2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

When I cook meat, eggs or with ginger for people who don't like them, they're usually converted. Turns out most people who don't like steaks, ribs, roasts, etc just haven't had good ones
Reminds me of a King of the Hill quote:
Hank: [Presses his tongs into the steak cooking on the grill] Firm but with a little give. Yup, these are medium-rare.
Bobby: What if somebody wants theirs well-done?
Hank: We ask them politely, yet firmly, to leave.
100%
you know this is really mean, that person has a name and is an individual, just calling them ginger is rude
I didn't realise I had to be politically correct about cannibalism
I think you should digest this lesson :D
I don't like steaks because you have to kill an animal to make one. Can you make a steak the way I like it?
You'd rather we cut the steaks off of a still living animal? Seems kind of cruel.
I think you're lost, bud, this ain't twitter.
Yeah. I'm not vegetarian but converting people to eating meat isn't really something to be proud of.
Not yet, but we're getting pretty close. Cultured tissue plus 3d bioprinters will be able to give you a genuine steak which never involves a conscious animal, probably in the next 5 years or so. Maybe sooner.
Places making cultured meat are shutting down because they don't get funding and they can't get permission to sell the stuff.
Companies aren't tech. Regulations change, new funding comes through. Eventually it's gonna be cheaper to cultivate meat than farm it.
That's a shame, I was really looking forward to eating clone meat.
I say we ban animal meat, and let the capitalists satisfy the demand by funding lab meat!
