  Never actually seen any besides the cream cheese at Trader Joe’s. Going to keep an eye out now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Certain cheese (mainly hard cheese) is theoretically zero lactose due to fermentation using it up, but I find that even most hard cheeses give me a reaction.

  I have a history of psychosomatic reactions to food, though. For example I couldn’t eat beef, chicken, or pork for years after several food poisoning incidents in quick succession. Even though I knew the reaction was all in my head, the physical effects still happened. Super frustrating.

  However I have had 2 incidents where I had GI symptoms occur after eating something containing dairy where I didn’t know until I looked at the ingredients list, so I know it’s not 100% in my head.

  To my fellow LI sufferers I encourage you to experiment with hard cheeses, as there’s plenty of people who have documented their success with those! :)

  (Just do it on a day where you have a bathroom always available, lol.)

  😬 now that’s a rough time. Perfect Day does disclaim milk allergenic on their website but I have no idea if they require their clients to include that on their consumer product packaging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Surprising (and frustrating) that they didn’t use a properly deodorized grade of oil. Do you mind sharing which products you tried? I’m curious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The foodtech will use yeast as hosts to initially produce casein and whey protein, two of the main proteins found in milk.

  Bioreacted casein would be a HUGE leap for cow-free dairy. I remember when Perfect Day started up they were having too much trouble producing casein, so their products couldn’t be used to make stringy or melty cheese.

  As a former cheese addict who developed severe lactose intolerance, I’ll just be waiting here for the synthetic cheese. (Please. I miss pain-free cheese so much 😭)

  thanks for the writeup! I dislike straws but am going to try using them for a few days to see if I notice a difference, alongside the bottle trick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wait, i might have this problem. would you be able to describe or link to a guide on fixing it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  iron and sulfur compounds in tap water, or even some more “neutral” ones that are even in bottled water (like carbonates and magnesium), can have a really revolting taste to people who are sensitive to them

  I have a friend who is so sensitive to sulfur that she had to rinse her drinking cups with filtered water before using them, just to remove the traces left by washing with tap water from the area we lived in

  don’t let anyone tell you you’re crazy or overreacting. also, give distilled water a try. no, it’s not bad for you like people say–your highly acidic stomach is perfectly capable of handling the osmotic shift when drinking distilled.

  Large corporations will always have the money. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them get so large they start forming in-house construction companies, initially offering above market pay and benefits, to attract large teams of workers and undercut existing independent (often unionized) construction services. The competition forces the indie union shops to shutter or sell, and now, in control of the entire workforce, the corporations slash the wages and benefits as the workers no longer have other places to apply to.

  Race to the bottom, baybeeee

  Strength/athletics check.

  Success: you kill the person. The coordinator presses a button and a smart restraining net robot launches from the ceiling and pins you down. “Congratulations! You’ve been identified as a prime candidate for a military career. You’re going to need that pay boost, because unfortunately we’ll have to charge part of that technician’s reconstruction fee to your tab.” You feel a needle pierce your neck and your vision goes dark.

  Failure: The technician manages to pin you down until a smart restraining net is deployed to hold you. “Congratulations! You’ve been identified as a prime candidate for a law enforcement career. We like that kind of fighting spirit for keeping criminals off our streets.” You feel a needle pierce your neck and your vision goes dark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PLASTICMAXXING⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  plastic can be oversimplified into “usually biologically inert molecule chains” (polymers) held together by “usually NOT biologically inert accessory molecules” (plasticizers, fillers, etc.)

  BPA is a pretty well-known “fucks you up” plasticizer, hence it being banned for some applications and “BPA-free” marketing taking off (fun fact we’re still figuring out how badly BPA replacements, most being very similar molecules, are fucking us up and to what extent)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PLASTICMAXXING⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m vaguely qualified (biochem degree) to say it’s probably possible

  that being said there’s just a lot of stuff in nature easier to eat than plastic so if some kind of plasticphagic microbe starts causing issues it’ll likely be somewhere otherwise very inhospitable, like near the poles or in space, where there’s not much else in the way of metabolizable carbon sources

  which, lol. imagine going on an Antarctic or space mission and your fucking PPE starts fermenting lmao good luck

  or the ocean might become so horribly poisinous that everything dies and after microbes eat all the dead biomass and then each other, then they start eating the plastic 😬
