2. 0:06hey kids I think we can all agree that
3. 0:09there are a few pastimes more grotesque
4. 0:11than competitive-eating the concept of a
5. 0:13bunch of guys pushing their Anatomy to
6. 0:15its limits just for sport leaves a bad
7. 0:17taste in my mouth in more ways than one
8. 0:19but imagine if these men didn't adopt
9. 0:21this habit just for fun imagine if some
10. 0:23gross biological error forced them to
11. 0:25eat like this for their entire life
12. 0:27introducing tari tari was born in France
13. 0:31around 1772 to a poor farming family it
14. 0:34said that his appetite was so voracious
15. 0:36that by his teens
16. 0:38Tarara could eat an entire quarter of a
17. 0:40cow carcass in a single day you think
18. 0:42he'd be like mega obese but no he only
19. 0:44weighed a hundred pounds by age 17
20. 0:46however there was still a few things
21. 0:48that stood out about Tarara
22. 0:49appearance-wise for one he had a huge
23. 0:52stretched out mouth with horribly
24. 0:53stained teeth he could reportedly fit 12
25. 0:56eggs in his cheeks at once much like a
26. 0:58chipmunk keeping its chipmunk eggs warm
27. 0:59additionally when terraria was full he'd
28. 1:02get a crazy Octomom gut going and any
29. 1:04other time he'd have a huge flap of
30. 1:06stretched out skin hanging around his
31. 1:07waist he also stank to high hell even by
32. 1:1018th century French peasant standards he
33. 1:12was described as reeking quote to such a
34. 1:14degree that he could not be endured
35. 1:16within the distance of 20 paces so
36. 1:18between all this and is horrendous
37. 1:20outhouse flooding dumps his family had
38. 1:22had enough all right you're eating us
39. 1:23out of house and home here you gotta go
40. 1:25man
41. 1:26you heard me cake bricks froggy wow he
42. 1:29just called a French person a frog
43. 1:30that's so racist no it's not they're all
44. 1:32French the guy just looks like a frog is
45. 1:34all well well too late I'm already
46. 1:36offended that's fair
47. 1:38dislike after leaving home terraria was
48. 1:40forced to beg and steal just to satisfy
49. 1:42his gargantuan appetite inevitably
50. 1:44people began to take notice of him and
51. 1:46eventually he landed a job as a street
52. 1:47performer in Paris people would hand
53. 1:49Terraria entire baskets of apples eggs
54. 1:51and even wine corks and watch in delight
55. 1:54as he horked him down without the
56. 1:55slightest hesitation normally this went
57. 1:57off without a hitch except for one time
58. 1:59when he suffered a severe intestinal
59. 2:00blockage
60. 2:01fortunately the crowd was kind enough to
61. 2:03carry him to the hospital where he was
62. 2:05treated with the strongest laxatives the
63. 2:0618th century had to offer I would draw
64. 2:08what happened next but it would probably
65. 2:10get my channel deleted so let's just
66. 2:12picture it for a few moments
67. 2:17moving on cut to the Year 1795 the War
68. 2:22of the first coalition ever heard of it
69. 2:24me neither who was in it [ __ ]
70. 2:25everyone anyway terraria decided to
71. 2:27enlist in the war after all maybe that
72. 2:29profound emptiness he was feeling was
73. 2:30just a lack of purpose in life
74. 2:32turns out no he really was just
75. 2:34psychotically hungry even after being
76. 2:36granted quadruple rations terraria would
77. 2:38still be digging through the trash pile
78. 2:39whenever he got the chance after
79. 2:41suffering extreme exhaustion he was sent
80. 2:43off to the military hospital in Utah the
81. 2:45staff they were so dumbfounded by the
82. 2:47man's abilities that they decided to
83. 2:49keep him there to run a few experiments
84. 2:50the first of which involve putting two
85. 2:52Rory in a room with a meal prepared for
86. 2:5415 people naturally he ate the entire
87. 2:56thing and immediately fell asleep next
88. 2:58they presented him with a raw eel in
89. 3:00response
90. 3:01Tarara crushed the eels skull between
91. 3:02his teeth before slurping down the
92. 3:04entire creature in one go
93. 3:06now this is hair crunching Lee
94. 3:08horrifying for a couple of reasons
95. 3:10firstly he put a whole freakin eel in
96. 3:12his stomach but secondly there had to be
97. 3:14some point during digestion where the
98. 3:16meat was gone but the bone still
99. 3:17remained now for those of you who don't
100. 3:19know an eel skeleton looks like this
101. 3:21that means Terraria had all of those
102. 3:23needle sized ribs stabbing into the
103. 3:25walls of a stomach at once and he was
104. 3:27fine he also ripped a live cat apart
105. 3:29with his bare hands drank its blood and
106. 3:31ate everything but its bones and then
107. 3:32later gagged up the fur and skin like an
108. 3:34owl but you know that's neither here nor
109. 3:36there after reviewing our data I've come
110. 3:38to the scientific conclusion that uh
111. 3:40yeah we got a goddamn demon on our hands
112. 3:43but as we all know with great devourer
113. 3:45comes great responsibility
114. 3:46since terraria was still technically
115. 3:48enlisted the military decided to utilize
116. 3:50his abilities for the greater good hates
117. 3:52our RA it's me the general listen could
118. 3:55you eat this box with a note in it for
119. 3:56me if you do it will give you a
120. 3:59wheelbarrow full of bull organs oh lo
121. 4:02and behold two days later he passed the
122. 4:04container in mint condition and was
123. 4:05given his reward as promised with this
124. 4:07proof-of-concept they made him an
125. 4:09official spy and sent him into Prussia
126. 4:11with a document in his belly to be
127. 4:12delivered to an imprisoned French
128. 4:14colonel unfortunately there are a couple
129. 4:16things Tariq couldn't do that are
130. 4:18generally important when sneaking into
131. 4:19another country hey he couldn't speak
132. 4:21German and be it's pretty hard to
133. 4:23maintain a low profile when you're
134. 4:25running around like a madman
135. 4:26wolfing down garbage and mutilating
136. 4:28small animals so he ended up being
137. 4:30captured by the enemy
138. 4:31initially he kept his mouth shut for
139. 4:32once but after a whipping in a day in
140. 4:34jail Tarara gave in after confessing
141. 4:36that he did in fact have vital
142. 4:38intelligence snaking its way through his
143. 4:40GI tract the Prussians chained him to a
144. 4:42latrine until lebackes emerged 30 hours
145. 4:44later the note wasn't actually anything
146. 4:46important so they just mock executed him
147. 4:48give him a severe beating and sent him
148. 4:49on his way
149. 4:50after all that terraria returned to life
150. 4:52at the hospital desperate for a cure for
151. 4:54his condition but nothing they ever
152. 4:55tried worked meanwhile the man's endless
153. 4:57hunger continued to get him into all
154. 4:59sorts of trouble he'd often sneaked out
155. 5:01of the hospital to eat the scraps behind
156. 5:02the local butcher and fight stray dogs
157. 5:04in the alley for their precious garbage
158. 5:06he'd also seek out patients undergoing
159. 5:08bloodletting in order to take all their
160. 5:10life juice for himself on several
161. 5:12occasions he was even caught attempting
162. 5:14to eat bodies in the mortuary by this
163. 5:16point my research I was so desensitized
164. 5:18to this guy that I didn't even bat an
165. 5:19eye when I first read that I was just
166. 5:21like all right I guess he must have been
167. 5:23hungry anyway the hospital staff
168. 5:24begrudging Lee tolerated Tiwari's
169. 5:26buffoonery until one day when he went
170. 5:28too far welter RA you've only had three
171. 5:31mess-hall raids for miscellaneous trash
172. 5:33related mishaps and one cadaver defiling
173. 5:36so I'd say so far this week's been
174. 5:38pretty good doctor
175. 5:40we should probably inform you that a 14
176. 5:42month old child has gone missing from
177. 5:44their room
178. 5:47Tarara look at me
179. 5:49did you eat a [ __ ] baby
180. 5:54kirari was promptly kicked out of the
181. 5:57hospital and spent four years out and
182. 5:59about doing you know whatever horrific
183. 6:00[ __ ] you can imagine when he came back
184. 6:02he was suffering from advanced
185. 6:03tuberculosis and died shortly after
186. 6:05arrival during his autopsy the surgeons
187. 6:07found that when they looked into his
188. 6:09mouth they could see all the way down
189. 6:11his throat and into his stomach cavity
190. 6:12as you can imagine his whole abdominal
191. 6:14region was profoundly deformed basically
192. 6:17if this is a normal human this is what
193. 6:18they found inside to our RA just like
194. 6:20the man's mind we can see that around
195. 6:2290% is devoted towards food and 10%
196. 6:24towards everything else so moral of the
197. 6:27story here is that now you know what not
198. 6:29even I can find anything resembling a
199. 6:31moral here not all stories have a point
200. 6:33to them sometimes they're just sad and
201. 6:34disgusting from beginning to end and now
202. 6:38a word from our sponsor as you can
203. 6:39probably tell I'm a very visual person
204. 6:41when it comes to learning I firmly
205. 6:43believe that engaging visuals are an
206. 6:45essential teaching tool that allows for
207. 6:47much deeper comprehension than plain old
208. 6:48walls of text that's why I'm pleased to
209. 6:50introduce our sponsor brilliant org we
210. 6:53all know that math and science are
211. 6:54really important to master and
212. 6:55brilliance elegant UI and step-by-step
213. 6:57design makes the learning seemingly
214. 6:59complex topics very intuitive especially
215. 7:02for visual learners they're
216. 7:03straightforward graphics delightful
217. 7:05animations and interactive puzzles make
218. 7:07it easy and fun to hone your own
219. 7:08critical thinking skills personally I've
220. 7:10always been super intrigued by neural
221. 7:12networks and all the things you can do
222. 7:13with them but I've always been too
223. 7:15intimidated to research them in depth
224. 7:17after learning about brilliance I
225. 7:18actually started taking their course in
226. 7:20the subject and I got to say it's been
227. 7:21such a pleasurable experience that I
228. 7:23plan to continue with it in my own spare
229. 7:25time to support me and learn more about
