Just got my first bottle of Soylent today
| give us updates.
Thought about getting some to save money
| Remember it takes about a week for your digestive system to adjust to it, according to the company. I fucking love Soylent so there's my opinion
| What's so great about Soylent?
| >>412461
probably the same as anywhere else.
Can just go on the website

Apparently the point was to make reference to soylent green so people would get curious
| >>412461 I had to order from amazon and i dont have prime, so i paid $4.50 plus $6 for shipping.
>>412604 "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE" kek
but I didn't even think about soylent green when i made the post.
| I still recall the previous batches making people sick.
| What's a Soylent?
| Soylent is a meal replacement that tastes like oatmeal+flavor of the label. It's not supposed to be distracting, and is minimalistic.
| >>412777 why would you want to replace meals? Even if you don't have time it takes a few minutes to boil corn or make some scrambled eggs and those two separate have much more flavor than oatmeal, beside you might change of flavor but still your eating oatmeal, you get tired of it? You fuck up

Correction: improper subsitutes for a normal meal that actually makes you feel full, compared to 500ml of some drink.
| Op here.
I drank it. It was very, very good. Think, the milk from the bottom of a bowl of coco puffs or other chocolate cereal.
To clear some things up:
>>413098 and>>413135 it's only one meal. Each bottle contains 400 calories and 20% of almost every vitamin, mineral, and dietary needs. It's actually pretty damn healthy as a supplement to eating normally.
| And you can get a bottle for 4 bucks on Amazon, but a shipment (12 bottles) comes out quite a bit cheaper. And you can usually find them other places for less.
| I did it for a while back in 2015-2016. It worked out not being much less expensive than my normal cheap bulk bland food. It was super quick though so there's that.
| Awesome movie. Deserves more attention.
| >>414564 absolutely ^-^
but i kinda doubt i'm drinking people. Who knows though, right? Gotta do something with those bodies.
| How does it taste?
IT VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON
| Schmilk by super body fuel is better
| I picked some up back when they first started selling it, as a powder & oil bottle kit. It worked fine and tasted okay but after about a month I started craving real food. There's a quality of life loss if you drink all your meals.
| >>5d9069 I remember hearing somewhere that you're supposed to still have some meals with it to negate that. Then again I've only followed this thing very loosely.
| >>416017 yea, I tried that for a couple weeks too. Maybe I just have weak willpower.
I know a couple of the folks from the biohack.me forum were using a specialized version of it to try and modify the type of vitamin A they were eating in an attempt to shift their vision into more of a near-infrared spectrum.
I think they both ran into health issues from it, but I never followed their project too closely.

| >>416056 ...wow. I'm no bio major but isn't vision into infrared due to how rods and cones are in the eyes?
| >>416477 I'm no college student, but you are absolutely correct. You'd need to genetically modify your cataracts (before they form) to be able to see infrared. It's not like I did this to myself or anything..... ;)

To answer both of you: they had examined how mantis shrimp eyes function, and figured they could replace vitamin A with vitamin A2, which theoretically should have resulted in porphyropsin forming in the rods & cones in the eye, instead of photopsin. This theoretically would allow the eye to detect a wider band of red light.
