There are few things in this world I enjoy more than a really good meme page. I love a good troll, too. Hell, one of the defining traits of my sense of humor is folks never knowing whether I’m serious or not. I have said some really dumb shit with a straight face, sometimes in professional environments, and I have -never- told folks I am kidding. There are people walking this Earth today who probably think some really weird things about me because I was laughing internally so hard that I couldn’t bring myself to tell them I was kidding. That sense of humor is why I have a grand appreciation for this guy who is eating raw meat at Whole Foods every day until the bacteria kills him. He’s titled this game the Raw Meat Experiment and he is legit posting content every day.
I take a lot of pride in playing the meme game – my life is a meme, and I like to think that I can sniff out when we’re being serious and when we’re just being silly geeses. But, I can’t pin this thing down. On one hand, it is a gross and shocking bit, which means it’s bound to be hugely successful. In this day and age, there’s a reason people do stuff like this – because they’re rewarded with likes and clicks. Plus, he does a good job of mixing in memes about eating raw meat at Whole Foods every now and then. So, one could reasonably assume that it’s a bit, right? Well, on the other hand, if you dig a little bit deeper, you’ll find him doing stuff like podcasts talking about his diet and how his health has improved since he started doing this! This guy is drinking raw milk. He’s eating raw eggs. He was plant-based for 10 years. It starts to sound like less of a comedy routine, and more of a lifestyle change that he realized he could turn into an internet gimmick. I can’t figure it out!
And, honestly, I don’t know that I ever will. I can’t watch too many of these videos before the contents of my stomach start trying to make their way up my throat. I’ll be even more honest and say that I’m starting to gag just typing that. We’ve reached the point where we’re talking about this too much.
On a side tangent, I always love the “well this is how the cavemen ate” arguments because I believe the cavemen lived to be 18 years old. I could be wrong, but that’s what I think anyway. So, it’s like…even with all of the advances in science and medicine in the year 2022, there are still people that think it’s ideal to have the life expectancy reduced by 80%. I love it. I’m not saying this guy said that – I’ve just seen it in a few of the comments sections.
Personally, I enjoy cooked meat. I’ve never really stopped to think about the health benefits of cooking my meat (is there a ‘that’s what she said’ joke in there somewhere?). Like many aspects of my life….I don’t do it with my overall health in mind. I don’t do it because it yucky.
So, did we get any closer to solving this mystery? Fuck no! But, that’s not what I wanted to do here today….I wanted to ask the question and get this conversation going. Is this shit legitimate? Is this the byproduct of dudes listening to Joe Rogan for all of their new information? Or, is this man committed to the bit? One master troll to rule all other trolls? I have no idea. The mystery and intrigue surrounding this man is deafening. Regardless, I will keep paying attention until the bacteria overtakes his body.
