Off-Topic Deathfat Encounters IRL - This thread is not your personal army.

[Dr. Butt]

I'd say I helped her immensely. She's lost 40 lbs last year and never gained any of it back. I taught her how to eat healthy and enjoy exercise. She grew up in the south so every meal was chicken and dealers choice of starch. Meanwhile I met her when I was starting military training and beginning to take my health very seriously.

noooo my dependa isn't fat she's thicc noooooo you can't say the quiet part loud noooo enlisted men in the USA aren't 80% desk-humping sPeCiALisTs addicted to reddit noooo i'm a tactical supergenius and regular genius too

This was a few years back, but I was at a cafe towards the end of lunch rush when an absolute hamplanet came hurpling in with her walker. Doesn't go up to the counter, just parks herself at the nearest unoccupied table and starts barking her order out across the restaurant to the guy working the register—no "excuse me," no "please," etc., just "I'll take a..." as though she were alone in her car at a drive-thru rather than inside a restaurant surrounded by other people. There was a swift and palpable change in the cafe's vibe as this happened, but the poor employee seemed completely nonplussed, as though this was a regular occurrence.

She ordered an excessive amount of food, of course, but soon after, her slightly-less-rotund husband (though emphasis on "slightly") waddled in and joined her to consume their feast. The air in the place had become so incredibly awkward, with nobody daring to stare directly at them, but you could see everyone glancing over at their table regularly, shocked by the shameless gluttony and poor manners.

One of the weirdest and most uncomfortable things I've encountered in real-life, re: ultra-fats, and did absolutely nothing to dispel the notion that fatties are rude pigs completely lacking in courtesy, respect, and self-awareness.

Don't you wish you could just throttle people(?) like that in public? But even then, if it were allowed, or if nobody gave a shit, it probably would be a Herculean effort to find the windpipe, or any other part of the neck. Unless, you know, a fat fucker's neck is more vulnerable/exposed, due to their fat fuckerness. I'd have had them thrown out, I wouldn't care, in the short term, if it somehow offended others.

@Null I'm trying to picture the fuckload of downvotes you'd be getting of this WERE Reddit. Facebook is even worse, last time I saw, but it's probably, as an understatement, become even worse.

Oh, Jesus' Scraggy Hair... I buggered up with the repeated D (the shit at the top of the page of my comment). That's what I get for speed typing, I suppose.

Worked my side job last night. Firehouse benefit show.
Was a family of 4. Parents both over 300 and under 5'6" tops and kids had to be under 10 years old and close to 150lbs each.
Heard the dad as he walked back to their seats saying how "I just dropped 30 bucks on yalls food better eat it all" To the kids. Look and see the mom coming back with a walmart bag packed with hotdogs and hamburgers wrapped in foil.
Between stuff I watched and counted. Two kids under 10 at 12 hot dogs and 10 burgers total.
The mom made 3 trips to the snack stand to get food and drinks for her and the husband.

Worst part was it was raining off and on outside all day and night. Event was held in the area the firetrucks are parked.
So no AC and the big bay doors being openn just made it more humid.
Which meant the huge ass lardplanet crowd,was 140 tickets sold I was told,before the opening prayer was over smelt like hot shit.


But where else can you make 250 to 350 in cash for what is really 1 hours work and 6 hours of standing around talking to people you see at these events every few weekends.

Here's one: my 6th grade drama teacher (drama was a requirement at my middle school) she was fucking massive. Half the time it looked like she had her own fucking gravitational pull. Last I heard she died of a heart attack while eating at a carls jr.

Choked on a ham sandwich?

Bet they threw all that up later. 6 hot dogs and 5 burgers each would make anyone sick except the ultra fatties like Amber. And that’s only one meal.

It’s legit child abuse to me to let a kid get so fat that it really affects their health. I wish I could throttle the parents and tell them it’s not normal for a 4th grader to fall asleep during the day because they have horrible sleep apnea. Or let them eat takis for breakfast because they will often vomit, have nausea or complain of stomach aches coupled with the coffee. It’s too much acidity.

Probably had too many combo meals

 

[RunRufusRun]

Another fattie died in their house recently.
Buddy works for the EMT company was telling me. Was after we had had 4 or 5 days of lots of rain. They get a call that a "Wide load" was dead and might be hard to get out so be ready.

Her yard was all dirt. Now mud. The gurney got stuck. Was told a local farmer brought his ATV and pulled the gurney to the meat wagon.
Second fattie gurney to get stuck out this way in the last few years.

 

[Polexia Aphrodisia]

Missed this year's family reunion, but looking at the photos posted online, two of my cousins have completely ballooned. Neither of them was ever slim, but we've reached the point of "will break the camping chairs that the reunion hosts have provided".

There has always been one family in the bunch who were huge - like, truly massive. My grandma, who hated fat people, would always make some comment on how terrible it was that the fat dad let his two sons become equally as fat as he was. The older son is now completely planetary. I don't think he can wipe his own ass. Judging from the photos, it's not physically possible.

If grandma hadn't passed last year, she certainly would have admonished my one cousin for getting so fat that his button-down t-shirt's buttons would strain to within an inch of their lives over his gut. The other, while not quite as corpulent, has grown a nice, mossy beard to really complement the "never leaves his basement and lives on tendies and Doritos" aesthetic he has cultivated.

 

[LonesomeDud]

I have a colleague who recently tickled me. He is relatively unfamiliar with death fats, and boy, is he impatient with them! We were in a room when this deathfat family member tells us what we're going to do and how we're going to act and just being an entitled jerk. We're standing and she's sitting in a chair, just ripping us new ones about how we suck and don't do anything, and they don't stock Pepsi on this floor, and that sucks, and we suck, and we are probably responsible, and we're KILLING PEOPLE HERE.

My thing is, IRL, you get a certain amount of time with me, and while I won't let you assault me, if you squander your time with me just to be mean, fine. You get one life to live. I am not here to dictate. Well, not my colleague. He starts screaming back at the girl, but he's being the villain HAES accuses people of being, and saying all these unrelated bad things happened because she has poor self-control, as evidenced by FAT. I say that I'm not willing to declare absolutes like that and we should bring the energy level in the room down. For some reason, the messy-bunned 400 lb. swamp witch in her Victoria's Secret sweatpants calls me an asshole and a faggot. At this point, I'm done helping. My colleague then screams, "YOU? YOU SAY WHAT? STRAIGHT OUT THE DOOR!" He tries to dump her out of the chair, but she is so heavy, that in his adrenalin fueled rage, he can't get the tilt, and she's yelling.

Do I calmly walk out of the room? Do I yell for help? Do I help her stand and get to safety? Nah, I just stand there and do nothing, as victim of bystander effect. It ended with with my colleague/the HAES devil being taken away before he could say mean things.

 

[Sonalee Rashitwar]

Someone I know is having weight related consequences, and it’s about 30-50% likely to kill her. She’s a quite fat liberal, almost extreme in my view. Some more sane people call that “too woke, need a nap.” Won’t take even sane non-insulting advice on her weight.

She lost her pregnancy at 27 weeks and developed pneumonia in the hospital. Now on a vent and the odds are bad for survival after a day or two on.

I think there’s likely medical error in there and other bias, because she had such a traumatic loss of her baby that she wasn’t always nice during her initial hospital stay, but a normal person doesn’t develop life threatening complications from a few days in the hospital and have to go back a day after release.

But thing is, even though smaller than many we discuss here, she’s maybe 5’6”, 320-340 pounds, and Asian. I think it hits them harder.

I don’t especially like her, but my spouse does, and she’s always kind to my pets. She would come in to help with them when we were gone.

Just sucks. It’s not “fatphobic” to save yourself.

How is she doing now?

I have seen very few fat Asians. Maybe it's genetic that deathfat status hits them harder, like "Asian flush" (which is a real thing) with alcohol. First time I ever heard of Asian flush was from a Chinese co-worker.

 

[Amberglow]

We had a city council member here who was enormous, grossly so , and so undereducated. She appealed.to a certain demographic in town that thought she was great even as her hot mess kids were getting arrested for various crap. Our beach town was rapidly gentrifying and she was the champion of the po’ valley people in town.
My father, who was in politics at a state level and a very polite man was with me at a civic event when the cow-cil Woman waddled over, and reached behind her mammoth back and pulled forward a tiny man with bad teeth and introduced him as her husband Lucky. I had to make a quick excuse, grab Dad by the arm and walk him outside when he nearly collapsed with laughter. Dad kept saying “Lucky, his name is Lucky!”

It is - all other things being equal Asians tend to develop diabetes and cardiovascular problems at lower weights than other ethnicities. For perspective the Japanese health ministry has set the cutoffs for overweight and obesity at 23 and 27 kg/m2 compared to 25 and 30 in the US. For a 5'8" man (the average height of a Japanese man according to Wokepedia) that works out to the cutoff for a healthy weight being 12 pounds lower and the cutoff for obesity being 18 pounds lower.

Edit to Add: The lower BMI cutoffs for overweight/obesity do not result in lower cutoffs for underweight, Japan uses the same value (18.5 kg/m2) as the rest of the world. Maybe there's good science behind it, maybe it's just taken from the US for convenience, I'm not sure. Good luck commissioning a study on this nowadays.

This is anecdotal but most Asians I've met have also had a naturally lean build - even if they're in the healthy BMI range or slightly over, they just don't carry weight well.

Edit x2:

I have seen very few fat Asians.

Probably culture IMO - at least in the US Asian parents, even ones who are 3rd generation or beyond, tend to be extremely demanding and unforgiving. If little Timmy starts looking a little pudgy that's not something he'll grow into, it's something that needs. to. be. dealt. with. right. fucking. now.

So basically, this was an anglerfish arrangement where the male is many times smaller than the female, attaches himself to her relatively-gigantic body and finally diminishes into nothing more than a set of gonads providing sperm on demand.

Alive, at least, and receiving the proper treatments (it was an error for the hospital to just write off breathing difficulties as relating to weight alone, ironically). Really hope it’s a wake up call for her.

True about the Asian health effects though. And can confirm Asian parenting is generally damn strict. (South Asian aunty who was a huge help and mentor to me growing up was seen as “liberal” and a bit soft for, wait for it, not using corporal punishment or much yelling, though you still couldn’t get anything past her). The culture on parenting is changing some now, but they’re generally still very exacting about what kids should eat.

 

[TEA 3HF]

Oh, boy oh, boy. I knew growing up in the South was good for something. I have had a few encounters with what can only be described as Deathfats.

Dating myself here, but when I was 16 my first job was actually flipping burgers. In fact I worked at the very first Five Guys that opened near my podunk nowhereville home. For context, when you order a burger, just a burger, you get two patties. Cheese burgers involve two patties and two slices of American Cheese Product. The fries are double fried. Throw into the mix that we were relatively close to the local college football athletics fields and holy fucking shit it was a goddamn elephant parade. I got your 400 lbers asking for yet MORE cheese and yet MORE bacon on their burger extra mayo, Large Fries (literally four scoops of fries in one massive brown bag) and I got your 500 lbers in 'muricamobiles asking for that plus another burgerstrosity. That fucking job was part cattle auction, I swear to the Lord.

Then there were the Church dinners back when my parents gave enough of a shit to go. If it could be fried, smeared in fat salt and sugar there it was. Thankfully you can vaguely get a green or two out of the Jell-O salad Bertha was bringing. My dad in particular wasn't a fan of fried food, and he never really told me why. I deduced that as he had been to these lovely events on and off in his life that may have played a role. As a result we didn't eat much fried shit at home and you have little TEA 3HF being picky about the fried cheese and lukewarm hot dogs while a 400+ lb church lady tells him "ya need some meat on your bones, boy, eat up." Good times. Haven't been back.

I have more, but I'd like to keep my breakfast doen, thanks.

4th graders should NOT be drinking coffee unless they are farm worker kids or something. My godbear TAKIS and coffee for breakfast? for 10 year olds??? That should be a fucking criminal offense. How to have ulcers before puberty. SMH.

 

[Dr. Butt]

Bongs give tea to children that young. Coffee is more acidic (but lower in tannins than tea), and does not cause ulcers. There is no food that causes ulcers. Caffeine does not stunt growth either. However, children under 11 probably should not drink coffee because it messes with their sleep cycles, unless they're ethnically French/Italian and therefore somehow immune to the stimulant effects.

Dude....I'm shitposting, not making a formal declaration that coffee gives kids ulcers ffs.

Besides, I've no doubt Takis will be found to cause ulcers (and cancer) and acidic coffee alongside them won't help.

Regarding tea, it also has like 1/4 the caffeine that coffee does and is much more benign in the body overall. Many people who had to stop drinking coffee because of how painful it was with heartburn and yes, ulcers have switched to tea and feel a whole lot better for it. I'm fine with 4th graders drinking a cup of tea. (without takis)
