This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is it even physically possible to be that fat? Googling...

... I have returned and yes it is. It is not a place of honour. No great deeds are recorded here. It is a place of badness.

~370kg person is "stepping" on a scale? Yeah, right.

[–] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 10 points 1 day ago

Well sorry. It's greentext so it legally can't be a lie, very similar to TV.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good point. Plenty of people on My 600 Pound Life are literally incapable of crossing such daunting obstacles as the height of a scale or the threshold of a door.

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 16 points 2 days ago

Well if would have to carry 300kg every step, I also wouldn’t be able to cross any obstacles…

He weighs one and a half football fields.

Approximately one kiddie pool's worth of bowling balls

My wife is obgyn and we move to a region that's famous for good meat, so she's having an increase in fat patients, which is an absolute pain in the ass for her. But even so, I don't think she's ever had anything above a 100kg. This shit is just unimaginable, hahaha!

OP's patient guesstimate is probably the value they saw the last time they could actually step on a balance.

Where is that place where nobody weights more than 100kg?

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I checked with her and her biggest patient -a pregnant patient- was 120kg. I can't speak for the rest of Europe (UK / Ireland has been pretty bad in recent years) but anything above 100kg is fuckhuge, in France. Either you're built like a Space Marine, or you're some sort of fatass, pretty much.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

A 2 meter fellow with a modicum of muscle is going to be 100kg no problem.

Oh obgyn

It’s just struck me, I rarely see hyper-obese people anymore in my area of the US. Obese, definitely. Morbidly obese? Absolutely. Indigent due to weight? Haven’t seen them in a while.

I just wish the government weren’t on fire so that I could see whether that is the result of a trend or just random chance

People don’t have to leave their homes anymore. Everything can be delivered or done online. Even some medical visits can be done online.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 18 points 2 days ago

Maybe they got so fat that they can't leave their house anymore. The pandemic must have been pretty bad for these types ...

You can thank doordash for making mobility optional.

They are stuck at home
