Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.

Right now, here’s the rules:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

Here are the current tags:

I used to hate the /s but we live in a global world where there may be young people and non native english speakers reading these comments. What is an obvious sarcastic joke to you and I might get lost in translation and on a case like this where actual fatal consequences could follow the joke being misunderstood there's no harm in the community self policing a little to help keep everyone safe and in the loop.

As an ex-young person and a non native english speaker, definitely agree. Back when I was younger and on Reddit I have missed satire on many different jokes cause the intentions of commenters would be hard to deduce.

Thankfully I wasn’t stupid enough to do something like put out an electric fire with water, but there has most definitely been a case of someone killing themselves because they couldn’t tell whether a comment was a joke or not.
