Wow, I was on reddit reading a post. OP was complaining how ppl were too hesitant to eat the dead until day7 in the Society of Snow. OP says he’d have started eating the dead by day2. DAY 2. Fucking insane. I mean, I totally understand having to resort to cannibalism for survival, but start eating them on day2? Ppl are fucking unreal. This is why I stay home and don’t want to be around people anymore- cuz ppl are fucking assholes/nuts!
1st off- the human body can survive ~30d without food. Only 3d without fresh water, but food the human body can do without a pretty long time. And TRUE hunger doesn’t set in for at least a few weeks. I’ve fasted before and the hardest was the first few hours/first day. After that, I didn’t feel hungry. I managed to go to day6, but only bc I was craving junky food like pizza and noodles lol. I could have actually gone longer if I had the disciple. And I’m only about 150 lbs so I’m relatively “small” compared to most Americans and have less fat to survive off of. Well I’m about 150lb+ now, that was like 4 years ago when I fasted 1 week, and I was “only” ~135lb back then (pre-pandemic).
So if a normal 135lb person can go 1 whole week without food no problem and not feel hungry, 2d is fucking unreal to start going to cannibalism!! OP sounded like an asshole. Like I totally get resorting to cannibalism if needed for survival, but based on OPs wording, some ppl just wanna kill or eat dead ppl just bc!! He’d be the one knifing/shivving someone in the back, after all the dead bodies have all been eaten.
Also, rescue sometimes takes a few days to arrive. OP would’ve eaten multiple bodies by the time rescue came.
Also, if food is in limited supply, you should RATION your food, not start chomping on what little food there is on DAY fucking 2. Fucking stupid.
Also, how pampered are you that you think being hungry at DAY2 requires EATING PEOPLE?! Like have ppl never gone 24hrs without eating? I guess not Americans! 1-2d without food is not a big deal. It really isn’t. I mean, your real worry should be dying of hypothermia, bc that can kill you in less than 2 hours, not hunger. Especially since the avg American is fat and has more than enough to survive on for at minimum 1-2 months. 1mo if avg size (~150lb). 2mo if overweight. 3mo if obese.
God forbid I have to get stuck with a group of ppl anywhere for any extended length of time. There’s always a few that’s ready to shiv you for no good reason other than the fact that they’re fucking homicidal/insane/assholes who just want an excuse to kill. And yes, based on OPs wording, he does sound like an ass. And eating what little food you have as soon as day2 is stupid af. And if this was real life, the little shit would’ve snuck and eaten some ppl starting day2, while others aren’t looking. You know some ppl would do this shit IRL.

I hope never to be in a situation to find out, but that’s why in some cultures there’s such a strong taboo around cannibalism… because that’s how you get Wendigo, and they are darn stubborn to kill, if they exist
They’re my second favorite cryptid, after the Wachuge, which is similar in that it hungers for human meat, but different in method of getting there.
Look at some failed exploration missions, the ones where only a few came back. I’m trying to remember the specific one of the artic expeditions that they started eating people pretty quickly, as you say sooner than they needed to
I know the Donner party did also.
Then there was this guy, Carl Denke, and he was a heck of a cannibal, probably the largest in terms of scale. He had a “pork business” and also made leather crafts….. I won’t turn your stomach any more, but Bailey Sarian did a good episode of Murder Mystery Makeup Monday on it.
How is it at this point that people don’t just pack rice into every emergency kit, and a small pot to make it in? Rice keeps for up to a decade, probably longer in some conditions. Enriched rice can keep you alive for years. Then there are dry beans, also keep very well.
I’d eat rice and beans every day rather than take a bite of a person
My point of the post is to say that ppl are just assholes!! Like the OP of that post, who wants to chomp on the dead bc he’ll be hungry on Day2. Like dude, not eating for ONE DAY IS NO BIG DEAL. And he’s such an asshole about it, he thinks only of himself, not about everyone else, not about rationing your food, not caring about everyone else that would be stuck there with him. And I KNOW there’s ppl like that fucker that really do exist that really would do that shit IRL. Like I get going cannibal in extreme situations, but that fucker would go eat someone on DAY 2. Like WTF. Has NO qualms about it, doesn’t even think that RESCUE might take a few days, and that it’s no big deal to be hungry for ONE fucking day. Like seriously, the human body can survive at least 30d, and given how obese most Americans are, the avg American can last 60d most likely. Anyhow, he’s an asshole and isn’t the only one, as I can read from the comments.
I wouldn’t intentionally put myself in a situation where that can happen, but ya long trips/flights, mechanical failure…bad shit can happen.
I think the safest thing would be a cruise because at worst the ship sinks, they have enough life boats…plus there are so many boats on the ocean, someone will rescue you within 1-3 hours…probably the safest form of taking a trip. Only caveat is very rough waters/ocean storms, then it can be hard to get rescued.
If anything I’d say wherever you go, at least have 2 vehicles and 2 of everything else. Who doesn’t love nature? I’d like to be out there too…except at night…a nice safe cottage or home would be nice…don’t like the idea of camping.
My point of the post is that ppl like that OP are assholes, and they do exist and in higher #s than we’d like to believe. Like HIM being hungry for ONE fucking day supercedes everything, bc he’s selfish. Like if we were stuck with that ass hole in that place, he’d eat all the dead starting on DAY fucking 2, leave no food for anyone else, and then start knifing everyone in the back when dead food is gone and he has to kill.
Like seriously, are Americans THAT fucking pampered that they’ve never gone 24hrs without food? And the answer to that question is YES. 24hrs with no food is no big deal. Even 1 week is no big deal. I fasted for 1 week when I was 135 lbs and it was no big deal. Didn’t even feel hungry. And then you have this ass hole in that post talking about chomping on the dead as soon as DAY 2 bc he’ll be hungry by then. smfh. and i KNOW those types- they really do mean the shit they say. Other ppl in the posts are like “oh he says that now but when he’s in that situation, he won’t do that.” Oh yes he will.
Anyhow, just a rant. I guess you’d have to read OPs post to get a sense of what an arsehole he is, and my issue is that he AND many others are just like him. Most ppl pretend to be good/nice ppl, but most are not. And like I said, I understand ppl resorting to cannibalism when you’re literally starving to death- but NOT on fucking DAY 2.
I’m just going to go out on a limb here and say that OP person sounds like the type of person that would eat the other survivors if no other food was around with no issue. Must have some secret cannibal desires or something. I figure out on the mountains they would sooner die from frostbite than die from hunger assuming they had nothing to use for fire.
exactly. that OP sounds like an asshole, just wanting an excuse to knife someone. he’d definitely be the first one, and the type to kill, the living for food once the dead are all eaten. guy is just itching to do something to someone.
