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:
- Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
- It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
- 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:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.
- OC - You made this cursed food yourself!
- Meta - Relating to the community itself.

(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

we basically passive-aggressively legalized and normalized torture as a punishment…
something something eight amendment
“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”.
the fact that some people aren’t eating has literally nothing to do with grind all of a prisoners food up into a mush just to make sure they can’t enjoy any aspect of it.
locking someone in a cage is way more than enough punishment.
we’re supposed to be rehabilitating them so when they reenter society they’re not completely feral
most people in there shouldn’t be in there, many are completely innocent… the united states has the way too many people behind bars and it’s very well documented.
yeah, they’re not there to enjoy themselves, but they’re not there to be tortured either….
That may or may not be the case, but there seems to be no point in continuing this discussion here as all of my comments appear to be getting deleted by a mod anyways.
But yes, I’m sure there’s plenty of people in there who don’t deserve, just as I’m sure that there’s plenty of people on the outside who should be in prison in their stead. And yes, the food does look rather pitiful, but that alone doesn’t look like a human rights violation to me as it seems edible in a pinch.
