Yeah I was actually just trying to find a caloric baseline for donuts after I posted that. 270 cal for a chocolate frosted donut at Dunkin (picked them because many of us have that as a point of reference, not because I’d go there for this task). That’s a lot because you can eat it in under a minute, but overall it’s not a big deal to have one in the morning I guess.
I could definitely put away 4 of those without blinking, and I don’t think I’d really struggled to eat a full dozen but it might not be a good idea for the first leg of this journey. You don’t want to pass out on sweet stuff too quickly, they’re valuable over the course of the day
Nights is always striking this pose, but I never quite got what it’s supposed to mean. Looks like they’re playing an imaginary flute or something. Is Nights the pied piper?
Apparently not a good idea according to competitive eaters. Fasting before gorging just shrinks your stomach. Granted, when I heard a professional competitive eater say this, I didn’t check to see if they were a gastroenterologist or a dietician as well
When you break it down on a per minute basis, almost any food seems very feasible. For example, one hot dog every 30 minutes or so at 300 calories per hot dog (including the bun) would just about do it.
I was once at an archival library for the historical park that is operated here. In it, I stumbled on an account of 2 people who were stranded somewhere. I’m not sure where or for exactly how long, but if memory serves they were stranded for 3 weeks.
Apparently all they had to survive on was maple sap. If that sounds like a bad idea, well, they were apparently fine after 3 weeks. Maple sap actually has a pretty impressive nutritional content for something that is probably generally perceived as being just sugar and water content.
Now, based on my cursory google searcalculations, 10,000 calories would probably be somewhere between 2 and 3 litres of maple syrup. Commonly commercially sold containers of maple syrup are often around 1L or 32oz, so let’s just say 3 bottles. It is probably against the original spirit of the question to consume only that, as @MoH said it would be cheating to just drink a bottle of something like olive oil and maple syrup is calorically dense in that same sense, but I’d like to point out that infamous YouTube himbo and food based stunt artist L.A. Beast was able to down one 32oz bottle of maple syrup in just under 11 seconds.
He also said it gave him bad tummy after but it is unclear if that was because of the volume of the food item in question or the speed of the consumption.
my sister and i got an Awesome Blossom (Chili’s version of Bloomin’ Onion; discontinued I think…) as an appetizer before each having our own regular meals. I think an Awesome Blossom clocks in around 4500 calories
We grew up with an Almond Mom, but also a dad who was also an Almond Mom (just like Barack Obama). So eating that many calories was kinda like… idk. Onion ring Chernobyl?
one time I scooped ~half a jar of skippy PB onto a slice of Linda’s Fudge Cake from Cheesecake Factory so that’s gotta be like… 4000? 5000?
People with kids, what do your kids think of AI stuff?
Was just thinking about how it must feel like to be a kid right now and having people at school talking uncritically about AI slop. This came to mind after I read about politicians saying stuff like ‘we need to get AI into the classrooms’
Three extravagant meals. Just lots of rich and varied foods throughout the day. I’d give my self a long time for each meal, so I could actually eat enough. Lots of coffee and fruit to support the work.
I’m talking like eggs Benedict, French toast, smoothies, chile reino, palak paneer, garlic bread, pasta Alfredo, donuts, sorbet, queso and chips, dates, curry, etc… I would just spend all day eating. Ideally in a beautiful location which I could walk around, and with lots of friends.
