In real life the law of the sea recognises that if shipwrecked the weakest member can be eaten without consequences. And in fiji where the british army Recruits one percent of the population there is still at least one tribe that practices cannibalism, not mainstream throughout Fijian but there is a real world connection between cannibals and real life military.

Absolutely perfect sponsorship! Good to know Soylent’s humans are free range. I don’t like battery caged cannibalism.

The beginning of referencing Soylent Green movie in conjunction with the sponsor and the topic are hilariously witty, it's a genuinely clever segue and writing skits from Wes Also I hope there's more lore of culinary and gastronomy in Warhammer 40K lore, especially in the more "civilised" worlds in Imperial space and even outside of that (also does Emperor before internment to Golden Throne, Primarchs, Custodes, the perpetuals and any alignment of Warp champions requiring conventional food nourishments?)

There is actually several diseases in the real world associated with eating human flesh, so I could definitely see the idea that the spiritual poison in Warhammer being some of a twisted evolution on that. Maybe the Death Cults and Corpse Starch involve similar holyish rituals to make it not poison? That's about as important in Warhammer as actual food processing

Most of those diseaes ( physical not mental) are resolved by proper cooking of the meat, just like pig.

​@@ehisey most can be, but not all. Don't think you can cook away the prions that cause the nastiest ones - like BSE or Kuru. I mean, you can destroy prions with heat - but the level of heat required for that is much higher than what you need for cooking, so any contaminated meat that's "cooked" enough to destroy prions is going to be beyond unedible. You'd be eating literal charcoal - and there still would be a small chance there's a bit of prions that survived thatm which could be still enough to infect.

I haven't played Dark Crusade in years but this video reminded me of the flavor text you get for beating the Chaos forces as Tau. It states that the Kroot auxiliaries that consumed Chaos bodies during and after the battle had to be put down because they started to mutate and go berserk. I don't know if 40K has ever done this but a supply of tainted corpsestarch giving everyone a Chaotic case of food poisoning would make for an interesting story. Honestly just want more on the ground kind of stories like King of Pigs.

It’s probably the niftiest tech in the setting . A ring that turns into a weapon or a personal shield similar to other settings like Dune. Or a video explaining why hand to hand combat is so prevalent in the setting due to things like personal shields, etc.

The duality of man to have great scholars and high tech worlds and others are savage or brutal/dangerousl such is life of good and bad and the gray in the middle

Love the idea of a Marine walking pask someone chewing on a leg "Morning Citrezen fine day for it" *tips hat and walks off*

so the wording i think is whats important, the imperium sees the consuming of the human form to be heresy, not consuming human meat, it sort of works with the grinder cults thing aswel due to them going mad when they eat unprocessed human meat and everyone eating it out of cans is fine, so thats a potential answer

I've wondered about this for awhile but in particular I found the info about the Space Marines interesting. My friends and I are playing the Rogue Trader TTRPG and my character is a rogue Space Marine that has joined as an archmilitant. The idea is that he was part of the Astral Claws and the Badab war but instead of following his brothers in treachery as the chapter became the Red Cosairs he escaped during the recovery of warp travel. To make up for the lack of "Space marine" abilities he is mechanically speaking a mutant and one of the mutations I got was that I can regenerate wounds (great for Space Marine recovery times) but I had to eat raw meat or starve which has lead to him having no choice but to eat human flesh in his backstory (we only recently started) and rumors of him being a cannibal on the ship as his past identity as a Space Marine is hidden. This has definitely given me some ideas how to play out this part of a Space Marines life.

"OOOHHH MYYYY GOD! ,Their eating him, then there gonna eat me".

Let’s go new video dropped

*Sees thumbnail* "I'd risk it."

Love the sponsor for this one 😂

Seeing that the Rogue Trader dlc will be adding a Deadcult assassin companion, this video is highly appreciated for me to learn some lore :p

Doing the god emperor's work Weshammer, making that joke about Soylent the branding is just too on the nose glad there are people out there to make that connection.

for other 40k based food trivia: there is an underhive 'delicacy' ... called 'scrape' it's a fatberg. literal drain scrapings.

Clad to see you getting sponsored by a brand you so obviously enjoy.

Another great video! I think corpse-starch is a grim necessity, though that doesn't mean it isn't also a hypocrisy. Maybe it should be called a necessary hypocrisy? When it comes to the Mortifactors and the Sons of Malice I suspect there was more than Cannibalism that led to the Sons of Malice becoming Excommunicated while the Mortifactors have proven themselves to be loyal in spite of the Cannibalistic practices (doesn't mean they aren't viewed with suspicion). Those are my two cents anyway.

I literally sent my brother a meme about the green Soylent drinks earlier today at work before I even saw this video lmao

Love the video. Did you bump this stuff off of what the wrath and glory ttrpg book has for death cult assassins?

I figured that the reason why it's common on some planets more so than Others is due to said planets administration being overwatched by the adeptus mechanicus, not giving a fugg what they're feeding the denizens as long as their production stays consistent.

I think it's the intention behind the consumption of the human form like if you're celebrating it and you're so happy about it then you should be destroyed but if you're doing it just because you need sustenance or information it's okay.

I wonder, do they avoid using the head/brain of humans when making corpse starch or is the Kuru disease just a bonus ^^

Dude, the product sponsorship 😂😂😂 perfect for the theme!

I'd like a video on the different sects of the imperial cult.
