Is it a warning that you give people? Like β€œthere’s an iceberg, right ahead”

TSA: "It is your responsibility to use this information." (smirk)

This body shape just does not really exist over here in Europe. No idea what you would have to eat to get there.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

It's not diet alone. There are environmental and lifestyle factors as well.

Chemicals that have been outlawed in the EU because they mess with our endocrine systems are still heavily used in the US. Businesses have better representation in Congress than citizens do, so commercial production has far fewer environmental and health regulations in the US.

Walkable cities/towns are rare in the US. Zoning laws in many places put residential properties far away from things like grocery stores and workplaces. The norm for most people is driving (or maybe public transportation if you live in a city that's big enough to support it).

Hahaha this is false. I am from the EU, live in the EU, and have travelled all over the EU, and I can categorically and confidently say that there are people this obese in Europe. I have no idea how common this is in the USA, and it probably is way more common than in Europe, but it does happen here too.

The first one is so fat that they can shoot around his bullet proof west. The west is like a little bullseye on an elephant

oh my -giggle-

[–] forestbeasts@pawb.social 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

A) Fuck ICE.

B) Let's mock them for being evil, not for being fat. There's actual reasons to hate them, going "oh haha look how fat they are" just hurts regular fat people.

Given the identity ICE agents have of themselves, as a muscular brute standing between civilized Americans and barbaric outsiders, fat-shaming them is reasonable. Also, they don't deserve to be treated as human beings. Even murderers deserve better than ICE agents.

To be fair, regular fat people should be shamed as well. There is an obesity epidemic, and we need to stop accepting it as normal. I'm no telephone pole of a human being myself, but I'd definitely be a lot heavier than I already am if no one ever called me out on my weight. Every fat person needs to be called out. It's a good motivator to be healthier.

Tbh I would feel way worse and demotivated (I'm not morbidly obese but js) but especially If they're already struggling with mental issues then they'll just feel worse about themselves if they're being shamed on top of it all... They'll feel even more anxious or depressed and want to eat to fill that void, so you're really just feeding a feedback loop (depending on the person, of course) and making it worse for them. Unless I am misunderstanding that the usage of "shamed" here means constructive criticism/advice that you are genuinely giving to them. Even then, perhaps they might already know what they need to do, but they aren't making progress and lack the motivation/executive function to do it.

You don't know what their circumstances are, just try to help them out best you can and don't make them feel like shit.

[–] Tenderizer@aussie.zone 4 points 5 hours ago

Fatshaming is almost never done out of a genuine concern for the person's health, and it's debatable how effective it is at getting people to lose weight. Especially because of how confusing the process is.

Wait, they mean the Gravy Seals? The Fattack Squad? The PlaqueToon? The Blood-clot-hounds? The Infantiletry? The Dive Bummers? The Shillitary? The Krispy Kreme Kops? The Out-of-Breathalyzers?

If I'm running from ICE, I hope it's one of these guys chasing me.

[–] chippydingo@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I think you may be forgetting the fact that they tend to just shoot people. I can't imagine shooting someone in the back is out of bounds for this fine bunch.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Nah, they can't find any guns under those bellies 🀭

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 23 hours ago

Valid, but I doubt these guys are very good shots from a distance. They like to murder their victims up close.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I'd say we need one for the kids, too. But, if those kids have guns, we should not provoke the sensitive little tykes.

Have they tried not being fat fascist fucks?

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They can be fat and they can be fucks. Just not the thing in the middle.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

But if they are that, I will insult them for all the things.

β€œFatberg” it is, then.

I'm going to do it even more

to be fair glaciers are probably a more accurate comparison

Where are the ICE agents? I just see two gigantic icebergs

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Call them whatever you want, but this isn't an actual statement from the TSA.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

oh phew this clear joke almost fooled me

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

We know, but it's a good way to spread the idea of calling the fat larpers ICEbergs.
