Ask Lemmy

Teeth.

I work in film post-production. One time, my team needed audio of people eating, so our sound guy recorded us eating our lunch with a really sensitive mic. When I was editing the audio in, it was really gross at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

The thing that still haunts me is the really subtle sound of forks hitting teeth. shutters

My stepdad would eat bananas with his mouth wide open as he chewed. And he'd chew each bite for a solid minute before swallowing. Even though it's a banana and you can literally just mash it agains the roof of your mouth with your tongue. He would do this as he was driving, so I think he'd just get distracted and forget that he was still chewing food. But it made every ride to school in the morning an absolute living hell.

So I'm gonna go with bananas.

I have a condition called misophonia. Just kill me instead. Please.

My wife.

I'm so deaf I could sit in a room full of large, sweaty men slurping chicken off drumsticks while making open-mouthed, gruntled dad noises with every gasping breath, and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Well, other than such a room existing, that is.

Live mice would be pretty messed up.

The food doesn't matter if the person eating is my dad. He makes loud nasty noises no matter what he is eating. Once he is done eating the noise continues for 10 minutes because he is cleaning his teeth with his tongue.

Slurping on some hot soup. I don't know why, but that sound gets under my skin.

Jokes on them, listening isn't my torture. It's seeing people eat with their mouth open and especially bits falling out while chewing. Yuck

Not for the weak of heart.

For me, it’s corn on the cob.

Man, I dunno if I really want to explore this rabbit hole, but I'm sure that there's much-less-tolerable stuff out there. Say, live mice or something.

Something alive which can scream.

Ice cubes. From a cup. That they are shaking periodically between sips/bites.

Deez nuts

Glass.

Back in the day, a girlfriend of mine eating fries and mayo. She is a professor at Leuven University now, very smart mind, sweet and handsome...but you wouldn't take her out to the snackbar because she would eat like a hungry pig.

me

My limbs.

I'm torn between "no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)" and "crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)"

Those asmr mukbang videos. I can't stand asmr sounds in general, eating makes it worse

Torture? My genitals and not in a fun way.

Ranch Corn Nuts

Are you doing research for a personal project or just asking for a friend?

My ex-MIL has TMJ and chews with her mouth open so I’d say her eating kettle chips, jaw clicking with every bite.

Ribs. It's ribs.

My captor must have had experience working help desk. I've endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.

Ice cubes

nuclear samyang buldak (spicy noodles).

they have to eat it japanese style where they have to slurp. i think the sounds would be too tempting asmr.
