I’m sorry, the fuckin what?
Its a reference to a legendary post from the early days of the fediverse
Big Soylent fan here, firstly, Soylent isn't designed as a 100% meal replacement, or at least it isn't approved as such.
That being said, the inventor claimed in an interview that he had gone for a month on pure Soylent, and there have been many people who make similar claims.
Stay hydrated, Soylent does make you poop, it's just delayed because of the high fiber. Trust me, try it for a few days straight, you're colon will get cleaned out lol.
Make sure you drink lots of water, that goes for any diet, (lots of people are mildly dehydrated without realizing it.)
I did it for quite some time. I think close to 1.5 years. I bought a metric ton of it during Covid and I never ever got sick of drinking it. To me it’s like drinking water and my brain just adapted to it. I did get tired of people asking me if I was tired of drinking Soylent. That was legitimately nonstop.
If you take a multivitamin, I don’t see why you couldn’t live off of it indefinitely. It does probably have enough vitamins for you anyway. Is that really a life worth living?
Multivitamins don't have much, if anything, by way of caloric value.
Yes, that’s what the Soylent is for.
The definition of soylent is that it contains all nutrients you need. What's the multivitamin pill for?
I think the definition is a food product made from a combination of soy and lentils. Some variations are "nutritionally complete" others are not.
The fictional version of it is apparently named after soy and lent (the religious fasting thing, I guess), TIL. But the real-world version literally has meal replacement in the Wikipedia page title. Was looking for a reference from the creator stating their goal but Wikipedia said unreferenced (at the time that I wrote the Dutch translation in 2014) that it's supposed to be nutritionally complete. The English page was shortened considerably since then, dunno why but this part is gone. That's how it started and was marketed though, so that's what makes it that by definition in my mind. If they've strayed from their raison d'être, idk what they are anymore
Is this shi real 😭 isnt soylent a made up food from a dystopian movie? How do so many people in this thread have experience with soylent
