It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The person who wipes his bleeding gums off on his wall every morning and hasnt eaten a fruit in years is a shitty person, what a shock.
What? Guy has scurvy?
Yeah he eats steak or mcdonals every meal and hasn't ever tried like 95% of fruits. He grew up in poverty and his parents passed away, its sad to witness honestly and sad that its played off as a joke that he's disgusting and lives in squalor. He's extremely rich now and could afford maids or a new place easily but it's part of his brand to be a removed gamer. I think some mental illness is at play here for the continued life in squalor and only eating 1 unhealthy thing when he's a multi-millionaire.
Lets hope the scurvy and mold takes care of him soon
Dude have the same problems as XVIII century sailors lol
Without the excuse of being a sailor.
Did his mother die? Last time I watched him he had apparently bought his childhood home from his mother, since she couldn't afford to keep it after his dad passed away. In general all of his life-stories are horribly depressing and sad, which is why he makes sure to tell them with a certain tone/persona.
Same with Boogie2988, part of the brand
Sure, but that doesn't mean that all of the stories are made up / fake. it just means he found a way to monetize them, which while not exactly kosher in my book, isn't something I can blame people for if they grow up in poverty in Texas.
this man absolutely has scurvy (it's the Owl City in the background and the multiple things of moldy Wendy's chili that really brings this video into cinema quality)
I can't help but feel for this guy, because I've fallen into the same squalor vicious cycle when I've had really bad depressive episodes, I'm coming out of one right now (I hope). That being said, as depressed as I've been, I have never turned off my empathy or good sense, so fuck him.
How is he so skinny when he drinks that much soda and hostess cakes
Calories in, calories out. The soda, cake and fast food along with some steaks is all that he eats, he doesn't eat anything else. Without eating any actual meals, it's hard to get enough calories in to maintain or even gain weight.
I thought constantly snacking on high calorie foods was actually worse for you than eating full meals?
Yes it's much worse for your health, but at the end of the day if you eat 2500 calories of junk food, and your daily maintenance is 2500 calories, you will not gain weight, your weight will stay the same. Though as I said there are serious health concerns, some people in the comments are saying that this guy has scurvy.
Okay, I guess I feel like it'd be pretty easy to get above you maintenance weight eating such carb dense food all the time, especially if you just game all day.
For a lot people it is easy to get above maintenance while eating junk food, as junk food is not satiating, but clearly not for him if he's skinny. I also used to be underweight while eating pure junk, because it was all I ate.
Also, a gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories. A gram of protein has 4 calories. A gram of fat has 9 calories. So the most calorie dense foods are fats, like oils, butter, and nut butters. But it's hard for most people to eat a lot of fats, and very easy to eat a lot of refined carbohydrates. Because of satiation again.
It is worse for you. Being skinny does not automatically equate to being healthy.
I was friends with a guy that had a really bad addiction to WoW and later similar games and ate only fastfood and snack cakes. He got frighteningly skinny after a few years. He was so locked into the grind that he wouldn't eat because that would involve logging off for long enough to go buy food.
He would game non-stop all night only coming out of his room to use the bathroom. His sleep schedule would revolve around server downtimes and zone resets. It was really sad, the last time I saw him he was working at a supermarket and looked so scrawny, pale and unhealthy.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Im pretty sure he only eats like a potato and some shitty $5 dollar steak for meals.
gamers.
wiping blood on your walls is pretty sanitary compared to using the smell of a rotting rat carcass baking in the morning sun as an alarm clock
I would not be surprised if he did this as well.
He did do this and talked about doing it on video lmao. I know, it sounds so fucking stupid that you probably assumed I just made up something absurd and revolting for fun.
Well idk both things just keeps happening for no reason.
