Can't speak for this specific kit but in general: A big problem with lab grown meat and cell tissue culture is that to grow cells in vitro you usually need fetal calf serum. That's a liquid from, well, cow abortions basically, that contains a plethora of different molecules like growth factors and mediators. As far as I know, there is no vegan alternative to this yet. We are talking about a liquid here whose composition is really complex, so it's a really big task to create a plant based FCS alternative that performs just as well.

Tldr: probably the set contains a liquid made from cows.

I find it more impressive that someone decided to name their sons dick and butt

I once came around the hypothetical of like, for how much would you sell your foot. People talked about millions. I modified the question to selling a toe because I couldn't find anyone willing to even name a price for their foot. My friends were still like 5 mil, 10 mil, 100 mil when it was about a middle toe. Except my coworker, not having heard anyone answer the question, he was like "oof, hard question, I guess 50€".

Should I be scared to google it?

I kind of fail to see how a life in which all my basic needs are secured as long as I agree for them to be secured for everyone else, thus freeing me from anxiously giving my life to the futile attempt to crawl above others, is "altruistic". Working your ass off for nothing but your crude survival and the benefit of a handful of others doesn't seem very selfish if you put it in this perspective.

In any case, whatever is going on right now - it's... not good, to say the least. Wanting to fix the problem with the problem is horribly naive.

Anyway, nice meme.

Same. My partner needs his quiet time and alone time and just a spouse and child (I am the primary caregiver) is so overwhelming. I never expected to become the parent of an only child, I felt like just me and my sister was so little when I was growing up. But now this is what I am stuck with. Just one child and a spouse I hardly interact with because it's too much and meditation and peace and quiet is making them more happy than time spent together.

Your first link talks about butter and other saturated oils, then there's a link about coconut oil (also very saturated) and abdominal fat and then a link about frying food.

There is no mention of, for example, linseed oil (which you should not cook obviously but which is great in a dressing or on potatoes ) or rapeseed oil (which is also quite heat resistant and great for sauteing). Both are great sources of both energy and omega 3 fatty acids and help to move the prroportion of omega 6 to omega 3 to the right. I'm personally not a fan of the olive oil hype but the mono saturated fatty acids and polyphenols also tingle some people's shlingle.
