He just needed to throw in an “If you know what I mean>” It would have been much more apparent. I’m not entirely surprised Audra didn’t get it…but Sean should have!
What I mean was any combo of the 2 out of the 3 there, plus me.
I did NOT just type that out loud.
Though, I don’t object to that particular gay threesome either.
So why would machines allow people to grow fat in their little battery packs? Wouldn’t they want humans to be as healthy as possible to produce as much power? It would be pretty sweet if someone was fat in the matrix, and when they were pulled out into the real world, they were suddenly skinny, I’m sure they would be pretty excited about a whole new body, and would that then change their residual self image when they went back into the matrix, since they now know that they aren’t really fat?
Was anyone in Zion farming animals? Would everyone in the real world, and in the matrix be technically vegan/vegetarian, since their weren’t any animals left to eat? Does this also extend into the BSGverse, since they are all living off of algae?
How fat could you really get on liquefied corpses? 
Oh, and welcome! Great first post. 
Because the fast food industry is an even bigger power than the Matrix.
Technically, those still plugged into the Matrix are cannibals. Presumably, all the animals in the “real” world are long gone, but plants won’t grow without sunlight (or at least enough artificial light that the power consumption would be noticed), so it’s a matter of speculation what that white paste actually is. :eek:
Cookie! Om Nom Nom!
There’s an image. :eek:
Algae is neither plant nor animal (actually, don’t different types of algae actually belong to different biological kingdoms??) so I don’t think that algae-subsistence is either vegan or vegetarian. Of course, unless the citizens of Zion are cultivating the non-photosynthetic types of algae, I bet those are some lean meals.
I mean this in the least Galaxy Ranger way possible, but I could really use a cookie right about now.
I’m an adjective now?
At least I’ve retained my capital letters. So far.
When’s somebody gonna turn me into a verb?
Hasn’t that already happened? I’m sure we’ve all been GalaxyRangered at some point in our time here. 
Galaxyranger: (v) to indirectly hijack a thread, inadvertently or purposefully, by posting a tangentially-related piece of guttery which is subsequently picked up and run with by others. Ex: Sean totally galaxyrangered the first few minutes of podcast #115 with his discussion of upcoming top-secret surprises for the GWC faithful, when Audra and Chuck took off ripping on The Clacker.
Your also an adverb.
GalaxyRangerly-adv. To do something like GR would do ex. Wow that thread went galaxyrangerly in the past few days
You have increased my vocabulary. Very educational. We should add it to the GWC dictionary of terms everyone should know. Do we have one?
insert chiche’ line like something George Lucas would write ex:
WE do now or
We DO now or
We do NOW
Yup. Algae is a collection of (mostly) photosynthetic uni- and multi-cellular organisms. It’s a pretty wide definition; Anything from colonies of single-celled organisms to seaweed can be considered algae.
Technically, I’d say they’re closer to protists or bacteria (blue-green algae is actually a bacteria) than animals or plants.
I totally forgot about the clearly stated fact that they are fed the liquified corpses of the dead. I guess I was more interested in the notion that once they are out of the matrix and living in zion, their diet is pretty restrictive, I wonder how they get all their vitamins, do you think there was a period where scurvy took over on a ship?
Do you think that if you were addicted to drugs or cigarettes or alcohol in the matrix, that once you were pulled out of your goo pod, you would go through withdrawals?
An interesting question. I would think absolutely you would as addiction can be as much mental as it is physical/biological. Take cigarettes for example…they say the body flushes itself in a few days of all the crap, but it is one’s mind that continues to pine over the lack of cigarettes.
