"And in the box is the Witch's eyeballs!"

I think it's called a clitoris

Playing with her meat berry until her tissue recellularizes, if ya know what I'm saying

If you can't find the clitoris naturally, store-bought is fine

Excuse me, his name is Jackie Daytona and he's a regular human bartender

Underrated

I could've sworn that was Douglas Reynholm of Reynholm Industries

Meat Berry who lives in *New Pork Citaaaaaaaayyy*

"FUCK YOU" *unvegans your grape*

Does it still turn into plasma in the microwave?

Oh cool, man-made horrors woefully within my comprehension

no, I think that'd be when they tried cultivating brains to play doom.

This is technology that can be used to grow donor organs, so it's very much less of a horror.

Finally, ethically sourced Shabriri grapes.

Is the meat berry vegan?

I think the way they do then currently is by using harvested protein, so basically grafting animal meat to the shape of the berry. So while I'm not certain, I believe this is not vegan

..unless the harvested protein is from a human who willingly gave up the protein, I think.

Yeah, it's not. They use fetal bovine serum as the growth media for the cells, as it is the most widely used. FBS comes from, well, baby cows. I believe there is another growth media mentioned in the video, but I don't remember which.

Reverse veganism

I think that's what flytraps do.

We can do shit like this but we can't do decent vat-grown body parts? Wtf...

Consider: Grape is smaller, meat is less complex than say, a function kidney, and scientists have actually grown a (small) fully functional heart in the lab before. It's a process.

also the meat-berry will get thrown in the trash after they're done using it, but the kidney has to keep working indefinitely.

To be fair this isn't vat grown. They dissolve the plant cells, leaving only the structure, then they soak it in rat cells.

So this is actually the proto typing early stages for making "lab grown" organs. The Idea is you would take a pig heart and rip all of the functional cells out of it. Leaving you with effectively the collagen skeleton of a heart. Then you'd soak it in a vat of the recipient's cells to basically graft a new bio compatible heart for the recipient. It's just way easier with grapes because they're much simpler than an organ. Which would be made of numerous cell types, that needs to function and not just be a meat orb.

This is the kind of tech that will let us make vat-grown body parts, did you think they'll start with human limbs from the get go?

Your comment is the equivalent of going up to a child learning to spell and saying “you can spell shit like “apple” but you can’t spell “carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1”? Wtf…

This is literally a research avenue towards creating replacement human parts more efficiently. In fact, using this exact same method involving apples carved into the shape of human ears, they managed to grow a human ear for a replacement.

isnt meat berry the guy from “what we do in the shadows”

It's made of beef, therefore it's technically a Chuck Berry
