Man Dares God By Eating 512 Oysters in A Single Sitting
This guy is going to kill himself.
Published 3 months ago
A dude on Instagram who calls himself The Hippie Meathead has been eating oysters every few days, doubling the total number of shooters he shoots per day in the process. The Hippie Meathead started his series over a month ago with a single lowly oyster; however, he’s since reached critical mass, as last week he uploaded a video of himself consuming a deadly 512 oysters in one sitting.
From what I can tell, his oyster series isn’t about raising money or promoting a charity; he’s simply daring God to take him out, which is both hilariously disgusting and wildly dangerous, as oysters can kill you.
In his most recent video, The Hippie Meathead shucks and blends 100 oysters at a time before putting the gray slop into a beer bong and chugging it. I’ve seen a lot of gross and dangerous videos online in my day, but I’ve never seen anything this dumb and dangerous.
How dangerous is it? Well, just yesterday, two people in Louisiana died due to eating contaminated oysters. Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium found in raw seafood, and it’s very lethal. By law, restaurants that serve oysters and other raw forms of seafood must offer disclaimers to their customers because, while oysters are delicious, they’re uncooked, and therefore, not without risk.
Along those lines, it’s worth noting that The Hippie Meathead hasn’t been heard from since downing those 512 oysters. He’s said his next goal is 1,024. I’m not a betting man, but I doubt he accomplishes such a gastronomic feat — not because he’s going to give up, but because he’s probably already with God.
