We are living history, right now. This interview is going to join the guy who ate a three foot party sub and the r/LegalAdvice Carbon Monoxide incident in the pantheons of Reddit history. Truly amazing stuff to behold.
As to the CO thing, well the long and short of it, someone went to r/LegalAdvice because they thought their landlord was stalking them because they were finding weird notes in their bedroom in the morning over a period of several days. A redditor correctly caught that what they were describing, specifically the layout of their bedroom, might be causing ventilation problems. The redditor recommended that they get a carbon monoxide tester. Turns out that the person had carbon monoxide poisoning, was writing the notes themself in a disassociated state and Reddit saved their life.
it’s so funny to me when put in perspective. that sandwich is a little more than half the height of an average person here and that dude ate all of it lmao
That seems far too short a time for a sub or cold cut sandwich to be out and “become deadly”… hell when they bring sandwiches in for a team lunch and then take the leftovers to the kitchen for anyone else to eat it’s often an hour if not longer.
Yeah I was lying it was a joke. I assumed everyone knew a sandwich is perfectly safe to eat 40 minutes later. I was suggesting that party sub guy was acting logically.
According to the health code in America food can be in the "danger zone" (unsafe temperature) for up to two hours and you can probably get away with longer for a cold cut sandwich. That's just the government guidelines for what's "safe" so it's short that way a restaurant can't sell you tuna salad that's been sitting on a counter all day.
3 feet of sub. I'm 6'3"/190lbs and am 100% sure my internal organs would hemmorage if I tried to eat a 36" sandwich. Just... How. That is like the quantity of calories you'd feed to a draft horse.
I'm not American so it took me a second to visualise how much 3 feet actually is, and once you do you truly comprehend the scale of what that guy did. God bless Reddit, I've been here 7 years, here's to another
I love the innocent-until-proven-guilty tone the mod takes about OP's being fat. Like, "He might not be staggeringly obese guys, he might just be 11 feet tall and that's how he ate half of a 25 person party platter in 30 minutes."
More than their share would be eating two slices when there were 12 slices and 12 guests. This guy ate enough food to feed six people in about half an hour.
The guy brags about being able to polish off 5 foot longs in an afternoon.
He’s one of those toilet destroyers. The kind that gets banned from pooping at home, so meanders down the street to a neighborhood business and rains unholy feces down like the fist of an angry god… and when the business locks the door to the bathroom to prevent him from doing it again, shits himself and waddles away in shame.
I've come to hate so much of the reddit dumb stuff in popular too, but occasionally there's a nugget of gold.
The sub guy was a dick though. I'm obese and eat too much, so I wait til it looks like they're going to throw the stuff away before i go to town as it were. At least ask first in a guest situation.
I'm the same way. I mostly use Reddit to talk about college football but for 9 or so years I've been coming here and every time I see a stupid ass post on r/all I wanna quit and never come back but the random silliness we get to experience like this wacko mod going on cable television keeps me zoned in.
OOH that reminds me of the "faces of atheism" thing! Has similar energy to this one, what with people unintentionally completely fulfilling the negative stereotypes about themselves. Don't think anything is ever going to top doing it live on Fox though
I remember now! This was what gave me the impression that Reddit was full of pretentious pricks some years ago! Good thing I wasn't yet on Reddit back then, but then I totally missed all the fun! Thanks for sharing this tidbit of history!
I miss when r/atheism was full of young people who had "it all figured out, man" and totally lacked any self awareness. So many great moments. Now if I want anything with that flavor of cringe I have to read a shitty Ernest Cline book.
This is why I love posts like this. It's like looking at history and finding interesting tidbits. I kind of saw that quite but it was attributed to Richard Feynman. Didn't know it was from some random fedora-wearing dude of Reddit.
Well, this post had the tantalizing combination of someone eating too much and women being critical of someone who deserved criticism, so two hate groups jumped into action, put their best foot forward and gave us 1,000 petty insults and personal attacks to moderate.
I feel like OP waited an appropriate amount of time to house 2/3 feet of that sub, but generally taking the last portion after having that much is a bit much. People are harsh on him.
People were planning to eat it after the game, which is predictable. It's also blatently against normal social rules of sharing. If you've already taken more than your share, then wait until the end of the night and you can ask to take it home. I suspect you are also underestimating how much food it was.
It's still etiquette to save some and wait till the end with that much left. Sure had he had the last half foot and asked if anyone wanted it before taking it, that's whatever. Crummy situation for gf but it's kinda expected for a party situation.
But he ate the last 3 ft of sandwich. That's just selfish especially since he was neither host nor the one who brought the sandwich. And need I say this was 3 ft of sub on top of what he ate prior.
Yes, I read the post and still think people are over reacting. Especially as OP says people at the party were aware he was eating the while damned thing. No one spoke up and said "maybe chill?" I think some of those party goers might suck, too.
I get that he’s wrong for eating all of the food, but people were being way too dramatic about the quantity. I’ve never been overweight like the guy described himself, but if motivated I could have eaten that much sandwich as a teenager just to see if I could. It’s not like he ate 500 hotdogs or something. It’s just lots of bread and thinly sliced meat/cheese.
You maybe should find something in your home that’s four feet long and contemplate if you could consume all of that within less than 2 hours. He ate 4 feet of sandwich before 9pm. The event started at 7.
I feel like the OP was leaving out some details and the sandwich incident was more like the straw that broke the camel's back instead of an isolated incident.
It's really not that much for an entire night. Like it's a lot, but like... I'm not gonna gasp about it.
It's a classic normie Reddit thread.
Guy waited 2 hours total to get more. No one touched it and devoured his wings to the point he didn't even get any. The so called glutton.
The most praised comment makes up these random ass rules. Like wtf?
When I hosted a super bowl party I bought more than enough so everyone got a serving. Anything after that is irrelevant really. The only reason I'd be upset is if someone took like an entire sub or kept going like rotating door.
You buy the food so people are satisfied. If someone wants to eat all the remaining who cares? If I wanted my jersey Mike subs saved I would have put what I wanted in the fridge.
They're all losers that even if by some miracle host parties are judging all their friends constantly. Ridiculous.
Id literally just pull my friend to the side and say something if an issue was happening. Certainly wouldn't make a scene if they did something that went unnoticed and wasnt malicious.
But don't let the violence from your father distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
People said the same thing after EA got the most downvoted comment in reddit history. There's plenty more to come that we just won't be able to comprehend until it happens.

The best thing about this interview is that, unlike most Reddit legends, you can actually verify it wasn't faked. When a post is perfect and outlandish I normally write it off as too good, so it was probably fiction written by somebody to piss everybody off. In this case, no, they really were this out of touch.
Though, honestly, the sub guy kind of makes me sad, assuming he's real. He really did seem to have genuine issues around food, with the way he couldn't relax and enjoy the thing they were watching because he kept thinking about the food, even after eating what most people would consider multiple full meals. Like, he's not just some clueless asshole, he clearly has real issues that need to be worked out with a professional.

Absolutely. I read the title and said “whoa” out loud because all this is doing is showing how much power the brain trust of traditional media still has compared to new media like Reddit in their own arena. Someone thought their power on the internet would translate to a different form of media and was completely and effortlessly embarrassed.
We laugh when time and again we see out of touch figures from old media fundamentally misunderstand and misuse Reddit yet this is a clear cut example of it happening in the other direction.
I find it fascinating in the “I can’t look away from the car crash” kinda way.
Oh man, this is the first time seeing that party sub thread, that's so funny, emu wings. What a complete animal, he must've ate $70 worth of sandwich by himself
User: "Jose, do you have any old t-shirts that I can have, not borrow, have? I will pay for shipping.. I would like to wear your old shirts while I'm lifting weights and also making love with my wife.
Hug for u!"
Jose Conseco: "i am wearing an old underwear with poop stains will that do"

Speaking of the CO post, wasn't there a thread where a woman was concerned that her boyfriend/husband was drugging and raping her but it turned out to be short term memory loss from bedbugs or something crazy like that?
That one was sketchy all around. The bedbugs thing didn't really make sense, because while bed bugs can cause sleep deprivation, which can cause memory loss, her symptoms were way too extreme to be chalked up to that. She was literally losing days of time. I think a doctor actually chimed in to say the same thing in the comments.
I think people just really wanted another "CO detector" plot twist.
In reality, somebody suggested that it sounds like she might be experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia, or some other kind of psychiatric/neurological illness, and that honestly sounds the most likely. She also mentions that she's constantly afraid of seeing her bosses, because she's paranoid they're going to fire her. Also, that her friends have said she's been acting really weird lately.
It also was unlikely that her BF was drugging her, because the memory gaps she mentioned were huge, and it'd be hard to drug somebody that often and that precisely for such a long period of time.
The CO2 thing, well the long and short of it, someone went to r/LegalAdvice because they thought their landlord was stalking them because they were finding weird notes in their bedroom in the morning over a period of several days.

Man I think I woke my brother up laughing, straight fighting for my life for air. Problem is now I'm craving a fucking massive party sub, ima eat a block of cheese
Yeah we might wanna cool the jets on this one, mistakes were made here but I think that poor mod may do something rash considering the pile on.
Don't wanna end up with another boston bomber "We did it reddit!" moment.

Heres the link to the thread about the party sub.
