Fasting

[Speaker to Animals]

Just about to start a 40-hour fast. Finishing up the last meal right now.




My prediction is that tomorrow night will be difficult to get to sleep, but that's about it. I guess we'll see..

If this is not too bad, I might try to do something like a 3-day fast each month, almost doubling the time.

If you wanted to convert to Islam during Ramadan, you should have just been honest about it. I am a very open minded person, and Hastur and Bjorn's governments will gladly roll out the welfare and crusades reparations for you. All I'm asking is you just be real with us.

[Speaker to Animals]

I can has reparations?

I wonder what would happen if I stretch it out for like seven days. I'll probably be too hungry on Saturday and say fuck no to that idea, though.

I think you should just be a man about it, and go for a month.

I imagine there has to be some point of diminishing returns

Just wrap yourself in a mud cocoon beneath a dried riverbed and go without eating for a year or two.

Basically when you run out of fat. That's when you start losing muscles and even organ tissue. But that's not fasting. That's starvation. Fasting ends and starvation begins when you no longer possess fat to burn for energy.

Though more than about 40 days and I bet you start having nutritional issues due to our diets not providing us with all the vitamins and minerals we need.

You are like little baby. I fast paycheck to paycheck. Beer is like bread to me.
