He wrote an article for The Guardian on it.

I thought this was relevant to the episode.

In answer to the eternal question: "Who buys soylent?"

Daytraders.

The math there doesn't even make much sense, it'll take as many trades at 1k to double 100k as it will at 100 to double 10k

Posted about 2 hours ago, another thread about mold: https://www.reddit.com/r/soylent/comments/5randg/this_is_not_supposed_to_be_happening_with_20/

Another thing that struck me browsing the top threads in /r/soylent was the number of threads that were downvoted to 0, including a harmless "Soylent Green" joke and someone who said that Soylent 1.7 tasted like shit (even though he liked Coffiest). It really is a cult.

Is the community of /r Soylent truly suffering from buyer's remorse if they keep on buying it?

They regret none of the diarrhea, explosive or otherwise, and if you dare to suggest that this stuff that looks like boiled semen might be bad in some way, they will take away your Internet points, motherfucker.

The math doesn't need to make sense when you're trading on SOYLENTCOIN.

I got to ask. All these people seem crazy about "optimising" everything in their lives from food to transportation to human interactions. My question is, what is it they actually DO with the saved time? I've never seen anyone of them write things like "Eating only Soylent gives me much more time to ski/read/work on my definitive book about the history of model trains".

• Spend more time figuring out other things to optimise
• Video games
• I dunno, staring at the fucking ceiling all day

I gotta optimize time for my ennui

I figured the "saved" time is now spent shitting their brains out.

Maybe soylent can rebrand themselves as the best laxative on the market.
