The people of flint need clean water but instead we get the worlds biggest cup of coffee. The worlds bigest nachos are a waste of food imagine getting paid minimum wage to throw buckets of beans on a pile of food that could feed a town. Pizza hut made the worlds largest pizza in 2023 weighing 6200 kg. They claimed they donated this abomination to local food bank. Imagine youre picking up your weekly groceries from the bank and they give you some slab that resembles pizz. You’d get some that were all crust or has a footprint from a worker accidentally stepping on i. You wouldn’t be able to heat it up it wouldn’t fit in your toaster oven. God forbid we get some healthy surplus food instead of corporate monstrosity leftovers.

    Absolutely. Same with all the "competition " of fast eating or eating as much as possible.

    Both of this happens a lot on tiktok and youtube also …

      At least this is inherently limited to a human scale. They don’t bother me nearly as much for that reason, especially if they aren’t like, glorifying/promoting others to do the same. Some varieties of the format are better about recognizing the inherent absurdity of a human downing 76 hot dogs or whatever, vs like, mukbang. idk, it’s probably all bad on some level but making a 7 ton “pizza” is on another level

      afaik competitive eaters typically limit their caloric intake on normal days in order to not gain weight, so while it ends up looking exorbitant it basically averages out to normal people
