What's with the comments on here trying to torpedo Soylent because of its name?
First of all, Soylent passed $2 million in orders, so there is a demand for this, even in its uncertain, preliminary state.
Second of all, what's wrong with the name? You'd have to be absolutely off-the-rails crazy to think even for a moment that it's actually made of people, which leaves the only other meaning - food substitute.
Really, what is it with the undue hate coming at Soylent in this comment section? Jealousy?
- jonnybgood 13y agoDon't confuse demand for hype. There's a demand to have a trial phase with the product, but not for the actual product itself. We'll see if there is actual demand once that phase is over.
- diminoten 13y agoNo one is demanding a trial phase with the product, as such is not an option. The only option is the product, and there is $2mil worth of demand for the product (likely higher since that number was reported). Why are you trying to cut them down? "We'll see if there's an actual demand"? There is an actual demand. $2 million in demand. That's undeniable.
