news culture These streamers insist on not eating. In an emergency, the fire brigade comes after the doctors.
The Twitch platform, specialized in video games, has gradually expanded its themes to host sometimes controversial shows. Recent example with the “No Food Challenge” challenge dreamed up by German videographer Maximilien “Trymacs” Stemmler, which is the subject of much controversy. To fight hunger, participants bared their bodies, prompting the intervention of doctors and firefighters.
In order to denounce the problem of hunger in the world, the German-language streamer came up with a concept called “No Food Challenge”. Along with seven other participants, he decided to go on a week-long fast, consuming only water and a few vitamins/minerals. The challenge, seriously full-bodied, was bound to cause problems. Especially if they are shown voluntarily cooked food or cookies at the same time. The challenge started on March 11th and three contestants were eliminated before the end of the challenge. IThe group was looked after by a nutritionist and a doctor (several took turns), but the lack of food kept causing vomiting and circulatory problems. The others finally held out before firefighters intervened on the evening of March 17.
After the doctors, the firefighters!
If you play with fire, you’ll end up getting burned. But not in the way you’d like it to be… As explained above, the “No Food Challenge” was designed to make the challenge impossible for streamers. The latter were forbidden to eat while watching succulent dishes pass under their noses. In fact, guests regularly visited and cooked meals on site! On the evening of March 17th, the day before the Challenge ended, it was the Challenge Initiator’s soccer team that showed up with steaks! They were cooked on the spot but not really according to the rules of the art, which caused a huge smoke emission. Hungry, none of the participants came up with the idea of activating the extractor hood and it turns out that the venue is a large complex with offices. When the smoke alarm started ringing, the fire brigade and the police immediately intervened!
Although the intervention caused costs of 8,000 dollars, the fire brigade and police were apparently forgiving. The challenge finally came to an end, but many felt the race for ratings and buzz had its limits. Trymacs has monopolized the first spots of the world’s most watched streamers, but with a desire to top them, this dangerous challenge is far from having found unanimous support. It’s right.
