"lab grown meat" is unnecessary, there are already much better options like soy meat, there's no point in making living meat tissue. but the negative options are "i like meat" "bill gates microchip vaccines lab meat waah" so fuck this quiz

I agree lab grown meat for eating is silly. Lab grown fur/leather on the other I think would be awesome. Having all the advantages of fur/leather in a garment without harming an animal harmed amazing. Also way more economical because you'd wear an item for years instead of just shitting out a burger.

there is polymer leather which works fine enough, and if you're a futurist and like wacky technology i remember reading about fungal leather as well as leather made from kombucha scoby, both sound weird and cool. using actual skin for clothing is weird but uncool

sorry but these are not as good as real leather

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

true, they are better, because you're not wearing someone else's skin over your own which is kinda weird

i find it nothing else than natural, but i don't want to argue about this. i think that leather is used because it's both strong and nice to touch. if there was another synthetic that could match leather’s durability, feel, and aging, i would use it over leather. that's why i think that lab grown meat could be a good idea
