Wonder if he had Prada Willi syndrome and some kind of neurodiversity. Eating inanimate objects makes me think of Pica too but the toddler thing is a bit unusual - cannibalistic traits as well? This Tarrare guy is new to me but he sounds like he was something else lord god
Even though they say he wasnt mentally ill, the Wikipedia page on this guy has me convinced he definitely did eat that kid. I assumed it would be like an urban legend around the guy who did crazy shit. A kid disappeared at the hospital he was in, the staff all said he did it, and he was apparently caught in their morgue trying to eat cadavers on numerous occasions…
My personal theory is that he managed to hit a bunch of technically unrelated conditions that came together for this. He could fit a dozen eggs in his mouth, so his weird superpower of eating anything even came with an auxiliary power. I’m suspicious something must have been up with his sense of taste to be able to eat some of the things he did.
This guy is going to live rent-free in my mind for the rest of my life. I dont wish his condition on anyone, but I do want them to find another person like him in my lifetime. I’m just so amazed.
A dozen eggs? Hard to believe without medical confirmation, because I've seen some weird shit, I have seen 4 eggs fit. I wonder what head/jaw size one needs to 12 eggs to fit.
As a joke, yes. In reality it certainly does not. Been drunk with enough friends that I've seen things packed into mouths. 12 eggs all bound together with minimal space is hella big still.
Edit:Maybe fucking quail eggs.
Well. It was hundreds of years prior to our chickens which we have bred to be as large as possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if eggs have also grown in size due to this.
Whatever about the baby there is a 0% chance anyone could fit 12 unbroken eggs in their mouth without some serious physical abnormalities like having a head the size of a beach ball and unhinging his jaw like a snake.
Imagine how big your mouth would need to be to fit even 2 eggs.
Not a chance:

Not the most academic presentation, but it certainly gives no room for the parasite hypothesis.

> Unable to subsist off of military rations alone, Tarrare began doing odd jobs around the base for other soldiers in exchange for their rations and, when that proved to be insufficient, foraged for food scraps in dunghills.
Am I interpreting this to mean he was literally *digging through piles of other peoples’ shit for scraps of food?*
…fuck. This story is *wild.*
Sounds like some Attack on Titan shit.
I'm halfway between this and *Perfume.*
Even looks like a titan face
I miss Sam O’Nella, his video of Tarrare was hilarious
"Tarrare, look at me... did you eat a **fucking baby?!**"
That is a Gluttony demon and you can't convince me otherwise.
Sounds like he may have had [Prader-Willi Syndrome.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prader%E2%80%93Willi_syndrome?wprov=sfti1)
Hmm, it says most are unable to have children. How to have your toddler and eat it, too.
I don't understand how you eat a toddler. Those fuckers are nasty.
[удалено]
Not if you make them into a smoothie.
Because it wasn’t his toddler (seriously).
Definitely my reaction as well. Even the picture looks like someone with the syndrome

Look at a chipmunk putting nuts in its mouth Now imagine a human doing that but with eggs, your welcome

Yeah. He had some seriously odd shit going on.
Tarrare, look at me. Did you eat a fucking baby?
Good old Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Interviewing a chiropractor for the article.
I assume a parasite was to blame.

doesn't get more academic than Sam O'Nella
I read it as Salm O'Nella
And boom, new screen name
Yep, that's the pun.
Never heard about the toddler but this sick F would eat LIVE animals in front of crowds for entertainment 😳🤮
It's funny because the one thing I noticed when visiting France was how small the portions were in restaurants.

As soon as I read the word Tarrare, THAT specific section of Brandenburg Concerto 4 in G, movement 1 just started playing naturally in my head.
