Randomness thread, part two.

I constantly lie about my height.

I'm actually 5 ft 4, I just hunch over to seem shorter.

[OngBonga]

Watching my ex on tv catchup winning £10k in some random quiz show, every time I look at her hands and mouth I think what she's done to me with them. Bitch is gonna spend her winnings on her upcoming wedding and honeymoon. Fair play to her though. I won a pub quiz with her once, we won some beer.

[rong]

You have problems. Have you considered therapy?

[rong]

Also, which quiz show?

[OngBonga]

I had fucked up dreams about her lol. I don't have problems, I was over her long ago... would still give her one for old time's sake though, she's still cute. Programme was Tipping Point, it's pretty bad, quiz show based on arcade penny pushers.

Is Britain still stuck in the 80's/90's in their preference of boy butts over curves?

[kiwiMark]

I always thought (or should I say was lead to believe by standup comedians) that that was a classic white/black divide rather than something that's changed with the decades

It used to be a cultural preference that tended to follow racial lines, but in the US, that's no longer the case. Women now go to the gym and do exercises specifically to make their butts bigger. Black women, white women, whatever.

I'm gonna put this back up to racial divide. Butt exercise just gives a bit more bedrock to grip on to. No one's shaping themselves a bigger butt at gym.

[wufwugy]

Sure they are, they're just not shaping it in places the muscle doesn't grow

[a500lbgorilla]

Bigger can mean several different things.

No one's going in with a boy butt and coming out with Beyonce's trunk.

And with how most people exercise, the best they're doing it putting on a little muscle and burning a little fat.

It's not really about the arse for me, I'm more of a leg man. Big arse suggests big thighs, I'm not really into big thighs.

I'm not sure if you are making two separate statements, the first being unsupported, or if you are supporting your first statement with your second.

If it's the latter, whether there is truth in my claim that women try to get bigger butts at the gym has no bearing on men's increased preference for curves across racial lines. Fifteen years ago, it was far more common for a black guy to be into big butts, and a white guy to not get it. That is just far less common nowadays. Just look at any x-rated tube. Do you remember porn from the 90's? You just didn't see stuff like that, unless it was black porn.

[rong]

I blame hip-hop and mtv.

[rong]

Which also ties in with black becoming cool.

Boost, we're talking about stereotypes. They're fundamentally unsubstantiated. You wanted to make full-booty desire a matter on which side of the Atlantic you're on and I'm saying it should stay where its been for the past 3 decades.

the ladies telling you theyre working on getting their bodies right might have more to do with you than with America. And I doubt the rigor with which you're following trends across all of porn as opposed to trends across all of the porn you surf.

You're being dense. Look back to the 80's and 90's, check out tv shows adn movies. Thin was in, and if you look at the fashion, it tended to make women's butts look smaller/flatter. Now do the same for current media, and you see that "healthier" is in, and fashion actually leans towards accentuating a woman's hips/ass.

As for the porn.. it's not me going and selecting this porn or that porn, open up the front page of a tube site.

Oh, and then we can look at the rise in prevalence of ass enhancing cosmetic surgery. It was practically unheard of ten to fifteen years ago, yet now it is in vogue. As a control, breast enhancement surgery has been going on for several decades.

[rong]

That damn liberal media, brain washing my children to admire brown people.

I know right. Taking our jobs and everything. I mean just look at a tube site. That could've been a white girl getting fucked up the ass by four guys and a black girl has taken it. We need reverse affirmative action in the porn industry.

lol boost. None of this is evidence of your claims but just the reasons you're making them.

Anecdotes about the world that was and the trends as they are do not float conclusions.

Remember Bill O'Reily saying that it's no longer a traditional America when trying to explain the recent elections? Yours are in the same category when trying to bolster up how today big butts are in.

They're as in as they ever were and not everyone's thing.

[a500lbgorilla]

Your same anecdotes go just as far to float a diff conclusion: different people are consuming media and internet porn than in the 90s.

Boom.

Or the original point I was making, that you may see the world as trending that way, but that doesn't make it so.

Oh, and then we can look at the rise in prevalence of ass enhancing cosmetic surgery. It was practically unheard of ten to fifteen years ago, yet now it is in vogue. As a control, breast enhancement surgery has been going on for several decades.

edit: I thought you said breast aug was going down and butt aug was going up.

Anyway, data for this stuff is here. http://www.surgery.org/media/statistics

Strong numbers for breast aug surgery across 2010 and 2011, increasing between the two. Butt Augs weren't in the top 5.

But again, this feeds my other comment. Different people are consuming cosmetic surgery than in the 90s.

edit merged a 3 post run.

[a500lbgorilla]

lol butt lifts are more popular than butt augs, but butt augs are very new and there are stringent guidelines for getting one. As the technology improves and price drops, more and more people will be getting them and that still won't mean a damn thing about sexual appetite trends in America.

[BennyLaRue]

I know what you guys are thinking...we need an Official Butt Thread.

[boost]

You're right, I have been overstating my claim as conclusive, but by that same token, you're overstating your claim that ass worship is on par with the levels seen in the 80's and 90's.

I don't dispute that. I was fighting fire with fire.

Do you have $1 billion dollars? I'll buy the burgers.

[Lukie]

1. it's a huge volume of food (imagine 3 stacks of 3 mcdoubles, plus one on top)

2. it's a massive amount of calories (3900), protein (230g), and sodium (8,500mg) and whatever chemicals they put in there. this would probably be the biggest meal of someone's life.

[Lukie]

Do you have $1 billion dollars? I'll buy the burgers.

I have one of the biggest appetites of anyone who I personally know and can think of right now and quite frankly, eating and keeping down 10 mcdoubles seems like quite a lot. The most I have ever eaten is 4, albeit very comfortably and not part of a bet. I may try the 10 sometime this week just on the grounds that saying one can eat a lot of food is a lot different than actually eating a lot of food.

Just out of curiosity, what number of mcdoubles would make this bet challenging? (1 hour time limit, any amount of water is allowed, cannot throw up during or after 1 hour time limit)

[Lukie]

or maybe a better way to approach it would be 10 mcdoubles in the fastest time possible...

See, this is the problem with these hypotheticals. The sum can be well into the challenging range, and even edge it's way into the ridiculous-- but if my only risk is temporary discomfort, and my reward for success is some crazy large sum of money, then I'm gonna go for it. I think 10 would be challenging, but with nothing to lose (except temporary comfort), I'm gonna go for it.

With my 1 billion dollars, I'll probably buy up every McDonalds franchise within a 5 mile radius of my residence, and shutter them all.

[Lukie]

well of course you're going to try the bet if there is an exceptional reward and no risk. what if instead, you had to bet $1,000 with 1:1 odds?

also there is a huge selection bias going on. I did pull some youtube videos after my post which makes it seem that this was a little less challenging than I had originally thought, but I can pretty much guarantee that those who try something like this are already big eaters-- and that doesn't necessarily mean fat. In fact, it seems like in competitive eating all the best participants are pretty lean but that's kind of a different topic.

[jyms]

10 is nothing, there is more bread than meat, makes it easy. I could do it, but I'm an idiot and usually eat too much of everything.

[jyms]

Actually, I'm going to do this Friday. I do 24 hour fast on FRom 9pm tonight till 9pm Thursday night so Fridays lunch should be perfect.

funny, my next heavy lifting day is Friday and I figured on doing something like a PSMF tomorrow, light snack before lift, then doing it as a pwo meal.

also just to fan the flames, from a calorie/protein/bulk perspective, 10 mcdoubles compares roughly to 20 taco bell soft tacos.

jyms I honestly don't really want to encourage this type of behavior, just on the grounds that we probably think about the same of McDonalds, but if you did want to do this you probably wouldn't have much of a problem. One you're a big dude, and two the fasting lifestyle itself is almost like natural training for competitive eating. I don't claim to be an expert on the latter but being able to eat huge amounts of food revolves largely around the ability of the stomach to contract and expand. I've read of competitive eaters virtually starving themselves then gorging on enormous amounts of food and water to train that ability. Fasting is a less extreme version of that but some of the ideas are similar.

[DoubleJ]

...this would probably be the biggest meal of someone's life.

LOL!!!

where do you live? Somalia?

[a500lbgorilla]

I honestly don't think I could do 10 McDoubles.

The last shit-eating contest I was in was Cici's pizza and I think I did 12 slices and was easily rolled over by a former wrestler.

Assuming no true prep, I'd say you couldn't do it. But if your heart was set on it and you were making plans, I don't think that'd be a wise position to hold.

[Lukie]

LOL!!!

where do you live? Somalia?

I live in the midwestern United States, and see many obese people on a daily basis.

Maybe they aren't the biggest in the world, but we are talking about eating 10 double cheeseburgers here. There are surely a lot of people out there that could do it, but most could not.

I understand that we are talking in the internet world, where benching 400 pounds, drinking 24 beers, eating 'x' amount of food etc. (separately) are all easy tasks.

Yet in the real world I notice that the same people who claim to do the above feats get buzzed off a few beers, can't bench anywhere close to 300 without a 'I'm not even helping you bro' spot, and have a hard time mopping up a burger and fries after having an appetizer. That's all I'm saying.

[Lukie]

seriously, I want you to list a meal that you have eaten that has roughly 4,000 calories and over 200 grams of protein. Maybe it's the simplicity of the number 10 but that is an enormous meal, more than any thanksgiving meal that I have ever seen (the protein being a big factor, as that macronutrient has a profound effect on satiety.)

This is my double cheeseburger:

[BooG690]

I polish off four McDoubles with no problem and I'm probably half the size (height-wise) as most posters here. I see someone like jyms being able polish off a McDouble every six minutes for an hour. He'll definitely be uncomfortable but for that amount of money, he'd be in.

I personally wouldn't be able to do it in an hour. My best chance is to do them faster so my brain doesn't realize what I'm doing to myself.

[Lukie]

Size isn't the be all and end all of eating. e.g. Kobayashi is listed at 5'8 128 lb (!) and ate over 60 hot dogs in one of his competitions. Joey Chestnut is a little bigger but still looks like a regular dude. I do think in general society, bigger guys tend to and do eat more, both on a regular basis and if put to a challenge like this. That is pretty obvious, but just don't take it too far. I know of one guy for example who is very obese yet can eat very very little (being so fat due to lack of activity, heavy drinking, and perhaps some type of metabolic disorder.)

Beyond that I can't really think of anything else except that I probably won't have anything more meaningful to add unless I try it myself.

Ya this said, I haven't actually had Mcdonalds in about 5+ years. My kid has a double cheeseburger combo once in a while when we head out somewhere after school if I have already had food. I can't imagine what it would do to my insides though

the "...and one small burger" cracked me up

[jackvance]

I think it mostly has to do with metabolism, stuff you can't see. My brother eats a LOT, he'll often eat more after coming home after having gone out to eat because it just isn't enough. And he isn't fat. But most striking is my sister's bf. Granted he's tall, but he's also slim as all hell, but he eats for 3 people easily. It's always a sight to behold. The only thing I can personally eat a disproportionally lot of is spaghetti or pasta in general. And the cooking of my fiancée, her mother, and a friend of mine's gf also makes me eat more than normal.
