Thank you for the response... Yes, I understand the intended double entendre and the tagline, but the whole point is that if you DO understand it, you're still reminded of the original meaning. It's unavoidable. It's just a pretty gross name, to me.
So for some of those who DO understand the meaning, it connotes something disgusting.
And for those who do NOT understand the meaning, their reaction is "wha? what does Soylent mean and what's it have to do with tech?"
The youngest of all might have only heard of the nutritionally suspect food replacement/kickstarter.
I wish this altslashdot site nothing but success and was all on board with Fuck Beta. I just think the name is a poor choice.
