Does the “gurantee” include prions..? 🤨
(If you can guarantee no prions — don't really care about the no one harmed bit, as long as I don't know them or they're on my shitlist —, and it's cooked in some way I enjoy — no fancy gourmet spherified vapour shit, thanks — then yeah, definitely, I'm no vegan or anywhere close, but I'd rather eat human than some other animal who can't consent or have done anything to deserve being murdered and eaten.)

mmmm, prions
Ultra-rare, and not spontaneously caused by eating human flesh. You're more likely to get mad cow disease (also prions) from eating beef.
Aren't prions located in the brain?
as far as i understand it they can technically just show up, without you having to eat anything. it's one of those "could kill you from nowhere" things, like false vacuum decay.
but eating human meat, especially brain, will significantly increase the risk, yes

They spread everywhere, and cause progressively worse neurological issues as they spread through the brain.
When "eating somebody out" suddenly gets a new meaning.
they say it tastes like gamey pork and on that basis, no
Hey extrovert, how about you shut up? Silence is nice. We don't constantly need to hear you talking.
Nah, I love my extroverts. They do what I repeatedly fail to do, and help pull me into the conversation and actually get some social interaction rather than sulking quietly in a corner.
Extroverts that know how to pull introverts into social interaction are the best and I have often looked up to them.
ok but isn’t telling an extrovert to talk less the same as telling an introvert to talk more??
like…
Yes, and do you know how often introverts are told to talk more? Do you know how rarely extroverts are told to shut up?
It might be rude to tell an individual extrovert to shut up. But, it definitely isn't rude to remind extroverts as a whole that they don't need to fill every silence with babbling, and to tell them that it certainly isn't a duty of theirs that everyone is thankful that they do.
You will be either in my maelstrom of social interaction or you can leave, I'm partially sorry but I'm nowhere near the steering wheel as soon as I'm in a group of people.

How do you guarantee that? If it's just a matter of asking consent, that's probably illegal. If the person died from other causes (illness, accidents, old age etc.), I'd question whether it's safe (illness) or palatable (old age) to eat that meat.
Just sign up to be a meat donor like you sign up to be an organ donor. if you were healthy enough to have your organs harvested at death, you were healthy enough to eat (probably idk).
It would probably be enough fitting: If you work in a mortuary, an you have cases of young people that consented to donate their dead body to whatever. I mean they are dead anyway. And they get cremated. So know harm in taking the calf.

Not that I want to link to reddit, but there was a thread from a guy who had to have his foot amputated due to injury. He took it home, prepared it and then ate it. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8p5xlj/hi_all_i_am_a_man_who_ate_a_portion_of_his_own/
I have a hard time believing that the foot was entirely unaffected by the injury ... it's whatever if it's your own limb, but I wouldn't eat someone else's limb that was amputated due to injury.
Gangrene's kinda nasty, I agree. Come to think of it, it would be like eating severely spoiled meat. There's a reason doctors cut that stuff out of you.

Cloned meat would satisfy the requirement
Human flesh is said to smell and taste very similar to pork. At least one culture that partook in cannibalism called human meat "long pig" probably because of that. I'm also fairly sure I've heard stories of fire and rescue workers reporting delicious pork-roast smells that turned out absolutely horrifying and put them off pork for a very long time.
It may also be one of the reasons that certain religious texts and cultures forbid the eating of pork. It's probably more to do with how pork spoils quickly in the climates where those religions originated, as well as the risk of roundworms if it isn't cooked properly, but it does also stop the butcher from selling you a pork steak that isn't actually pork, so that's a bonus.

or maybe it's just a translation error haha
I was in the basement working on a electronic project sitting in the floor My parents house. Couldn't find my soldering iron holder so I just had a somewhat deep bowl and set it in upside down
Something surprising was on TV and I looked up, subconsciously I reach down to pick up the soldering iron which was upside down of its normal orientation.
I heard a sizzle. It took a good half second for me to realize it was me.
The lead on the iron was sweet when I touched the burned finger in my mouth, the skin had a decidedly porky flavor to it. Not going to lie it was kind of barbecuey...*
Edit: dictation did me dirty

“For a long time.”
Implying that the allure of pork cannot be denied.

You can make any meat in the lab. Why stop at cow? I want all the tastes.
Imagine celebrities allowing the lab to use their cloned cells to grow "Angelina Jolie's Cultured Thighs" for public consumption or something.
...
Sounds like a Margaret Atwood novel haha
I'll have the rump roast
Everybody eating ass these days smh

Spelling mistakes getting called out increases engagement. I'm not saying it was done on purpose in this instance, but in general it does make sense that you'll see more posts with spelling mistakes because they'll rise to the top. The only winning move is not to play.
What will they do with all this engagement on Lemmy?
Oh definitely, it's not like Lemmy is overflowing with it and I can't imagine the author is the one posting here. I'm just saying that if you're sorting by hot or active you increase the odds of seeing content with these spelling mistakes or silly errors by calling it out, so instead of the presumed effect the corrector wanted, i.e. either getting the author to change it, the poster not bother, or having it seen fewer people, it generally has the opposite effect.
Oppertunity
Pronounced “Guuuur-RON-tee” like a Cajun car salesman.
Sure!
But "no one gets harmed" includes me so I better not get addicted or so help me
