The Many 

One of the villains of System Shock 2, a kickass computer game.
The Many are a species with a collective conciousness. They are designed to... "harvest" humans, and add their tissue to the biomass, so that new organisms may be created. They're like the Zerg, but creepier.
The Many were created by wordSHODAN/word an artificial inyelligence who went mad, and saw herself as a goddess.
"Why do you help the machine mother? How can you value cold metal over the splendor of flesh?
Your friends, who you deem dead, are not.
They sing in our symphony of life."

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
