Imagine having to force yourself to chew and swallow substances because you will die otherwise.

    I had a friend who pretty much only eats because he knows if he does not he will die. He is perpetually underweight. He just does not enjoy eating at all. Even foods he enjoys he hates to eat.

    Meanwhile, I am over here knowing I am full and standing in the fridge to see what I can make to eat.

      I am always thinking about food. It’s horrible. I love eating. I quite enjoy cooking and baking. I’d love to trade him some of my love for his hate so we could both just have a boring healthy feeling towards food!

      I always think to myself…

      "Cats are weird, because cats are weird. But they all have different personalities. Yet you kind of understand what a cat will or won’t do. A cat will never starve itself, because he just doesn’t like the concept of food. It may eat less than another cat. I’ve had a fat cat, and a skinny cat. The skinny cat liked eating some food when it wakes up. Then it would save half the meal until later. Well what the fat cat would do is eat all of her half, and then wait for the skinny cat to walk away. Then she’d eat the skinny cats remains. We had to start locking up the skinny cats leftover food, and put the fat cat in the bathroom before we gave the skinny cat the other half.

      Then one night the skinny cat wouldn’t eat. At all. She was sick. She died that same night. It wasn’t because she varied from other cats in her willingness to eat food. It was because she knew she was going to die.

      But then you look at humans. Humans are weird, because WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SPECIES??? Some of them are 80lbs as adults, and you can count their ribs, and they refuse to eat because they think they’re too fat.

      Then there’s others who are 700lbs, and eating whole turkeys by themselves, and afterwards claiming they’re still hungry.

      And thats just food. Humans are weird in every single way.

      One time in 2006 I was waiting outside best buy for a Wii. It’s 2am, negative 5 degrees outside, store doesn’t open until 10am.

      Guy in front of me had a tent, and an extension cord, and a tv, and a vcr, and a microwave. He had a tent apartment basically.

      So this guy is watching Jurassic Park in his tent. I can’t see it, but I can hear it. Ilove that movie. Favorite movie, and I can “see” it, just by hearing it.

      He gets to the T-Rex paddock breakout scene. THE iconic scene of the whole franchise. An iconic scene in cinema all around.

      He stops the movie there. He STOPS the movie!!! And instead plays Seinfeld episodes.

      Humans are weird.

          You think I’m AI? You realize I’m a mod at fuck_ai, right?

          My butthole smells like fuck.

          Good luck getting an AI to say THAT! Also, please hate the wealthy. Forget racism. Forget religious divides. Forget every other social divide there is…except fuck the wealthy, free Luigi, and fuck the police.

      I would not eat nor sleep if it wasn’t mandatory. I consider both chores and waste of time.
