521
Why not? This stuff is marketed as a "complete meal in a bottle." I think I've seen on the bottles that each one has 20% of one's required daily nutrients.

>>17764536
That's true in theory but in practice it won't work. Every study ever done to study the bioavailability of liquid nutrients demonstrated that liquid food is not as bioavailable as solid food. The reason is not well understood. So you'd realistically need to drink 10 or 15 in a day to get enough nutrients

>>17764536
>But, the people that want me to buy it say that it's just as good as real food.
Remember to come back here and post your hairline in a couple months.

>>17764547
I'm no doctor but I would guess it's because liquids go through you much faster than solid food.

>>17763198
seriously though, why do people drink this? interested in honest non-meme answers

>>17764648
Because they are mentally ill.

>>17763198
It's just non-dairy Ensure for the lactate intolerant. Don't see people lining up to shill Ensure, so why this?

>>17763222
>Normal person
>Not brain poisoned

>>17763198
gyno

>>17763198
The reason it is hated and made fun of is because it supposedly contains a lot of estrogen and it was popular with trannies and obese manchildren, I have personally never had it though, figured it was kind of like Slim Fast, sort of like a meal replacement protein drink or some shit.

I can tell you right now that it is expensive at the stores, you can probably buy it in bulk off Amazon or some shit, but I know in the stores it's like fucking $4 or some shit for ONE BOTTLE. It would depend on how many you're drinking everyday, but if you're drinking like 2-3 a day then it will cost you a lot of money.

I think it'd make a good/quick breakfast or maybe lunch if you just don't have time for either one, but I wouldn't just live off of it.

STRAWBERRY???? WHAT ABOUT

RRRAWWWWWWBBBEEERRRYYYYYYY

>>17764648
Sometimes, when you aren't a faggot like OP, you really have no time because actual important stuff occupies you or you are in the middle if something and then I can see an argument made in favor of these Liquid meals, but never, I repeat that, never, mistake them for actual food, you can't substitute actual nutrition value with 1/4 sugar and 0 micronutrients

>>17763198
Food pill?

>>17763207
Aww look at the stubby little fingers!

Its kinda wild how it went from the creator trying to replace food as cheaply as possible (the dream was big drums you would get to feed for months) to what is now just another overpriced drink for FAANG employees (will they drop the N soon lol)

>>17764547
What if you take the drink with solid food to accompany it, or even just added fiber? Not shit like OP suggested, but a protein smoothie you've blended yourself.

>>17764283
uhh god it moves slow tooo

>>17764648
cuz they're deranged hipsters with social media quotas

Why is it only fags that love this shit? Is it a prerequisite of chugging dicks to love this stuff?

>>17764648
it tastes pretty good

WARNING
you just read paid content posted for money
do not trust anything OP says, because he was given currency to say it

It has more to do with it's metaphysical essence and the reason why it exists. Soylent is completely utilitarian in its purpose. It is the food equivalent of pornography. Soylent is a symptom of hypermodernity, where instant gratification and maximum efficiency is the religion. It is perpetuating a lie that scientific progress is always positive, that the silicon valley tech giants will push all of humanity towards the singularity. Soylent is the epitome of that californian ideology and this is why people despise it, unconsciously or not

>>17763252
He's not unable to figure it out. He's in the process of figuring it out. Boomers have never figured anything out in their lives. Witness them encountering any technology that didn't exist when they were being instructed by school on their youth.

>>17763210
>thinking that post was ESL
You're either drunk, retarded or an actual ESL. He's right, please euthanize yourself immediately.

>>17767527
Boomers invented all the tech you use. Once they die out there will be no one to keep the lights on.

im drinking soylent right now bros. my wrists are so tiny theyre as thick as the soylent bottlecap itself. right now im being spooned by my soylent bf and whenever we kiss we snowball mouthfuls of delicious soylent between our lips, pushing it back and forth with our tongues

>>17764406
>He doesn't enjoy eating
>He doesn't enjoy dismantling god's creatures to absorb their lifeforce and would rather suck a thin soy paste made in a factory

Just give up, you already lost the reality war.

>>17767675
Found another ESLnigger
Learn what common turns of phrase such as "pain in the ass" connote (hint: not literal pain)

I know someone who eats something similar, I think it's called mana. He buys it dried in gigantic bags. He's a homosexual and believes in transhumanism, also watches reddit and memey.
The memes just write themselves. What is it with these redditors and not being able to enjoy life.

>>17763198
It's literally just a meal replacement shake. My grandma used to drink them. There's nothing wrong with that if you've got a reason to avoid real food and you can balance your micronutrients out.

Doing it to yourself without needing to is strange, but I hope you get what you want out of it.

>>17763222
Soy is bad for you

>>17768227
Why?

>>17763207
I thought I had thin arms, now I'm even more motivated to lift

>>17763222
Your farts will smell like death

>>17764648
meal replacement

>>17767762
Incorrect, it was The Greatest Generation who did. Notice how the world and technology went to shit when they started to die off and Boomers took over.

>>17767527
Boomers made all the technology you idiot.

20g of plant protein is like 15.5g
Get greek, italian or turkish yogurt

>>17769705
>20g of plant protein is like 15.5g
what?

>>17769677
I don't think you know what the generations you're referring to actually are.

Just watch this it’ll explain it

>>17769726
I'm not watching a one hour video, if you can't be arsed summarizing it in a few sentences fine, I respect your time, but fuck that shit lol

Thanks for this thread OP I was considering skipping my workout today

>>17764648
>why take time out of your busy workday to slow down, have a nice meal, and enjoy a brief respite from the day?
>just chug this bottle of soy product! You don’t even have to leave your office desk!

>>17767527
Post the webm of fuck off

>>17764283
Even my mom knows how to use a strap wrench to open a bottle/jar.

processed "meal replacement" shit isn't good for you. that being said, 4chan has blown the soylent memes way out of proportion, it's basically the same thing as eating a protein bar instead of a meal but in drink form, it's not gonna turn you into a tranny

>>17769815
Idk anon the memes kinda write themselves with all of the “my frail hands are too weak to open this bottle” type posts people make in earnest

>>17769971

>>17763316
You know your body will elevate testosterone to match incoming estrogen right? That's why Hrt takes so long and takes a fuck ton of Estrogen because your biochemistry is literally fighting to keep the correct balance. It's also why if you do roids then stop your body was so used to testosterone being fed into the body is almost stops producing it entirely.

>>17763198
i remember when they got their first round of investors and vice visited their headquarters
they had rats running around and the ingredients for the meals were laying around on the floor in some storage facility

>>17763198
>what's wrong?
besides the prize and (probably) the taste,absolutely nothing,why polfaggots are so afraid of soy?

>>17770022
You are aware that your body is more than just estrogen and testosteron and that naturaly occuring phytohormon combinations are often more potent than single synthecised hormones due to synergetic effects? Further hormornal changes can have a bad effect long before you see physical changes. Last but not least, even regular consumption of canned (plastic lined) food already creats gyno and reduces fertility, you would be silly to think that a evidence based approach in menopausal women through soy somehow has no effects on men. Especially as we are talking unfermented soy, as fermented soy drastically drops in those effects and is also the variety most asian cultures regularly consume, unlike the west.

It tastes like shit and will give you pretty ugly GI problems. Other than that it's fine.

>>17770022
>That's why HRT takes so long.
No. It's because you will never be a woman.

>>17764406

>t. dilate seething tranny

>>17763198
Soy when consumed will produce estrogen. In men this can cause fatty tissue to form in the breasts, hips, and other place where fat doesnt typically pool in men. This effect is bolstered in higher amounts. So if you were to drink soy protein instead of milk protein everyday, even when exercising, the hormone imbalance in the body would result in less hypertrophy and more fat displacement. A.k.a a submissibe and breedable soyboy you will become

>>17766819
But you know the amino acid content of soy protein is miles less efficent than any animal or animal byproduct protein. You (mam) are the true faggot.

>>17763241
A very based post.

>>17763198
You dont hate eating you hate cooking fucking Mormon

>>17763222
They are expensive and not very tasty. If however you don't care about money or taste, the only reason not to drink them is to avoid stares/ridicule from people who have been brain poisoned by internet bullshit, which you may or may not care about

I drink this. onions memes aside. it tastes good, tastes the same as soylent, it's cheap, and it's convenient. It hasn't turned me into a woman.

Have you grown manbreasts?

>>17763278
Third ingredient is maltodextrin.

>Maltodextrin is a processed starch that has a higher glycemic index than table sugar, meaning that it is absorbed into the bloodstream as glucose faster than sucrose. This can result in a higher risk of diabetes and can promote bad gut bacteria. Despite being absorbed by the body as glucose, maltodextrin is considered a food additive and can be excluded from the sugar category of nutritional facts.

Most popular soylent flavor nutritional facts: 36g carbs in a 400 calorie bottle. 3g is from dietary fiber, 1g is from added sugar. However, again, maltodextrin is 3rd on the list of ingredients, so it most likely makes up the other 32g of carbs. In other words, soylent is effectively 33g of sugar per 400 calorie bottle.

The American Health Association suggests a maximum of 37.5g of sugar per day for men on a 2000 calorie diet. I wonder how many Soylent fans have diabetes?

>>17763198

i like buying the mocha one and using it as milk in my wheaties or granola cereals with banana slices.
