ULPT: if you let your kids play unlimited video games, you don't have to feed them as often.

Refill Cheetos and Mountain Dew with offbrand versions.

No lie, I know people who quit smoking, drinking, and getting high to stay on WOW more in its heyday.
LostAllEnergy@reddit
And showers. Don't forget those.

In its heyday? I’m currently about to begin the most insane crash diet of all time when fresh servers drop tomorrow.

And when popularity fell, their guilds fell apart, and nobody on their friends list has been on in 3 years……
Crack cocaine.
Worth it.

And if you let them play with a toaster in the bath, you'll never have to feed them again.

Mommmmm, more pizza pockets!

Yes, but you’re gonna have to pay a fortune in either therapy or legal expenses in the future

If they're overweight, you could say they have to win a BR to eat. They will either get skinny or get sweaty.
Keypop24@reddit
True. Works also if you're fat. Just play games all day. You will forget to eat or not eat as often. I was 150lb back in 2020 lock down. A whole year straight of League of legends and I went to down to 120. I'm 5'4.

Very true, my friends let their child game nonstop in the summer and the kid won’t even pause to drink water.

What is she doing back there?
jmmenes@reddit
How did you get her?…
Chaz: Yeah, I just rode my bike to the cemetery…
Funerals are insane man.

I literally thought of that episode when I read the title. More video games=more junk food.
Quenz@reddit
Video games were the opposite for me. I didn't snack because I was too busy playing and didn't want to dirty my controllers. Still do, but I watch more shows, therefore, more freedom to snack.
DookieShoez@reddit
Which is why Cartman was taking laxatives, so the calories don’t have time to absorb. That’s why he was so ripped and sweet in that episode.
BEEFCAKE, BEEFCAKE!!!

We used to have gaming convention ‘diets’ growing up where folks would pound multiple cans of bawls (high caffeine energy drinks) and eat hardly anything most of the day. Was a wild time..
HoxhasDeadbeatDad@reddit
If you believe Video Game Athletes, playing video games is just as intense and active as regular sports activities.

They will eat more junk food. Video games do make a good baby sitter while you go to the bar though.

Finally I found a way to combine my two favorite subs
JimC29@reddit
They can be interchangeable at times. This is a good example.
greent714@reddit
Why would they eat more junk? Lol OP means since they aren’t outside burning calories, they don’t need as much food.
chr0n1c843@reddit
don't small people die if you neglect to feed them?
addictfreesince93@reddit
Get em perscribed some Adderall too! Theyll go for days before they even think about food. Im 33 and have to set alarms to remind myself to eat at least twice a day because of my meds lol.
Glyphid@reddit
But you do need to feed them for twice as long! Like burning candles.
Unh01y-Tr01ler@reddit
Swap the bites for bytes.. Make them eat digitally, I get it. It's the thought that counts anyways, right? Maybe we are in a simulation after all.. 🤔 I like your style.
PolyMedical@reddit
Happened to me. Can confirm. Some other side effects, sure, but my folks didn’t have to do much parenting work.
CrowRoutine9631@reddit
This is so terrible, and so true!
PekingSandstorm@reddit
Even less often if you lock the door from the outside, yea?
SneeKeeFahk@reddit
That's not how nutrition works.
PigmyPanther@reddit
Ah, but it is... child wont need go replace calories theyre not burning.
imo, this was more about how the hunger sensations are surpressed when playing video games. folks will often forget or delay things like bio breaks, eating, etc.
