You can still die, just not from hunger/thirst.
And you have to hide it, or else governments around the world are gonna lock you to a blacksite and experiment on you. (I mean, you are essentially a weird mutant / supernatual being, governments be paranoid)
Do I become unhealthy if I do eat and drink anyway? Otherwise, I’ll just eat and drink at social occasions
I enjoy eating, so they’d never notice. The only thing it could possibly be an issue is if they decided to try to torture me by starving me, and by that point I’m already fucked.
“No thanks, I’m not hungry”
“Weird, you havent eaten for days, and you seems to still have so much energy.”
a few moment later
“🚨🚔🚨 over radio IN PURSUIT OF AN EXTRATERRESTIAL LIFE FORM…”
(Sorry if I’m being silly, I kinda just envisioned a universe where people have strange abilities and a totalitarian government is paranoid and want to lock up everyone with special abilities)
I don’t know why you in particular keep asking questions and then deleting them.
Because I get bored, think of a subject, get curious, ask a question, then it felt stupid asking, so I delete them. But also because I’m starting to delete anything older than 3 days because I don’t want the AI bots to start scraping old data.
If he doesn’t, governments around the world are going to find him and experiment on him.
If I was alone, get satellite internet and set up a solar powered remote working squat in some remote desert outpost. Far from the impending water wars.
Since I have family I’ll just uh probably still drink. My kid’s a handful.
Easy, continue to eat and drink as expected when in the company of others. If pressed about appetite on any occasion, simply claim to have eaten beforehand.
Can I still eat and drink or is it a vampire situation?
Otherwise ‘Thanks I just ate’ when asked and use the time spent on cooking for sleep.
Disappear into a cave with a uhaul full of books and electronics
Fuck off humanity, I’ve had enough of your shit
I think we just cut the food budget in a third so… that’s nice. Undetected? What are they going to do, calculate how much a single household should eat, then drag the three of us away when we aren’t eating the right amount?
Oh they might now. They’re horrible beings. Guess I’ll eat some when out to put on a show.
Terminators never eat, the government has to root out the potential of assassins sent by Skynet.
(Plot twist, there was no “special ability”, you are a Terminator)
Oh, then I’m defective because all I want to do is bake and nap with a cat. Are you sure I’m a terminator and not like…a cast off terminator that they sent back purely to get rid of me??
If you’re interested in that storyline, check out NSA by Andreas Eschbach. I’m afraid that one might only be available in German.
I am extremely uninterested in reading the future!
Also more importantly I can only count to four in German. So I suspect I might struggle with the book.
I would do the same I normally do except just not eating, I don’t think it really changes much I mostly eat either for pleasure or to literally not die anyway so I’d just not do the latter.
I mostly eat alone so i highly doubt anyone would notice anyway.
I’ve been barely eating anyway. Nobody would even notice.
Do I die if I drink or eat because if not I just do it for social occasions and otherwise save time and money.
Jokes on you, Ill still depression eat
I still will eat lots because I can.
If this power is I can’t eat I just throw myself off a building.
