There is an old saying about the future being here but unevenly distributed. The pods look nice and would be even nicer with some kind of daily meal kit for a few extra dollars.

Soon we'll have MaaS (Malnutrition as a Service) to fit in smaller, cheaper pods.

That's already here and it's called "Ozempic."

I mean you're not wrong, do people not know how these drugs work? They're not magic, they make you never want to eat and take away the "feeling like shit" when you don't.

[hightrix]

That's not the experience my wife has had. She's been on one of these drugs for a while and still gets insanely hungry, but she's able to feel "full" with a much smaller meal than before taking the drug. If she overeats, she feels like shit.

[swarnie]

What if we could pass the protein slop directly in to you via some form of tube?

Would that help you adjust to your new pod?

That's a little too sci-fi for me but I am sure many youngsters with higher risk tolerance would be happy to pay a subscription fee for more streamlined nutrition delivery systems.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking about, something like this would be perfect: https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/scale_1280/publ...

I see those have the streamlined nutrition delivery and excrement management systems. It's a little out of my pay grade.

[eviks]

You forgot curtains for some privacy, then that would be perfect

[jameslk]

Bugs and Soylent? Then you’d be getting the full future experience /s

[mentalically]

Preferably with some spices to make it palatable.
