- JofArnold 5y agoHuel?
- hwers 5y agoThat's a funny one since Huel and Soylent kinda came about because of the 1920s meme idea that pills would replace meals in the future. A lot of these might just be self fulfilling prophecies.
- giantg2 5y agoThat's generally how things work. Sci-fi and stuff influences the thoughts of others to help make the ideas turn into creations. I think they even made a documentary about all the Star Trek props that became a reality, but I don't remember. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/16/world/gallery/science-fiction-inventions-became-reality-spc-intl/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/16/world/gallery/science-fiction...

- viraptor 5y ago> how outlandish certain ideas were about peeling your house clean Not that outlandish. My shower glass is covered in high tech hydrophobic substance which keeps it clean, but I have to replace it every couple of years. My kid's high chair is covered in easily washable rubber surface that I can literally peel off after a meal, rinse, and replace. So overall, practical idea that is partially applied.
