for just $1 you can create sentient gluten
@mimir gluten never asked for this
@slyka @mimir Gluten free?
No, free gluten.
@mimir Good to know that conscious gluten is vegan

@mimir me, biting in my seitan burger

seitan burger: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH“

@number137
The "fake meat looks like real meat" fetishists have gone to far

@mimir

@mimir Now look what you've done, you've fucked up a perfectly good gluten is what you did! Look at it! It's got anxiety!
@mimir omg is this the start of the fidough/daschsbun pokemon line IRL??
@mimir for just one dollar i get the opportunity to taste pain
@mimir probably more intelligent than a LLM.
@mimir interesting that even with consciousness it remains vegan/vegetarian!
@mimir you just created my immune system's greatest enemy
@mimir If you do that it's decidedly NOT vegan!
@mimir I mean, we're already trying it with silicon, why not try something squishier
@mimir
"I only eat things that can suffer."
@mimir So obsessed with whether they could...
@mimir nah I let it stay subconscious
@mimir
"Gluten, free your mind."
@mimir wait, if the gluten is conscious, will it respect boundaries? Like, "okay you can go in my intestines but don't touch anything"? *smashes the button just in case* (I have celiac lol)
@mimir Unnecessary. Already is sentient. Hail Seitan!
@mimir the way this is worded makes it feel like youre going to make all gluten on the earth conscious for only One Buck

@mimir Years ago, I was involved in a project at work which had, as one of the tasks, “End user awareness”.

I never did find out if they were intending to use pharmaceuticals, or something more permanent.

@bob_zim @mimir ah, word hyphenation, so important
@mimir I... feel like that defeats the purpose of eating gluten 
@mimir The true source of the Seitanic Panic
@mimir reminds me of "A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking" by T. Kingfisher - the main character had a jar of semi-sentient yeast dough starter
@mimir gluten cant ever be really conscious its just growing the way it thinks you want it to #lowQualityFacts

@mimir

Both of y'all deserve:   Perfect.

@mimir "my pizza base won't stop screaming in psychic anguish, 1 star"
@mimir Listen, I feel like if I have to be concious right now so should the Gluten.
@mimir
I’ll give you $2 if you create sentient politicians.
@mimir It wakes up, shuffles forward, moaning "Graaaaaains..."
@mimir I was there at the celiacgularity and watched the wheatpocalypse unfold...
@mimir Dunno man, I've seen sentient yogurt...

@mimir That’s why we call it seitan

I’ll see myself out

@mimir Uh...what? Sounds like a scam.
@adisonverlice @mimir what I assume it is supposed to mean is basically "gluten free-ish". Basically "we will try to avoid gluten in your food, but no promises", which is probably fine for people that are gluten intolerant, but not for people with Celiacs.
@mimir I fucking hate this terminology. I have Celiac disease. The food is either gluten free or it's not. It will either make me sick, or it won't. "Gluten conscious" or "gluten friendly" just confuse the matter.
@TranshumanBlues @mimir The gluten doesnt sound very friendly if it makes you sick

@cinebox @mimir The gluten is perfectly fine. It's my malfunctioning immune system deciding the gluten is a virus out to murder me that causes all the problems. 😅

Still, I don't like the weasel words that make me wonder if they mean gluten-free or if they mean gluten-free ingredients in a gluten-contaminated kitchen.

@TranshumanBlues @mimir long time Celiac here, and the vigilance required is a tiresome effort. stay well.
@mimir I'm not sure that's a good idea... But maybe I watch too many #Monsterdon movies.
@mimir His name is Herman and he lives in the fridge.
@mimir For 1 dollar they tell you that your wheat based dish has gluten in it.
@mimir for sentient bread, for a sentient sandwich https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2I481MAfLG8

@mimir I feel seen. Or should I say: my body is bready
