Love it! I made something similar a while back: https://initialcornoffering.com/

EDIT: And of course I’m fixing a small CSS bug I just noticed I have now crashed the entire app :(

EDIT 2: And now we’re back up! Thank you all for going on this journey with me.

>You might wonder what the benefit is for you. Well, don't think about that!

Lol. Today is a good day for whimsy

Stonks. You had me at 'Also, “corn” kind of sounds like “coin.”'

Growing up in Ohio, this resonates with me

Proof of steaak is pretty water intensive, which limits scaling and produces just as much waste as proof of work. We should move to a proof of spud system instead, based on cryptographic hash browns.

As the website indicates, "it’s also designed to be easily replaceable by other algorithms based on lab-grown or plant-based meat". Our scientists think of everything!

Yeah, I saw that, but I'm still concerned about plant-based meat emulation being a processing-intensive solution.

I think if it’s water efficiency you’re after you should check out my proof of millet system. It continues to produce new coins even in deserts and historic droughts. And you don’t have to drain Jackson Lake for your proofs!

None of that was covered in their white paper

It wouldn't stay white if we wrote things on it!

The scariest paragraph on that page:

> Wanna launch the next meme coin to reach billions in market cap?

> Have experience with ERC-20 tokens and the financial and legal regulations of an ICO?

> Drop me a line, because why not, I've seen weirder things happen.

Could be worse. Could be thinking of NFTs.

“I have seen the future and it is delicious”

Hilarious parody of crypto world

What do you mean, "parody"?

Making fun of them. A parody is when you impersonate something for humor.

So I own my meat NFTs this time? This time they are real?

At least I can have a steak with it and share it with others for real.

The future is 'really' delicious.

Of course, you can barbecue, broil, or pan-fry your Non-Fat T-bone. Red wine is recommended.

The meat is... it isn't made from people. Right?

Surprisingly, people are made of meat. https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/think...

The meatverse is where people meat. Only meat meats. You are the meatverse. Supreme Meathead Zuckerberg controls the meatverse. We're not quite sure he's meat. He may be a machine from the metameatverse seeking to control the meat.

I never expected Web 4.0 to be so protein-rich!

Your graphics book is great!

Thank you! Realistic graphics are a cornerstone of the Meatverse, with which I definitely totally have nothing to do.

;-)

Meatverse >> Metaverse.

It's the joke
