I once drank soylent before going partying, and I didn’t have to use the bathroom at all.

That was really good because taking off my outfit to use the bathroom sucks.

Building upon that, if I just kept drinking soylent, I could party non-stop without bathroom breaks.

So how many days can my digestive system, and body, handle being on a soylent only diet?

Will my guts atrophy?

      it’s a real meal replacement product named after the movie, it was a big trend in the tech crowd like 10 years ago. it’s supposed to be a blend of all the nutrients you need in drink/powder form, people would try living off of it.

      I’m in the same boat as you. I researched it a bit. Yes, Soylent Green is a movie. It is a meal replacement product made up of human remains. The movie takes place in 2022. The real Soylent is not human remains (or is it? 🤣).

      I had no idea meal replacements were so popular.

        Honestly it’s not even that popular, at least not relative to slim-fast in the 90s

        Absolutely loved that novel (novella?). The descriptive language really captures a lot of the theme, from the shipyard chained together into a shanty town to the description of Sols oven being modified to different energy sources as societies resources dwindled

        Would absolutely recommend it, especially if you enjoyed soylent green

      I enjoy the taste of food but getting all your nutritional needs met with a drink is extremely compelling to me. I did it for months if not years.

      I believe i found it

      Looks like someone saw the movie and got mad because “that’s not how capitalism would do it” and then proceeded to sell overpriced astronaut food.

      At least one company made a soylent, it’s just not soylent green. Not sure if it contains soy or lentils.
