They stopped using salt because it affected the warranties on their pots.
food service is an absolutely brutal industry i do not blame them in the slightest
The shocking part is that Olive Garden has an ~~air~~ oil fryer. I thought everything was made in a microwave.
The plot thickens…
Deep fat fryer, not an air fryer
They probably didn't even change the oil afterwards.
Waiter, there's hair in my fries!
That poor person, I know they must have been hurting so badly to do something that painful...
Of all the ways to do it, thats got to be near the top worst.
The thought alone of someone pulling you out in time to leave you alive, but blind and disfigured forever.
"head in the deep fryer" is honestly the only death in any friday the 13th movie that stuck with me
Not just the head, but face first
The employee, who hasn’t been identified, stripped his clothes off and thrust his face into the fryer at the chain’s restaurant
For me it's Freddie vs Jason: face->liquid nitrogen->table->smashed watermelon 🍉
I think that was Jason X, the one on the space station. But definitely the best kill in the series.
You're a legend, thank you!
I guess starting from the head would be better than starting from the bottom and going up
As a former Olive Garden cook, I totally get this.
I mean…I’ve heard the call of the void too but y’know didn’t actually listen to that thought to plunge my arm into the pot of boiling water.
This poor fuck actually listened to the call of the void. Ducking terrible way to die
There's no indication that's what this is. I get that it's unintentional but by suggesting that it is the call of the void you might be doing a disservice to people who do experience this kind of intrusive thought.
I'm not an expert on this and maybe someone else can provide a more concise explanation but my understanding is, this is a french term "l'appel du vide" or something referring to the feeling you get standing next to a precipise something like "imagine if I just jumped off".
These are also called intrusive thoughts and other common ones are turning into oncoming traffic while driving or cutting yourself with a knife.
I think it's pretty common to experience them but they can be very unsettling if you're depressed, anxious, stressed, or in particular for people with OCD.
My limited understanding is, it's not your mind telling you "you should jump off" but rather, "be aware of this life threatening situation". It's like a vestigial life preservation system left over from a time when our brains were much less well developed.
It's important for people who suffer from these to understand that they're not harmful, and they're not at risk of one day being compelled to do something like that.
The call of the void is your brain's warning system crossing into your imagination to get your attention, as you posit. It's totally normal.
People who struggle with OCD, PTSD, etc are more likely to be caught in the thought and repeat it as a pattern, be troubled by it, become trapped in it and suffer anxiety, which - anxiety about anxiety is panic, so this feedback loop can easily turn into panic disorder. Very troubling once this all starts happening.
You can get rid of these thoughts by recognizing they're normal, acknowledging them, thanking them for keeping you safe, and moving on. Simple once you know how.
It's when you resist the thought - try to stop it - that you, ironically, get caught up in it, and it begins playing on a loop. This is true of any type of thought. Several types of therapy try to guide you to the point of simply accepting your emotions so you can move on and not be troubled by them.
I am not sure about this case at all, your brain also has several self-protective mechanisms that would keep you from doing this, normally. Some sort of psychosis may have been involved.
Yep, this is pretty much what I thought, and why i commented.
Its not good for people to encounter these thoughts and worry that they might one day give in to them.
Its harmful to suggest that people can be controlled by them.
"you're still coming in tomorrow, right?"
There, uh ... there have to be ... uh ... there have to be less painful ways to do it.
Why though? It doesn't make a statement and that seems like a painful way to go?
It’s not fair to try and rationalize self-harm. When you get to the point where this is your option, why doesn't matter anymore. There is no grand statement, just out.
When you're in enough mental pain, the physical pain will either help you feel or help you stop feeling forever.
Gonna go ahean and guess that drugs were involved.
hopefully.
I mean possibly but not necessarily.
Man, I live a hour from Williamsport. Guess I won't be visiting that particular Olive Garden (I haven't been to an OG in 20 years)
because it's not conveniently located?
Obviously haha
I live in Williamsport, I've never eaten there, and certainly won't be eating there soon. Apparently he jumped in TWICE.
Holy shit that's determination.
I'd go for sure.
"This isn't what I ordered!"
I thought this was the "Me IRL" community for a sec
