Are we talking about eating human meat ?

It seems so crazy that I am not really sure what I am reading...

It is not the wrong way to use technology ?

The question is: is it human meat if it didn't grown on the human?
Yes.

Same genome.

So, is this an actual product that you are ready to start producing, or is this just something to raise interest? If Kanye West came to you and say, "you can now push the boundaries of taste with my meat", would you be ready to go?

L O freaking L
Is this a parody on Soylent? If so, I like it.
I'll take this with a side of Soylent. That would be awesome.
it sounds like cannibalism, but they use a modern design and minimal iconography so it's probably fine.
And their company name ends in "Labs"!
.org

Old school.

Were bitelabs.io or bitelabs.ly already taken?

Or bitela.bs? (.bs being the TLD for The Bahamas)
Technically, bs is not a form of human meat but instead the excrement of male cattle.
Someone will surely notice the French pun?
Damn - site not in responsive design - no salami on the go
Parody or real startup, I don't know, but I'm grabbing popcorn and upvoting either way.
Pretty sure you can't sell human tissue (e.g. umbilical cords, etc.) for purposes other than medical, but I may be wrong.

They should have waited until April 1.

And I thought soylent had the eating people market cornered. Fool me once...
This is about the original soylent, the green one.
Technically this is an entirely feasible idea...

Cannibalism isn't illegal...

We already make ice cream out of human breast milk. Granted, it's not cannibalism, but it's close.
It's on linode and they made the mistake of not blocking the IP only route on their server: howtosaybeerinswedish.com is also hosted there (or rather it comes first in the configuration). This doesn't say much though, but it's definitely a parody.
holy shit i wish this were real. that's the kind of company where you just wanna drop everything and work on it because it's so crazy.
Never imagined that pop culture can reach such lows.
This is almost exactly from the plot of the movie Antiviral. It's a dystopian movie where people's insatiable love of celebrities have lead them to eat meat produced from their genetic material and infect themselves with the same viruses as their favorite celebrity. It's a strange movie.

The weird didn't fall far from the tree there did it. It was an interesting concept but I kind of found myself not caring about the movie fairly soon into it. Given the advice he can get at home though I'm sure his future work will only improve considerably.
Soylent should acquire these guys.
I don't have the ability to downvote today, but please take this to Reddit.
Because only Reddit can appreciate some good humor, amirite?
I have the disturbing desire to eat some of my own cloned, cured, salami.
Hmm. Looks like the site is suffering a DoS (friendly, I hope?) at this moment

Interestingly, I got this message when navigating to a secondary page:

So true.

No references to the "Long Pig" food store chain in Transmetropolitan?! (Warren Ellis)

Some of the best stuff he ever did, imho.

Is there anything else (comic/graphic novel) quite like Transmetropolitan in the 'cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk' genre?
When you get right down to it, is it any different than Twitter?
