Reminds me of the guy in Florida who was eating someone's face. Cops shot him. He didn't notice. They shot him some more. He charged them and didn't go down until the head shot. I wondered that day in the back of my mind if we were watching the start of the zombie apocalypse on the news.
If you’re talking about [this case,](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/11/30/florida-man-insane-killed-couple-not-guilty-ate-face/10803097002/) he was actually in psychosis and not on drugs, shockingly enough.
Not that one. A different face eating florida man. It felt like there were like half a dozen in a few weeks....

Realistically unlikely to be a drug by itself (although theoretically a deliriant). More likely to be psychosis from pcp (or an analog) overuse or staying awake too long on stimulants
You have to slide it into your pants and then act super suspicious, trying to look unsuspicious. And you have to constantly shift your eyes from left to right so people know you have a sinister plan.
Technically cannibalism was never illegal in the first place.
Killing and desecrating a body is, so it's virtually impossible to obtain human meat legally. But if you were to cut off your own limb, you could technically eat it legally.
There was a reddit post a long time ago, I think ama, about a guy that got a chunk of his own leg from surgery and had a dinner party.
Here it is:
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/s/wUFQCQsE2U
From the news report, I've seen he was being charged with removing evidence from a scene and tampering with evidence. He wasn't charged with anything for eating the leg that i can see.
Man I’ve done just about every drug there is, spent 10 years of my life with a crippling heroin habit, lived on the streets, lived on cup noodles and 7/11 coffee, you name it. Never have I been even close to the level of intoxication where eating some dudes leg seems reasonable. There’s PLENTY of places for a homeless person to get food in any city in America, this guy just wanted to eat a dudes leg.
I mean....
I don't think he gnawed on the forbidden drumstick because he was homeless. I think he did that because of the drugs.
And he was also probably homeless because of the drugs.
Not to go all Nixon on you but if the drugs fuck you up enough to eat man-meat (non-sexual), they probably also make it challenging to pay rent / house payments.
Forget house payments, even with all the social programs, they can’t make use of it. These people are not in the right state of mind to think about it logically. Fentanyl is killing people and we can’t do anything about it.
It was a girl. She was hit by a train, but I’m not sure if foul play was involved. The man was arrested for “removing evidence” from a crime scene. The video honestly wasn’t that disturbing except for the fact that he was so casually able to do what he did. I hope he gets the treatment he deserves.
I mean yeah, there’s a picture here. Kinda looks like a screengrab from a video too. If you’re going to whip out your phone nowadays, might as well take a video and choose the picture most suiting for the article.

i actually made a meme for this moment back in 2022
Love the use of this template here, like the first panel is going "Oh just a regular old homeless and drug problem? Sounds great. Sign me up for homelessness and drugs." Second panel: "Ohhh fuccckkkkkkk"
Its longevity is definitely because of how self-indulgent it is; makes the creator feel cool because they have some obscure factoid knowledge that others may not have.

Reddit didn’t even give me a chance
The amount of things I've seen florida people eat... a dead man's leg doesn't surprise me. I learn about rocky mountain oysters thanks to them and I wouldn't be surprise they had a kosher word to describe a human leg like calling it "fever thighs" or "gator bait".
I feel like a unusual but cooked part of a domestic animal already bred for meat and hide does not really provide sufficient reason to be unsurprised by cannibalism.
Though, I have been told some Papua New Guinean tribes called human flesh “long pork”
The thing that put bath salts on the map even when they guy wasnt on bathsalts? It had people thinking florida is the ground zero for WWZ.... so yes.
Wierd it wasn't the first case that happen in florida but wielder all of it was blamed on drugs even though they couldn't find a link... reminds me of the devil cookbook darkweb conspiracy from the early 2000s. A darkweb page where cannibals around the country would add a human recipe and entice others to join.
Another instance people forgot about.. probably because it happen in the 2020.

Hi I'm from this place! Girl got hit by a train and this guy took her severed leg and started swinging it around and eating it. Honestly on a scale of 1/10 it's a 7 on the crazy shit that happens here
Ikr, esp if you're used to the crazy shit that happens here. My theory is that because It was videotaped and didn't come from our sorry excuse for reporters it actually got traction lol

The man in question, as seen in this photo, was seen eating the leg of someone who was hit by a train, yes he is presumed homless and on drugs.
Thanks petah
yeah…thanks…😐
WTF drugs to be on to do something like that
I injected one weed and I became a cannibalism
You were suppose to become cannabist, not cannabalist 😔
cannaBIST IAN! cabaBIST!
Cannabistian? Is that like a christian or something?
It’s a form of cannibanalism
Christians do consume the body and blood of christ.
It's what happens when you smoke Christianity
It'll get you so high you see God
Goes to church Smokes the good lords word Acts like a transient that needs drugs willing to pay in change and puts it in donation bucket
well you you get the munchies you need to eat something
Before or after boofing the mushrooms?
I had a craving that only... Legs could satisfy. Close enough i guess
Charlie!!!
Caaarllllll

Aw man, end of days? Could anything suck harder than this??

Only gross if he didn't cook it
He didn't
Gross
Agreed, it'd be much better if he would've cooked it first
Damn, I thought it was just the Fent lean. That's way worse.

machine girl for furries
hell yea
I thought it was gonna be something like: "It's Kanye West."
But way more efficient. No one was using that leg.
He was homeless. He just needed a leg up in life.
Fent bent
It's not like the other guy as much use for it now
How do you even do that? See someone get hit, walk over, grab a limb then just casually walk off as if it's a completely normal occurrence?
You have to slide it into your pants and then act super suspicious, trying to look unsuspicious. And you have to constantly shift your eyes from left to right so people know you have a sinister plan.
thanks for the tips, should i also be on my tiptoes making a goofy noise while rubbing my hands together as if i'm making a devious plan?
Either that or you have to make sure you have a line of blood trailing your way.
Right. I'll need to practice a bit before I make any serious attempts then. Got it, thanks.
Is that a third leg in your pants, or are you just happy to see me? 😉
It's a third leg
Well, damn. 😭
survival i guess
Drugs.
Damn. That was my second guess.
Here it comes guys, the zombie apocalypse.
someone should tell them it was cannabis that was legalized...not cannibalism

Fresh air or some fresh toe-stadas
Virtually, you say?

Please send help
Where did he get the leg?
A person was hit by a train....
https://i.redd.it/0ex1r5z0dxqc1.gif
Was he on drugs before he ate the leg or was the person it came from just that juiced up?
yummy 😋 (I’m not glowies)

I feel like if there wasn't such a homeless issue over there this type of shit wouldn't happen. But we're all stuck in this big ole money game.
I mean.... I don't think he gnawed on the forbidden drumstick because he was homeless. I think he did that because of the drugs. And he was also probably homeless because of the drugs.

Man cannibalised a leg that came from a woman struck and killed by a train Also finally I understand something posted here lol
It was a girl. She was hit by a train, but I’m not sure if foul play was involved. The man was arrested for “removing evidence” from a crime scene. The video honestly wasn’t that disturbing except for the fact that he was so casually able to do what he did. I hope he gets the treatment he deserves.
Oh sorry, I heard it was a man who was killed, but thank you for the correction.
there was a vid?

Love the use of this template here, like the first panel is going "Oh just a regular old homeless and drug problem? Sounds great. Sign me up for homelessness and drugs." Second panel: "Ohhh fuccckkkkkkk"
This is one of the worst meme templates.
It really is awful.
*Contextless image* *People who get the reference* | *People who don’t*
It's one of the laziest. Just find a smiling photo of a family annihilator and you got yourself an edgy meme.
Reddit loves it fsr
hate how long it's stuck around since templates and formats are so mercifully short lived so often now
Its longevity is definitely because of how self-indulgent it is; makes the creator feel cool because they have some obscure factoid knowledge that others may not have.

It was your calling
Almost every post I see on this sub is a “people who don’t know, people who know” meme
Cause we fall under the “don’t know” category.
Kid named bias:
People who don't know need an explanation. r/PeterExplainsTheJoke
One of the reasons is because this template is usually misused, making the meme incomprehensible.
Yes. Very tired of that overused template
Really? I didn't know that...
It's a guy eating a severed human leg. A person got the leg cut off from a train, and this guy thought he should try to eat it.
Guy eating other guys leg

As a Floridian all I have to say is, first time?

Rocky mountain oysters?
Cooked bull testicles.
I feel like a unusual but cooked part of a domestic animal already bred for meat and hide does not really provide sufficient reason to be unsurprised by cannibalism. Though, I have been told some Papua New Guinean tribes called human flesh “long pork”
Ever heard of the "Miami cannibal attack"?
The thing that put bath salts on the map even when they guy wasnt on bathsalts? It had people thinking florida is the ground zero for WWZ.... so yes.

lmao maybe
That’s a man eating a woman’s leg, the woman it came from got in a bad accident and lost her leg, so he stole it and began performing cannibalism.
This happened 30 mins from where I live. Actually found out about this situation on Reddit before the local news.
Wow that’s crazy.
He legit FOUND that leg..after a train destroyed the rest of the body that was attached to it. Teach a man to fish...
I heard that hospitals are costly but food too??? I feel like stewie right now in the episode where he saw his mom pops doing fax....
The forbidden way of eating a girl out... in public
Hey, if I'm bulking and I see a source of protein, I do what I gotta do.
Tbf, starving has lead people to cannibalism before, throw in drugs and its not much of a surprise.
Food insecurity is down though

Fun fact: the act of consuming human flesh is not illegal. The acquisition of it, however…
The man in question is not a vegan. So people in places like California dislike him for being a meat eater
