The other side to that is realizing how sick you feel after eating three giant KitKats

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Doesn’t matter. The fourth will put it right.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Goddammit I originally put four and then edited to three LMAO

[–] teft@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

And the fifth brings you back to upset tummy.

Shortly after moving out on my own I realized I could just buy broccoli and steam it and eat it whenever I want. Keep in mind I LOOOOOVED steamed broccoli; especially with lemon juice and butter.

I have binged on candy and felt awful afterwards but never in my life have I felt as miserable as I did the night after I ate a whole head of broccoli. The trapped gas in my abdomen literally made me wish I was dead.

…and my dumb ass had to do this twice before before I made the connection…

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 10 points 1 week ago

...that's mostly due to it being undercooked (or cooked-just-right in my opinion), which i learned the hard way after binging on a giant bag and fearing i needed to rush to the hospital until an absurdly-long-winded bout of flatulence relieved the pressure...

...if you overcook your broccoli it doesn't have the same effect...

Dude, you know what's worse than trapped gas from broccoli? Trapped broccoli. Be careful.

Well being an adult is taking a giant bite through a bunch of giant kitkats, then putting the rest away for another day.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Just wait until you realise there are FOUR Kit Kats in the image!

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think there's actually five, haha

I've resigned myself to having to only Fuck Nestle on most of their products. Perfect is the enemy of good.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

I don't think there is any Nestle product I need

But being an adult is realizing those choices are accommodated by consequences. Like all your friends giving you shit for being ‘lol random’.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But being an adult is realizing those choices are accommodated by consequences

No! I specifically ordered my increased autonomy without any adulting! I demand a replacement or a refund!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Refund granted and adult status revoked. Credits were added to your adult account, which requires you to be an adult to sign in! Have a good day. :)

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 week ago

At least you can decide for yourself if you want to accept those consequences.

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then you feel like trash the next morning because you starved your body of proper nutrition. If continued long term, you become a fat diabetic.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If your body reacts this way from eating too many sweets once, then your problem started weeks before.

The human body needs way less nutrients than people generally assume.

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, either because of lifestyle choices in general, or a genetic predisposition towards such things, I would assume.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I ate something like this, I'd feel awful in a matter of minutes, probably about 30. Oh, it would taste awesome until then.

I'm not diabetic, but hypoglycemia sucks balls. I can't even eat a fucking banana unless I've just had a meal. 😕

Me, as a child: "I want to eat four KitKats at once."

My parents: "You'll give yourself a tummy ache and spend the rest of the day puking and shitting."

Me, as an adult: puking and shitting noises

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We still live in a society governed by laws and morals.

Straight to jail.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

You're right, and it's a jail of diabetes.

I was 26 before I realised that I could have as much bacon as I wanted whenever I wanted.

[–] ook@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Tell that to your arteries at 35.

They say bring on the crestor lined bacon

Anyone else just randomly bought a cake and ate the whole thing?

Being an adult isn't all bad.

...one morning when i was in college, my roommate and i realised we were grown-ups, so we went to the grocery store, bought two tubs of frosting, came back to our apartment, sat down with spoons-in-hand, and watched an afternoon of arthur c. clarke's myterious world on the sci-fi channel...

(ugh; never again)

...i learned the same lesson chewing a jumbo-pack of fruit stripe all-at-once four years later...

The best part about eating kit kats wrong is the look of disgust on everyone's faces as you do.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's no right way to eat a kit kat. Fuck nestle.

I was in college and loved Arby's beef and Cheddars. Ordered 5 at the drive through, ate them all within 20 minutes. Oof. I still remember how heavy they were.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 week ago

...i spent a summer internship working at an office where arby's curly fries were the only vegetarian food within walking distance; haven't been able to stomach them since...

He's trading in his Chevy for a Kitititit-Katatatat

It’s funny till you been a grown up too long and you get either disgusted or scared of this lol.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

Man was it nice to fill up a shopping cart with ALL THE SWEETS and no-one could stop me.

[–] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

When I started living on my own I baked a whole thing of cinnamon rolls and ate them all.

[–] sga@lemmings.world 5 points 1 week ago

I never even thought that i would call someone this, but you have forced me to. YOU BARBARIC!

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

Who eats a kit-cube starting from a corner?!

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I used to have a kit Kat addiction and would eat a whole chocolate block sized bar of the stuff like this

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Choosing to by a psycho is definitely a choice.

[–] NegentropicBoy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Then spit it right out again, as you know how much damage it will do.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Just wait until you realize that being an adult means sucky responsibilities.
