Can I eat myself to survive?

[Wrymouth3]

I'm hungry.

 

[BenitoChavez]

No. Eat a Snickers. The TV tells me that works

Spoiler :

It actually doesn't work. I'm always hungry after a Snickers

You can also fly by pulling your head up with your own hand. That's how birds do it.

 

[warpus]

You should try to eat your own head. (for science?)

 

[shadowplay]

It's been done.

Nonono. You have to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Sounds like something that 'Completely Stoned guy' meme would include

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Maybe, but I'd suggest a pork chop.

Stephen King wrote a short novel with this as the theme.

...you can slowly eat your own arm as long as you patch up the damage. Particularly the blood vessels, they need to be sewn up otherwise you'll bleed out.

 

[Quintillus]

Yes, and if you don't eat other things for long enough, you will. Your body will start to break down your muscles to use as energy, and thus you will essentially be eating yourself.

It's highly advised not to try this, however, as it's called "starvation". It's much preferable to keep enough fat reserves that this doesn't happen.

If you could eat yourself to survive, you would be a perpetual motion machine.

Whatever condiments you use would be an input.

Duh.

 

[El_Machinae]

Quintillus is correct, the safest and most efficient way of eating yourself is through a method you body already knows how to do.

 

[Tarquelne]

Except that injecting mustard is risky.

 

[Gori the Grey]

Look how it worked out for ouroboroi.

 

[ParkCungHee]

I'm pretty sure if I tried to eat myself, my body would reject it and be unable to digest it, at this point.

In one of the Hannibal Lechter movies he feeds that guy part of his own brain. Lesson there is to start by eating parts you aren't really using I guess.
