  • As long as you aren’t stealing other people’s cells to eat them without their consent it seems more ethical than the current meat industry.

    Even if you did, while super weird as long as you didn’t get the cells through violence it’s probably still more ethical than the meat industry.



  • I just got a haircut, here in the US they commonly use some unclear numbering system. They said to me “Do you like it at a 4? We could start there and go to a 3”
