We used to be room mates years ago. He(his dad) owned the house, but he was basically the property manager (we paid rent to him and his dad let him keep the money.) We (other room mates) didn’t really care for the guy(he didn’t really work, besides the occasional side hustle, like doordash). His brother also lived there and didn’t work or pay rent. His brother was fairly normal, albeit a gamer addict(slept during day, gamed all night, likely to maximally avoid the fruitarian). We both liked to cook, so we bonded over that. It was weird because he’d project his mental illness onto his brother and suggest his bro needs professional help. And of course this wasn’t unique to his brother. Then I would suggest something like, “you act like your brother sometimes have you ever considered professional help,” he would go full denial mode.

If he managed to have a poop that would stink then he would then water fast. He’d fast for so long eventually black tarry stool happens. Influencers teach dumdums this is proof your body is detoxing … In reality it’s basically just your stomach digesting itself, and it smells extremely foul. And it’s medically concerning… But to dumdums that’s success I guess?
