yeast workers of the world unite

yeast union

wait what

what if it unionizes?

but also terrifying

that's actually kinda cool

like a tiny drunk factory

it would just want to ferment forever

now we're cooking

oh god

like... ai yeast?

but what if it's a *sentient* yeast?

ok fine

so we can do whatever

it's virtual

why not

on the yeast

tiny hats?

we could add tiny hats to it

yeah pretty much

just for fun?

ok but what's the point

exactly

so it's like... philosophy beer

but it's *conceptually* fermenting

so... not really

it's a digital process

i mean... kinda?

in the simulation?

like... actually ferment?
