Is a hysterectomy generally considered a munchie surgery now? What do they claim it treats? I mean, I’m not opposed to it, especially if they have it done without previously spawning, but that’s a real head-scratcher.

Hysterectomy would set them up for hormone treatments, be an OB patient for at least a few years, and to potentially even need future procedures as a result.

Anything can be a munchie surgery when you're munching. Hysterectomy can be a legitimate treatment for endometriosis, menometrorrhagia (which is Chelsea's reasoning), fibroids, etc. It's pretty much never the first treatment option though. Of course, the typical treatments never, ever work for these munchies because their cases are always so severe and complicated that they end up needing the most invasive, extreme treatment.

It's also a pretty good long-term sympathy source too. "I always wanted kids so badly but had to have a hysterectomy because my severe medical issues," is kind of tragic when it's real.

Plus the all the potential for real and fake complications from the surgery because munchies hardly ever have uncomplicated surgery.

Has anyone noticed this pattern in families with female munchies where the men tend to gravitate towards medical professions and/or teaching and the women tend to be munchies or some variety of mentally ill? I've noticed this with munchies I've met irl and the munchies here. Not only that but munching, along with anachan-ism, seems to be for the most part a rich or upper-middle-class white girl thing too.

Nurse and other health care work is a popular profession for females with Munchausens by Proxy. Dee Dee Blanchard was a Nurses Aide, Beverley Allitt a Nurse.

A lot of people who've spoken about being victims of muchausens by proxy were abused through female foster carers:

It would make sense that people who like the attention illness brings are attracted to caring professions where they can play that role and also sperg to their hearts delight on collecting medical knowledge.

I think we also have a number of Munchies listed in this thread who have previously worked in health care before they began their full time internet munching carers.

My take is: Some guys who've been brought up with narc / borderline mothers seem to take on a peacekeeping / fixing role and end up attempting to fix everyone they come across (because men often cope with difficult situations through outward and practical actions) whereas women (in general more into inward and emotional / social connections) are a bit more likely to either completely cut ties or follow in the same pattern as their moms. (massive generalisation though)

Also people have a lot less patience for guys who have screaming fits about the ER not taking their drug seeking seriously.

LOL the donating organs stuff. I guess they really believe they are souper special medical snowflakes and researchers will be fighting to look at their brain.

SHE would have & she was like, valedictorian of nursing school & stuffs!

She first mentions handing over tissue such as eyes & skin for research against this….(oh, fuck I forgot what I’m claiming to have!) uh, terrible thing. Out of all the shit she’s said is killing her, what research would those items provide towards understanding her terrible “thing”? Does she even know where she is or what she’s saying at this clearly drug induced point?

Victoria “Hair Loss” Guyadeen celebrates one year since surgery. She said in the caption that it was her first one removed, but said in the comment section of one of her TikToks that it was her second? Make it make sense.

I feel like I'm being petty, but this is legit the only angle she should ever photograph from.

My favorite is the part about her brothers making her believe she'd turn black if she drank too much chocolate milk.

Some Wednesday munchie updates:

Chelsea Lawrence got her hysterectomy rescheduled for September. With some luck, this will actually happen and we won't ever have to worry about her reproducing. Chelsea also got her wheelchair stuck in a rug trying to make a TikTok video lol

Tess Nicholson (@tessyloowhoo) AKA "bitch who fucks dogs", talks about her reaction to her first vaccine dose that allegedly almost killed her.



Victoria Guyadeen talks about hair loss and tells us her weight (~190). Maybe the munchies could get together and do a weight loss challenge, except that would require more work and less asspats. Seriously though, this chick is in her late twenties according to her TikTok and still hasn't figured out how to make her eyebrows look like literally anything else.



And speaking of fatties, Bethany and Nate went to a grocery store a while back and have been using the pictures for posts about supporting Bethany for the last couple weeks.

In other news, Redditors pulled up this AITA post (archive) that certainly sounds a lot like Bethany. Or maybe it's some other munchie. Who knows.

She doesn't sound southern to me. She did a live on TikTok the other day where she'd supposedly been drinking and it was boring as hell but she also didn't sound any different, which would support the high 24/7 conclusion.

Tess just claims edgy humor, if I'm remembering right. But when all your "edgy" humor is racist, then, uh, maybe let's just call a spade a spade.





Does "bless your heart" ever mean anything other than "lol you dumb" because I've never heard it in any other context.

Former Southerner here. "Bless your heart" is versatile and contextual. It can, in fact, be used sincerely. I can hear my mom saying it in response to someone relating, for example, a string of bad luck: "I had the flu and had to miss work and then my hot water heater broke and I broke a toe trying to find it in the basement." "Sweetie, bless your heart!" It's a genuine expression of concern and empathy.

Bless you for posting VG’s hair loss video. I tried to screen record, but didn’t have enough phone storage. She really thinks that showing her scalp in between her thick tresses means she’s going bald a la cancer. It’s so gross.
