“Because you have to wonder: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal, or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken, for example: maybe they couldn’t figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.”

For the unaware, this is a Quote from The Matrix, in which the character muses about how the fake reality which is the matrix might be inconsistent with actual reality but the people would never know the difference. He then goes on to explain that, to him, the steak is delicious, so he does not care.

Yeah, Mouse talks about tasty wheat at Neo’s first breakfast in the real world. Cypher is eating steak during his monologue about going back into the matrix.

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:
