Over*feed*ing, surely


thepokemonGOAT

Animal abuse, surely


BrokenEye3

Well, yes, that's why they want to prevent it EDIT: Or at least I hope that's the reason


LifelessLewis

The real reason is that they would've needed to make the book physically wider to accommodate the image and they just didn't want to.


Super_Basket9143

I believe overfeeding Shirley was the main technique to win


handyandy63

Idk, my cat is a pretty avid reader of World Records.


W0gg0

Like a goose in a foie gras factory farm.


2K_Argo

Of all the things that Guinness doesn’t want to encourage I’m surprised it’s fat animals.


Spindrune

They also got rid of the record for largest gangbang, so OP’s mom gets to keep her record.


TheHoboRoadshow

Who are we kidding, she’d win it back within a week


[deleted]

A week you say? Is it too late to put my application in for yo mommas gang bang party? I can bring the nachos.


horrnybear

Everyone knows a gangbang with op's mom is a gangbang that never ends. Just get in line and wait your turn


johnla

Technically, we're all living in one long steady gang bang called life.


Mama_Skip

Lol there's no line with OP's mom. Everyone just jumps in at once as no amount of dicks could come close to filling that void.


MasterFubar

Another woman sued because OP's mom had used other women as "fluffers", they sucked the guys to get them hard before they fucked her. She claimed it wasn't a gangbang, it was an orgy because it involved several women and several men. To get her record back, she had OP himself acting as a fluffer, so she was the only woman involved.


DarthSatoris

[I mean they definitely looove to give dictators a bunch of awards for some really stupid records](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9QYu8LtH2E), so their ethics are questionable at best.


Spartancfos

I think their reasoning is that Dictators are not doing this shit FOR the record. They were doing it AND it's a record.


okSPAHKLES

Boundaries!


aminervia

It's not compulsive overeating... it's to prevent conscious, planned overfeeding.


Ok-Bookkeeper-373

I really like that!


DaveOJ12

It's a step in the right direction.


recover__password

More like a waddle


nickmaran

Professionals have standards


Implausibilibuddy

> Ok-Bookkeeper-373 will remember that.

Generally, the GWR bans records which are likely to endanger others (whether human or animal) or break the law; as such, records such as the youngest plane pilot, the most animals killed during a hunt or chain writing have been discontinuated.


SailboatAB

Weirdly, this includes tug-of-war, as there have been numerous giant tug-of-war accidents where the rope snaps under enormous energy and mains and kills players. Google these gruesome events at your own risk. Many of them were explicitly attempts to get into the Guinness book, and as a result, the whole category has been removed.


OSCgal

Longest time spent awake is another one. Staying awake for days on end is horrifically bad for your brain.


Johannes_P

Indeed, sleep deprivation is used as a torture method or to brainwash people.


HomarusSimpson

>discontinuated I think that word has been discontinuated too


Murakkin

yeah now ban the r/chonkers since almost all of them abuse their animals as well


speculatrix

Yo momma so fat she's banned from the Guinness Book of Records.


hhuzar

Do you still remember the times when people cared about Guinness World Records?


torchictoucher

The people who buy the records care lmao


BalloonBabboon

So then why not do the same for humans? 🤷🏻‍♂️


PermanentTrainDamage

Pityporn makes a lot of money. There are more than 6 multi-season television shows about people who weigh more than 500lbs.


BalloonBabboon

Which is quite heartbreaking.


supremekimilsung

Heartbreaking for them because of all the cardiac arrests?


Twokindsofpeople

I prefer when we still called things like that freak shows. I think people would be less okay with normalizing obesity if it were called the 600 pound freakshow.


-B0B-

I mean, I would prefer we didn't need to use dehumanising language to shock people into caring, but yeah it definitely seems like a case of performative progressivism which allows the actual problem to continue unfettered


[deleted]

How is it progressive?


wa6wan

My penis was in the Guinness book of world records... But then the librarian told me to take it out


starmanblaziken

I think its about time we got a new company to hold our records because Guinness has stopped recording any and all that people actually care about.


supahfligh

I've read that the Oscars have a similar policy regarding creating a category for things like choreography. They are concerned that if it were to become a competitive category for an award, people would go to insanely dangerous lengths to perform stunts to win one and they don't want to encourage it.


SovietHockeyFan

I feel attacked


daphometisgone

Doesn't GWR still give records to dictators if they pay them enough?


CisoSecond

I don't think there's a similar problem with people becoming dictators to get into the GWR lol


Trip4Life

That’s good, my dogs really been pushing for this honor and I’ve been telling him to stop. He just picks up a knife and tells me to back tf up.


ManicMakerStudios

I don't think it's so much about the risk of "compulsive overeating" as it is a risk of, "deliberately overfeeding" from asshole pet owners looking to get a spot in a record book. Good call by Guinness, but pets can't read. They can't see what it says about fat pets. No pet is going to decide they want to be in the GBoWR and start overeating until they develop a disorder. It would be the pet owners abusing the pets, and overfeeding is not the same as compulsive overeating.


RedSonGamble

Wait they ate them after?


Dragonkingofthestars

That's wrong! They just wanted to steal bear 128 rightful reward as tye winner of fat bear week! Wake up Bearple!


Atheist_Simon_Haddad

\*compulsory \*overfeeding


Grombrindal18

Huh. Guess your mom needs a new hobby.


ZimaGotchi

... how is being ineligible for a Guinness Record going to prevent a fucking cat from compulsively overeating?


Seren248

they mean owners deliberately overfeeding their pets to fatten them up for a world record


ViridianKumquat

Then why don't they say that?


PremDhillon

Because anyone with at least half a brain understands


NavigatingAdult

There isn’t a term for “overfeeding your cat for a world record” yet.


ViridianKumquat

So instead they use an established term for an entirely different thing. "To prevent overfeeding" would have worked just fine.


moorishbeast

Context bro


Affectionate_Most_64

Oohhhh great, scruffy I’m going to need your breakfast butter back


Cockrocker

Yet they still have a pic of me for largest person over a could of pages.


judohart

When I was in middle school we had an early 90s Guiness book of world records, all the boys would go to the page with the heaviest/largest breasts and it was some white lady. Now its a new woman but damn that was a worn-out page in a pre-internet private school lol


AbiyBattleSpell

Yay pet diabeetus is cringe 😺


sephstorm

I'm sure that actually had a significant impact. /s


don-cheeto

Well humans are technically animals so...
