I know someone who has an issue with his sense of taste that most things are bland to him, so he doesn’t really enjoy eating.
Comment on Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it.

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 worked with a guy who had neck surgery that severed the nerves to his taste buds. We worked overnight shifts, and we’d save the old coffee for him because he didn’t mind the flavor of burnt coffee. There was always a pot of fresh coffee brewing and a pot of stale coffee set aside for Matt.

I know the guy probably didn’t mind and waste not want not, but god that just sounds so mean at the same time.

I know, the first time someone said it, he wasn’t there, and I was like… wait, are we just fucking with Matt? And everyone said no, he is a dad of young kids who does shift work. He drinks a lot of coffee (we all did, the coffee machine was perpetual employee of the month), and he prefers to have it room temperature because he won’t feel it burn his mouth. So any time a pot sat on the burner for more than a few hours, we’d dump it into Matt’s pot and let it cool.
I always wondered if it fucked up his stomach, because I know stale coffee always gives me heartburn, but we weren’t close enough to have those comversations.

Happened to me with COVID, lucky i recovered in a few days and can smell and taste normally after.

I’m glad you got your taste back! One time I had chewed cinnamon gum all day and I guess inadvertently burned my taste buds. I couldn’t taste anything for a month or two!

Oh speaking of burning, having raw onions kinda burns my tongue but i can taste things more afterwards. The onion probably cleaned my tongue microbiome so i have a stronger ability to taste.

i partially lost it from covid, but the flu in '18 made me lose my apetite for a while, it was pretty surreal to not want 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.

Can we get this AI tale of nonsens removed please?
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 days ago
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.
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Felt. I like the taste of certain foods, but like I do feel like it’s a chore a lotta days
onslaught545@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
I felt like this when I was bulking and eating healthy. Eating 5k Calories of healthy food a day is a fucking chore.
