Longest period without eating

What’s the longest you’ve been without eating?

I might have just beaten my record and went 12 days without
any food, just liquids. (Which I was throwing up anyway)

So glad to be back! Had a little miso soup on hridsyd,
nothing Friday but had a few slices of courgettes yesterday.
Today I’ve had a few blueberries and some ratatouille.
Baby steps.

My record is about a week on liquids during a particularly
vile stomach flu. Never been sicker. I recall the triumph I
felt when chicken broth would stay down.

4 or 5 days awake with no food, just whiskey and various
stimulants. was weak as a kitten when all the fuck-me-up
powders were gone

i believe i've written up my adventures with food poisoning
over expired milk in my morning coffee. despite repeated
attempts (and rejections) i was unable to eat for two or
three days. then mercifully, i was able to keep jello down.
i cannot explain how grateful i was to that jello. i
actually ate scads of it for weeks even after i recovered.
heck, kinda want some now

have you lost a lot of weight man? 12 days is no joke, maybe
some ensure drinks would stay down, the vanilla ones are
alright

I’m stunned that I’m actually not looking too bad. All
my tracksuit bottoms fall off, which isn’t want you want
from a comfy pair of tracksuit bottoms. Have to tie my belt
way beyond where the whales are now. But yeah, other than
skinnier face, legs and arms, I don’t look or feel too
bad. : )

i get hunger pains if i go without for more than ~12 hours.
the beast that is my belly gets angry if i don't feed it.
i'm genuinely almost double the weight i used to be but it's
better than being fashionably gaunt. do try and snack if you
can't face big meals yet, we don't want you fading away!

yeah, sorry. that sounds worrisome, i hope you're a bit
better now

its not that extreme, but im not hungry at all for some days
now. i also had a mild fever for three nights and after that
a superheavy headache for two days (sinusitis).

today is the first day where i feel better and can actually
concentrate on something and walk around without gassing
out. after sleeping all day yesterday

but i always tried to get a little food in. a soy shake made
of vanilla soy milk and a whole orange helped. its actually
pretty tasty but in the last 2 days it wasn't at all. i
gulped it down just to get something inside

so, as belb suggested: get some vanilla soy fruit drinks.
they have vitamins, proteins, fibres

For a second I thought you had cute whale pants

Tough to say the longest b to can easily go an evening
without eating, sometimes the whole day, drinking water,
then snacking late at night.

Have had severe food poisoning and few ops, best thing to
help me get my strength back is marmite on toast and a cup
of tea, then next step a good soup.

is there a german word for zanshin?


 

offline EpicMegatrax from Greatest Hits on 2020-03-31 23:56 [#02598487]
Points: 25264 Status: Regular



“The businessman turns out to have a lot of zanshin.
Translating this concept into English is like translating
"fuckface" into Nipponese, but it might translate into
"emotional intensity" in football lingo. He charges directly
at Hiro, hollering at the top of his lungs...

"Emotional intensity" doesn't convey the half of it, of
course. It is the kind of coarse and disappointing
translation that makes the dismembered bodies of samurai
warriors spin in their graves. The word "zanshin" is larded
down with a lot of other folderol that you have to be
Nipponese to understand. And Hiro thinks, frankly, that most
of it is pseudomystical crap, on the same level as his old
high school football coach exhorting his men to play at 110
percent.”

ha, no, it was more this in yiddish:

overcome with emotion : choked up Hunched over my tiny
screens lately, I've found myself … verklempt over an old
video I posted of my son blowing bubbles in the
bathtub.


like, crying when you lay eyes on your first child, you are
verklempt. there is not really a good word in english
for this. you can describe it, at length, but there's no
word to simply reference it.

back in, like, 2014, i used twitter more. i would just tweet
nonsense phrases that popped into my hed. one day, i tweeted
"bloviate verklempt" and was satisfied; moved along

usually, that would be it. i've tweeted my abstract
nonsense; mission accomplished. but the phrase kept popping
into my head, like a song becomes an ohrwurm. i remember
thinking: alright, it was good, but it wasn't that good.
what the shit is this bothering me for?

so, finally, i type my own stupid made up stoned nonsense
into google. i knew bloviate was a word, but i actually
couldn't recall what i meant. verklempt, well, i actually
just made that up, didn't realize it was a real word.

then the google results come back and i feel like i've kinda
self-pwnd with bloviate, but verklempt... wow, trippy, i
really needed that word and i thought i made that up

"emotionally jammed-up" could kinda reference it is my
thinking. like, so much emotion, it brings the works to a
halt

ok, interesting. but when you change the p with an m you get
verklemmt which means uptight

do you know wikitongues? i find it very interesting to year
some german dialects from around the world. with english it
might be different since its everywhere, but when i hear a
granny speaking texas german i can't not chuckle

the word proboscis is a wonderful, unique word.
hilarious, i daresay. i actually remember the first time i
hit the word, in one of the short stories in the star wars
novel collection, "tales of bounty hunters." russel's new
name is mr. proboscis

i'm still more or less isolated on my island of english but
there is this weird feel when something external is
required

i've always wanted to get better at faking accents; seems
proper deep. doing fake accents on prank calls many years
ago, i lacked focus. i would slide between midwestern and
mexican without particularly noticing
