Are you ready for 'Star Trek food replicators'?

[ChickenTacos]

You do know that 3D printing has infiltrated the food industry, yes?

Guess what happens after that?

[DarkCrystalMethod]

If they already have the 'food product' in a container to feed the 3D printer then why not just skip the middleman and use some kind of ice-cream scoop to serve it?

Presentation, of course.

You want to eat your food like a baby?

I don't imagine it would pass easily through a standard milkshake straw.
Also I presume it to be ready for consumption as-is. 3D printers probably don't cook evenly.
All food turns into mush in your stomach anyway.

Tender and juicy inside.

Like all of us.

Just like the "impossible "meat"" I'll pass on that too, tyvm.

tbf, star trek replicators rearrange things on a molecular level, rather than just grabbing a bunch of slop and reshaping it

Star Trek will never happen. The Ferengi have made sure of that.

Ever met a gymbro?

Not much. 3D printing food isn't much more than a novelty toy for fancy restaurants, as they actually run on, you know, FOOD.

Some buddies of mine built a chocolate 3D printer. It was a fun toy, but nothing that's going to change the world of cooking

Perhaps not today.

But, let it cook.

Listen the problem I have is I believe in energy-matter conversion, i 100% know we can smash photons into solids, liquids and gases.

But smashing photons into biological products? IDK.

Smash photons into a decent quality 3-course meal? I don't buy it.

"I present to you and everyone else this world first, a food replicator!"

*prints a hot syrup sponge cake, seconds later the outside of it opens and squirts what can only be described as a half made mess between raw products and their base components that stinks*

"Uh.. it seems we have a malfunction of this food replicator at this time, we apologize, this has never happened before."

Yes, this!

Tea! Earl Grey! Hot!

oh okay my understanding of replicators was completely wrong
