Absolute Units

Things that you’re in awe at the size of.

Absolute Unit: an Animal, Public Figure or Object who is larger than one would normally expect.

Rules

Absolute units, not normal units. More detailed definitions here

No creepshots / fat shaming pics allowed. Mainly the subjects are animals, but big foods and objects, like statues, are also allowed. If you are submitting humans, only public figures are allowed, and not only to showcase that they are fat, they must be also large in stature; no harassment or creepshots; fat-shaming is strictly prohibited.

while mild NSFW stuff is allowed (as long as its put in it's own tag when posting), anything more than that (and borderline NSFL) is straight up banned. This includes stuff that is sexual in nature, gory, anything not very palpable for the eyes.

Don't forget to follow the rules in your server

It's impressive that he's capable of standing. I often wonder how ripped the legs of someone this obese would be if they instantly dropped all of their fat and loose skin.

They have huge calves I can tell you that!

[–] essell@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I reckon he has about two huge calves per day

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Lot of the obese people i know in their 30s have powder knees.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

i had watched the 1000lb sister, and tammys knees were destroyed from the weight being over 600lbs.

Who is the OG absolute unit? Is he a royal bodyguard or something? I don't know the backstory.

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

That is David Morgan-Hewitt. He was a friend of the queen and manages a fancy hotel, I can't remember which one. My wife has actually met him and reported he's even more enormous irl.

He's actually a quadriplegic with an atrophic body ... the bulk of his body is an elaborate machine that helps him to move around.

Obviously on a day trip from the technodrome.

Fucking craig

I mean… the second half is a description of anyone, that’s what all our bodies are.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Speak for yourself, I wouldn't call my body elaborate

We're all electrified blobs of fat piloting a bone mecha propelled by flesh.
