    Default Can someone please explain to me

    Why it's "meatspace" and not "meetspace"?

    Because it's where you get meat.

    Also where you meet others.

    Can't it be both?

    The plane on which we exist currently is called cyberspace. Because it's full of cybers.

    The plane on which our physical bodies exist is called meatspace. Because it's full of meat.

    It stands to reason a simple meatbag like yourself doesn't know how such a term can exist.

    I haven't really heard of this term, so I did some researching. I read it's supposedly a tongue-in-cheek opposite of "cyberspace", referring to the real world to flesh and blood, hence the "meat" for "meatspace".

    But, what do I know?

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    but you can't meat in cyberspace, yet

    The people who inhabit it... they're made out of meat.
