because eating men’s meat is gay, and so on
Now this is a shower thought.
If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat

Hello there, human meat butcher, fetch me a flank of a former league of legends player that died after a diet of nothing but energy drinks and chicken tendies. Nono, this one isn’t pale enough. I want only your finest. Bring me muscles that have never been used.

Will Mountain Dew DOTA2 veal be ok?
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I said League, and it has to be one that unlocked all the skins.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Veal is redundant. DOTA 2 means they haven’t seen the sun.

Butcher: “Excellent choice! Now, in case this is your first time using salted meat, I should stress that it must be desalted by leaving it in some water for a few hours, changing the water frequently. After that, it is perfect for roasting!”

There’d also be people who refuse to eat human meat and everyone else would make fun of them.

What’s the quote about virgins from that vampire show? Something like: If you’re going to eat a sandwich, wouldn’t your prefer if no one had fucked it first?
This seems to be a similar idea.

“Meat with a first and last name tastes best!” - from Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
Not a book for most people, hell sometimes I wish I hadn’t read it. But if you want to get into a fiction book on the subject it’s pretty fucked up. I’ll probably live rent free in my head for the rest of my life…
LePoisson@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That book was a great read. I really enjoyed it, the themes of capitalist consumerism and greed were neatly wrapped up in the madness of cannibalism.
The ending where >!the guy ends up killing the woman that became too human in his eyes!< was a great twist. Would definitely recommend that book to anyone who enjoys reading.

I already find it kind of weird when people talk about eating meat, especially ‘breasts’, but no one else seems to so maybe I’m weird.
HurricaneLiz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not “no one;” it is pretty bizarre to think about. It’s just that we’re omnivores so we eat things that either used to have eyeballs or that scream when they’re torn from the ground. Like plants react if you even have an intention of harming them, so it’s just sucky to be an omnivore with empathy in general

There’s a show about this. The Promised Neverland. [Redacted] raise children on farms and educate them because apparently, smarter ones taste better, but the taste drops at puberty, so they’re given 12 years max before they’re “harvested.” Saying puberty, it sounds perverse, but there’s no perverted element whatsoever to the show. It’s just straight up horror.
The show is available (at least) in both English and Japanese. There’s a film (on Amazon Prime) that is in Japanese. I’m not sure if it got an English translation. It’s better than one might expect. At one point, Amazon was going to make an English version of the film (based on the manga, not based on the existing movie) but it never happened.
Minor spoiler: they don’t care about race or gender, only IQ. The smartest ones go to the richest [Redacted], but commoners can typically get the “average” kids. Damn. That sounds Epstein as hell. It really isn’t. They’re strictly being raised as food, as cattle. (That, in and of itself, is a minor spoiler, but it’s revealed in the first episode.)
justsomeguy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I like how you defend it multiple times. Guys this fictional dystopian story about human children raised like cattle to be harvested isn’t as bad as our reality where they’re sex trafficked to billionaires, I swear. Just some lighthearted horror sitcom. Look they put up a big seasoning box so the kids can play with that instead of sand. Ha, they keep sneezing. How cute.
cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Yeah, it’s actually a good show. Maybe give it a shot rather than shooting the messenger? Skip the second season though, it’s kind of a train wreck. (Long story short, they crammed about five seasons’ worth of content into one to satisfy contractual obligations. That said, the first season stands on its own well enough. If nothing else, pick up the manga from there and get the full story.)

Oh God, now I’m just having horrifying thoughts about a sandbox filled with Tony Chachere’s.

Not exactly cannibalism but mummia (powdered mummies) was popular in Europe from the 12th to 19th century.
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For it to be consistently available in national grocery chains, it would probably have to be industrialized like the current meat industry. That puts a lot of limits on how it could work. For starters, there are a lot of species of animal that people will hunt for food that aren’t economical with industrial farming/ranching methods. Their meat is expensive, available minimally in the supply chain and relegated to specialty shops.
So now, we’re in a position in which there’s a globally massive demand and supply for the meat, just to have commonly at grocery stores. That implies the meat is mostly farm-raised. We’re probably looking at a population of around 100 million. Using other aspects of the meat industry as a model, the meat is probably mostly juvenile, female and without a lot of genetic diversity. This analogy is getting uglier by the second, and I don’t want to flesh it out any further.
All the other alternatives would make for more expensive, lower quality meat, which consumers don’t like. Thankfully, human burgers are probably not on the menu for the foreseeable future, and if they were, it would likely be a short, self-limiting horror show.

I don’t love the second half of this post, it seems like bait to bring out the worst in people, but so far all of the comments seem to be keeping things civil and avoiding the bait.
Thanks all.
Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Usually that type of bait post has a generalized accusation of hypocrisy, that’s the secret ingredient that turns comment sections into 360-era COD lobbies - this post’s title is missing that, so to me it doesn’t look like deliberate ragebait
vatlark@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah that’s a helpful perspective to hear
Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
An obscenely crude platformer came out a couple years ago called Hell Pie, where you play as a demon chained to a cherub and you go to different “worlds” to get her ingredients to make a pie for Satan’s birthday.
One of the levels takes place in and around a giant restaurant that serves all the people of the world (meaning all the NPCs and other characters you’ve seen throughout the game) and they have a “mystery meat” that’s so delicious people can’t get enough. One of the side areas in the exterior of the building, is a small caged-in area on a flat metal surface, with tents and fire barrels and a bunch of naked humans who look like they’ve been in captivity for their entire lives. Like skin-and-bone, bug-eyes, all huddled together and acting like scared animals.
It was one of the few areas in the game that actually kinda fucked me up.
arin@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
99% of animal meat we eat are already female or basically young children otherwise it’s too meaty and tough. Same for predator animals, they hunt young animals, that’s why wild dogs, pumas, coyotes go for children and you cannot let your child roam without adult supervision in some areas

Risky click of the day. Was totally worth it though.
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
There’s a prompt for a horror scifi book. Just imagine what it takes to produce that meat, where do you get it from, who get to become food and all that. This opens some very dark and truly dystopian possibilities. If you thought cyberpunk was awful, that was just a warm up lap. We’re just getting started here.
neo2478@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The current meat industry is already dystopian as fuck, no need to imagine it.
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Spice that up with human meat and you get next level scifi horror. Basically a hybrid abomination of ethnic cleansing + genocide + war crimes + capitalism + meat industry. Basically everything you hate about the modern world squeezed into a single package.
johnyreeferseed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I just watched this show Pluribus. In it a hive mind takes over earth except a few immune people. In one episode the main character discovers a warehouse full of frozen body parts starts freaking out and confronts the hive mind. They made a pretty convincing point, there 7 billion people in the world and every day millions of them die from accidents or natural causes, it would be wasteful not to use that abundant source of protein that is otherwise going to just rot.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I haven’t actually watched the show, but I did see the John Cena commercial scene. I thought it was interesting.

Oh that’s just a logical clean way to do it. I was thinking about something far worse. You know, like modern chicken industry, but made out of nightmares.

I’m guessing it’s hard to tell what color the skin is once it’s cooked, so they’ll insist on picking the cut with the skin on, like choosing a lobster out of a tank, and then watching it be prepared to ensure “purity”. And, of course, to choose gender, they’d need to see the important bits intact. Also, no tattoos, and as few moles or other imperfections as possible.
This is why our meat sources need to be raised in clean, controlled conditions from birth, you want to know what you’re eating.
(Holy crap, people are fucked up.)

how do you even get ideas like this
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I worked in record stores in the olden days, and got casually familiar with several regulars. One day, a regular customer was buying an album, and I mentioned that some artist had just dropped a new album, if he was interested.
He got very serious, and said “That album is by a man. Do you think I’m gay?”
I was instantly confused, and just asked " What?"
He was getting angry now, and repeated “Do you think I’m gay? Only a gay guy would but an album by a man!”
I had never encountered this attitude before, and I have never encountered it since, but here it was - if a man bought an album by another man, he is gay. I had never noticed that every artist this guy bought was female.
I tried explaining that your musical choices do not reflect your sexuality, but he just yelled at me, called me the F-word a bunch of times, and left, and never returned
I had never cared to think about it before, but after that experience, I came to the conclusion that he was DEFINITELY gay.

When I was a very young kid, I used to think it was weird if boys liked songs by women. Now I don’t give a shit, but it was something I used to think.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
When I was a young kid, I liked songs by women because they were in my range. I’d go back to being 14 for one reason only. When my voice changed, I had a 10-11 month period that I could sing Soprano 1 to Bass 1. Couldn’t do Bass 2 at that point. Then my voice cracked and I could barely sing for a few months. These days I have trouble getting up to an Irish Tenor.
