There used to be a Dutch tv show, Proefkonijnen (guinea pigs) , where two guys do all kinds of poo poo to themselves like using electric stimulation to simulate childbirth and wacky things like that. There's an episode where they actually do eat each other's flesh. It's only a tiny bit, taken from the bum, but they do go through with it. Apparently it's chewy, tastes pretty much like normal meat/beef and it's more the psychological effects that messes with them. Couldn't find a version with English subtitles, but here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpymsxLeBlc

Yeah, I immediately thought of Proefkonijnen, there was a fair bit of controversy surrounding that episode. It's apparently not illegal to eat human flesh on tv, not even when it's someone else's! I didn't really get the big deal about the backlash, it was done under medical supervision (a tiny cube of flesh was surgically removed) and completely voluntary so whatever. Hardest part was probably finding a willing doctor.

Pick posted:Whoops, it's actually illegal to eat your own flesh? I don't think it's the consumption that's illegal, it's the acquiring and preparing part that falls on the wrong side of the law. Even if you find a way of obtaining it that's not shady, I'm pretty sure the butchering process is the kind of thing that violates laws about the handling of human remains. Eating your own is probably the kind of loophole that removes the acquisition from legal issues but finding someone to actually cut parts of you off for no reason is gonna be a problem. Even if it's at your request I think doctors can still be prosecuted by the state for that kind of thing, so they're probably gonna turn you down. E: According to this random Google result I'm on the right track Some Lawyer on the Internet posted:The legal problem is not in the ingestion of human flesh, but in obtaining and preparing such meat in a way that does not violate any number of laws on the books regarding acceptable ways to handle human remains. the future is WOW has a new favorite as of 02:45 on Mar 23, 2016 |

It has stuck with me ever since I read it for the first time when I was in high school. The prisoner's reaction, the guy getting rid of his wife by pushing her in with no exit, and of course the final thing he says. "Longer than you think!" I think about how when a dad's telling their kid a story they will exaggerate to be more scary/funny and that he probably exaggerated the amount of time inside way beyond what he personally thought just to make the story better for his son. He had to tell his dad even the most extreme amount of time you could imagine, it's longer than that. That all coming together is just perfect. I'm probably not explaining it right, but it just unnerved me so completely I still think about it all the time. Good to know others like it too. I'm also a big fan of "lady fingers, just like lady fingers"

Besides the aforementioned risk of prion diseases, the physical evidence isn't unequivocal and could either be some kind of burial rite or the remains of humans killed and eaten by other animals. The idea of widespread cannibalism in the distant human past is difficult to prove either way, of course, but it's unlikely.

Well, this is my first effortpost. I been thinking about this subject in particular for weeks, and I guess is now or never (I give you apologies in advance for my short terrible and horrible writing, I’m not used to write long poo poo in a different language) Let’s introduce you to a little piece of Argentinian history that in the next few days it’s going to turn 40 years old. The so called “dirty war” (not so much a war, and “dirty” it’s a understatement) It all begun in 1973, Argentina was coming out of a dictatorship, and a new democratic process was starting, it lasted only 3 years, and it was the precursor of the worst 8 years of Argentinian history. Long story short, Peron won the elections, and Perón's first actions after taking office were tougher sentences against "sedition" and "subversion", after this the Peronist left-wing split the movement (this is important later on). Peron died less than a year later, and his wife just step up to power, advised by the most horrible people. For example: Lopez Rega (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Anticommunist_Alliance): This beautiful mother fucker was Minister of Social Welfare, and He was promoted to Comisario General, the highest rank in the Federal Police, from this position he led the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance Or best known “Triple A”, was a paramilitary force in charge of killing, executing, and torture left wing sympathizers, political opponents, including judges, police chiefs, and social activists. In total, it is suspected of having killed more than 1500 people. This was in full democracy. And it’s just a preview of the “State terrorism” that was coming. By March of 1976 the things in Argentina were pretty agitated, there was a series of left-wing guerrilla groups that opposed the economic and social measures imposed by Peron wife, The “Triple A” just worsened things between right and Left wing. On March 24th: ”Wikipedia” posted:Shortly before 01:00 am, President Martínez de Perón was detained and taken by helicopter to El Messidor residence. At 03:10, all television and radio stations were occupied. Regular transmissions were cut and replaced by a military march, after which, the first communique was aired: Well, there in bold is the “unnerving”, I dare to say horrific part of this tale. ”Wikipedia” posted:Anyone believed to be associated with activist groups, including trade-union members, students (including young students, for example in September 1976 during the Night of the Pencils, an operation directed by Ramón Camps, General and head of the Buenos Aires Provincial Police from April 1976 to December 1977[65]), people who had uncovered evidence of government corruption, and people thought to hold left-wing views (for example French nuns Léonie Duquet and Alice Domon, kidnapped by Alfredo Astiz). Ramón Camps told Clarín in 1984 that he had used torture as a method of interrogation and orchestrated 5,000 forced disappearances, and justified the appropriation of newborns from their imprisoned mothers "because subversive parents will raise subversive children".[153[ Among the brutality committed by the military during this period, there is about 3 or 4 things that really get to me. 1. This was all planned from the beginning. The abductions, kidnaps, torture, killing and vanishing of the bodies were carefully executed by the army and the government. There were concentration camps, where the detainees were questioned, tortured, raped, Blindfolded and placed in boxes about 2 meters by 0.70 meters (6’ 7’’ by 2’ 4’’) an then executed in a lot of ways, one of them I will explain later. The goal of so much torture was making the “prisoners” snitch other people, but in most cases, the prisoners were just activist without political connections with the left wing guerrilla. A lot of innocent people was abducted, and “vanished” (“desaparecida” in Spanish). 2. The regular people took it almost naturally, the government started a campaign inflicting fear in the population, with slogans like “if you see something suspicious, go to the authorities” and “silence its health”. People rationalized everything that happened, if they saw someone being arrested a common phrase was “they must have done something”. 3. Often the people were kidnapped with his family, husband and wife, sometimes the children were taken and later returned to their grandparents. But if the abducted had a baby or if they kidnaped a pregnant woman, they would take the baby away and give them to military families or friends of the abductors. To be raised in a “catholic Argentinian” family they trust. Let’s speak about the “average” abduction by the forces of the government: Imagine you were hanging out in your house, you came home from work tired, the economy is seriously hosed, but you are trying your best. Your pregnant wife give you the classic “we can get over this” talk. Then, you hear a couple of loud tire screeches, and someone start banging loudly the door. You get up to answer, but the door gets kicked in, and a swarm of military men holding rifles gets in (boots, green cargo pants and the usual). You get hit in the head with the butt of a gun, and fall to the floor. Your wife screams, they hit her too, and start ransacking and “searching” for incriminatory poo poo in your house. You try to get up but they kick you in the face and start beating you. From the floor you see how they put a canvas bag over your wife head and handcuff her hands behind her back. They are about to do the same to you. You hear the voices of the military talking about how they are going to split between them your belongings, but that doesn’t matter to you, you want to get your wife out of this situation. They get you up, and throw you to the street. Before putting in your head the classic black canvas bag (known around here as “capucha”) you caught a glimpse of two green ford falcon, without plates. Finally the darkness surrounds you, and get thrown into the car trunk with your crying wife. You can’t see a thing, but can guess which direction you are heading by the noises and bumps in the road. Let’s say you and your wife end up in the “ESMA” (one of many, many, clandestine detention centers, another way to say concentration camp that was the “Navy Petty-Officers School of Mechanics”, a school for officials.) It’s situated in one of the wealthiest parts of Buenos Aires, around this horrific place there is a school, a high school, and a train station among other things. The car stop, the trunk is opened, and they get you out and make you walk punching and kicking. Your wife gets the same treatment, but they take her in other direction. Here the tale breaks in two. First the husband: They keep hitting you until they throw you into a sound proofed cell, they get you naked, and tie you to a metal fence. So the questioning begins. Do you know anybody in the left-wing movement? Are you affiliated to a socialist or communist movement?, and poo poo like that. When you don’t answer what they want to hear, they use a live wire to probe your body and test your reactions to 220 volts. When you pass out, they throw you in a cellar that’s divided in 2m x 0.7m boxes with your hands tied and your head covered. You can hear people around you, those are others “detainees” in the same conditions, you talk to them, tell them your name, your history, about your wife and future baby. He tells you that the military has a clandestine maternity, where the abductees have their babies. The cycle of torture – passing out – waking up in a box – talking with your cellmates – torture. After a while, your cellmate has gone, you guess they might have let him free, because that is wat they promise you if you snitch someone. One night (but you don’t know it’s nighttime) they get you up, and you feel a sting in your neck, seconds later you feel drowsy, and fall sleep standing. A couple of soldiers drag you to a truck, they load your unconscious body to the truck bed (almost full of people) and start driving somewhere. A land strip in an airport nearby, hey get you into a plane, tie your hands and feet, you are semi-conscious now, but you don’t get what’s happening, or what’s about to happen. The plane gets off, rises and flies over the “rio de la plata” waters, and then a soldier open the hatch and start throwing out every drugged and defenseless body to the emptiness below. To the river. You die drowned, or consequence of the fall, it doesn’t matter. Your body washes ashore the next day, and get buried under “john doe” name. [hint - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_flights ] The fate of your wife is different, she gets tortured altogether, tied and confined into a room with several other pregnant women, but her life is not so hard, she has another detainee as a companion, to help her during the pregnancy. When de baby is born, the military tell her that they are going to take the baby to the grandparents. After that the mother can be discarded, they drive a bunch of detainees to an empty field, and execute them. The baby is awarded to a military family, or another friend family, the birth certificate, adoption certificate, everything is forged. That’s the end of an average “disappearance”. You would ask, what did the family of the victims did while his/her son/daughter was abducted? Well, they searched, they went to police stations, hospitals, even to army bases, asking about their sons/daughters/grandsons. And they would get no answers. Nobody knew nothing, or say nothing. Mothers met each other while trying to find their missing sons and daughters, every day there were more, and with no official answers, they started meetings in front of the presidential palace, trying to denounce the kidnapping to the people, to the international press. They started a group, [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothers_of_the_Plaza_de_Mayo[/url]Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo (Spanish: Asociación Madres de Plaza de Mayo). Who could be scared by a group of old ladies with handkerchiefs over their heads?  ”Wikipedia” posted:Just a year after the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo was created, hundreds of women were participating, gathering in the Plaza for weekly demonstrations. They found strength in each other by marching in public, and even attracted some press. They made signs with photos of their children and publicized their children's names. The government tried to marginalize and trivialize their work by calling them "las locas" (the madwomen).[3] Killing a couple of the original members may be the way to scare them to leave the topic, right? NO They kept fighting, for the memories of their children, for the memory of all the people kidnapped and killed. They grew, A new group formed, “Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo”, a number of mothers that tries to locate children kidnapped during the repression, some of them born to mothers in prison who were later "disappeared" They investigated, and found their own grandchildren, and restore their true identities (the names chosen by their true families, and not the adopting one.) Let me tell you a little history of the now president of the group: Estela de Carlotto Wikipedia posted:Enriqueta Estela Barnes was born in Buenos Aires in 1930, into a family ofEnglish origin.[1] Her family relocated to La Plata in 1940, and by 1950, she had become a primary school teacher. She taught in Brandsen, and later in La Plata, where she eventually became a school principal. She married Guido Carlotto, a paint store owner, and they had four children. A school principal, nothing out of the ordinary, but wait… ”Wikipedia” posted:Guido Carlotto was then kidnapped on August 5, and was released on August 25 only after payment of 40 million pesos (US$ 90,000), and after being severely tortured.[3] Nice people the military! They gave her the body of their daughter, but not the baby, and then…  ”Wikipedia” posted:Retired from her post as principal since August 30, 1978, Mrs. Carlotto became a member of the Abuelas Argentinas con Nietitos Desaparecidos (Argentine Grandmothers with Missing Grandchildren) by April 1979. She then began to seek and demand the release of her grandson and other children kidnapped or disappeared by military forces during the military dictatorship. The group, founded by Alicia de la Cuadra and 11 other grandmothers in a similar situation in 1977, was renamed the Association of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo in 1980. Mrs. Carlotto became its Vice President, and in 1989 its President. So, to be clear, they are not there for a revenge, they are searching for their stolen grandsons, they still are looking for them! quote:An estimated 500 children were either kidnapped or seized at birth from women in detention during the Dirty War. The vast majority were given or sold to adoptive parents, including numerous perpetrators and accomplices in the murder of their biological parents.[2][4] The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo located the first missing grandchild in 1984. They secured the establishment of the National Genetic Data Bank for Relatives of Disappeared Children in 1987,[4]and the National Commission for the Right of Identity, an office tasked with facilitating answers to those who doubt the nature of their adoptions, in 1992.[5]Mrs. Carlotto announced the discovery of the 100th grandchild on December 21, 2009 And to finish this with something good… quote:Mrs. Carlotto announced on August 5, 2014, that her long-lost grandson had been discovered after he voluntarily came forward for a DNA test.[10] Her grandson, named Ignacio Hurban, leads a jazz orchestra and directs the Rossi Brothers School of Music in Olavarría; he thus became the 114th grandchild to have his true identity discovered by the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo.[11] Shortly after his public appearance, Hurban changed his name to Ignacio Guido Montoya Carlotto.
