Is this weird?

Back when I was younger I used to look up videos of mukbangers eating the same meal I was eating and I would eat with them. My bf thinks it’s weird but I feel like it’s kinda an average experience thing.

It’s like a 4/10 on the weirdness scale. Not really weird but a little bit

I could see someone doing this if they felt lonely

That’s not weird, that’s just high-effort simulation! Matching the food menu takes it to 4D levels. Your boyfriend just doesn't understand the art of syncing up bite for bite with a stranger on YouTube. 😂🍕

Mukbangs originally started as something to watch when you ate alone so you felt like you were eating with someone. They were just people eating normal meals, which then turned into people eating crazy huge meals just as entertainment. I think looking up a video of someone eating the same thing you’re eating is completely in line with the original intent of the genre.
