19-ish hours. I practice intermittent fasting and sometimes I unintentionally go over my standard 16 hours because I’m busy doing something and I forget.

probably like 18 hours max
That's not too uncommon for me. Eat dinner at 7PM, don't eat again until noon or so the next day.
40 days
Take potassium and calcium supplements or your bones are gonna hurt
War there a reason for such a long time without food?
Yeah, the Muslims were about to do a fast but when I heard they were wimping out of it after sundown, I knew right then and there I had to beat them at their own game. I've also Lented harder than Christ, so don't think I'm picking on just one religion.

You must have one very restrictive definition of eating
More restrictive than the feeling I get by wearing briefs
Just get a size larger. Or a skirt, they're surprisingly comfy
12 to 14 hours, or so. That's how I found out about hypoglycemia. Played paintball all day, started feeling sick and was throwing up and passing out walking home, someone called an ambulance and after they checked me out they said I just needed to eat. 🤣
When you're paintballing so hard you almost die. This is something I can appreciate.
Brings back good memories of playing woodsball. That shit is more taxing than people realize!
A couple of days, but I was really sick. When healthy*, I’ll sometimes do 24 hours, but that includes big meals bookending that time. I do also tend to have coffee with oat milk, protein drinks, and/or juice during that time, so it’s not without nourishment, just without solid foods.
*don't be like me, kids. It’s not good to eat too sporadically (I’d be much worse about it if my husband were not basically samwise gamgee). I’ve got adhd and forget to eat sometimes, and I’ve noticed it’s always more difficult to eat if I’ve eaten very little lately.
4 or 5 days, just forgot to eat tbh
40ish hours without eating or sleeping, I was just busy and didn't get to it.
Maybe like 30 hours. I was feeling depressed and didn't want to eat at the time.
7 day water and electrolyte fast
A couple of days, I was doing Atkins diet at the time and completely lost my hunger, so I just forgot to eat for two days until someone asked me what I had had for lunch and I realized I hadn't eaten lunch, or dinner, or lunch the day before, or dinner the day before that. It was a weird feeling realizing I had gone almost 48 hours without food without even noticing.
Two and a half day for a fast. I don't count being ill, like a flu
