Suppose you had a Star Trek replicator that had some extra obvious features, like being able to interpolate between any existing items (e.g. "halfway between a strawberry and a blueberry").

That immediately reminds me of the age old question: would you eat chocolate that tastes like shit, or shit that tastes like chocolate?

vladmech@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

Definitely the latter

What if you knew it was shit, like you watched something defacate it. It still tastes like chocolate. Would you still eat that over a candy bar that you know is definitely factory produced and sanitary, but still tastes like shit?

Is eating chocolate simply not an answer?!

Maybe our guy is just a corpophage and that option is all upside.

Blergh. If it’s taste only, I’d probably switch at that point, yeah. I wouldn’t be happy about it though!

Which one looks like shit
