You are being tortured. Your captor is forcing you to listen to someone else eat. What are they eating?

Teeth.

I work in film post-production. One time, my team needed audio of people eating, so our sound guy recorded us eating our lunch with a really sensitive mic. When I was editing the audio in, it was really gross at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

The thing that still haunts me is the really subtle sound of forks hitting teeth. shutters

My stepdad would eat bananas with his mouth wide open as he chewed. And he'd chew each bite for a solid minute before swallowing. Even though it's a banana and you can literally just mash it agains the roof of your mouth with your tongue. He would do this as he was driving, so I think he'd just get distracted and forget that he was still chewing food. But it made every ride to school in the morning an absolute living hell.

So I'm gonna go with bananas.

I have a condition called misophonia. Just kill me instead. Please.

My wife.

Live mice would be pretty messed up.

I'm so deaf I could sit in a room full of large, sweaty men slurping chicken off drumsticks while making open-mouthed, gruntled dad noises with every gasping breath, and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Well, other than such a room existing, that is.

The food doesn't matter if the person eating is my dad. He makes loud nasty noises no matter what he is eating. Once he is done eating the noise continues for 10 minutes because he is cleaning his teeth with his tongue.

Slurping on some hot soup. I don't know why, but that sound gets under my skin.

If we’re talking strictly food items, my aunt sucking on hard candies. Bonus torture points for doing so while smoking in a car with only my window hardly cracked (because that’s all that was allowed) and being constantly on/off the accelerator without any reason the whole car ride. I cannot express how trapped I felt in that car sometimes…

That or people sucking goddamn marrow out of goddamn bones.

Jokes on them, listening isn't my torture. It's seeing people eat with their mouth open and especially bits falling out while chewing. Yuck

Not for the weak of heart.

Ice cubes. From a cup. That they are shaking periodically between sips/bites.

For me, it’s corn on the cob.

Man, I dunno if I really want to explore this rabbit hole, but I'm sure that there's much-less-tolerable stuff out there. Say, live mice or something.

Something alive which can scream.

Deez nuts

me

Back in the day, a girlfriend of mine eating fries and mayo. She is a professor at Leuven University now, very smart mind, sweet and handsome...but you wouldn't take her out to the snackbar because she would eat like a hungry pig.

Glass.

Those asmr mukbang videos. I can't stand asmr sounds in general, eating makes it worse

Ranch Corn Nuts

I'm torn between "no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)" and "crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)"

Are you doing research for a personal project or just asking for a friend?

Torture? My genitals and not in a fun way.

My limbs.

As someone who likes watching people eat this won't work on me. I'm into this shit.

Ice cubes

Aluminum foil.

apples

Oysters

My ex-MIL has TMJ and chews with her mouth open so I’d say her eating kettle chips, jaw clicking with every bite.

Peanuts

Cottage cheese with nuts in it.

My captor must have had experience working help desk. I've endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.

My dad eating cereal. Every spoonful was slurped loudly.

they're eating the catpussy

Ribs. It's ribs.

Bananas.

nuclear samyang buldak (spicy noodles).

they have to eat it japanese style where they have to slurp. i think the sounds would be too tempting asmr.

This would be literal torture to my wife. I think after watching enough movies with sound effects, eating food, and seeing her reactions it would be the sound of people eating spaghetti with their hands, audibly slurping up the noodles, chewing with their mouths open, combined with loudly smooching and making kissing sounds. They're also popping their necks and elbows throughout the process. She might literally go crazy if she was forced to listen to that for a long period.

I dont care what they are eating, but they are eating it in one of these

The sound of these things opening gives me nightmares

Doesn't matter what they are eating. Their mouth is open and they are mouth breathing as they chew.

Ramen. And they are slurping like an 85 year old man who hasn't had to care in 6 decades.

CRAB!

My hubs loves them so I get to sit across the table and listen as he brutally cracks open his food.

You know what they do with the legs, yeah?

Honey. Licking makes me want to remove my ears

Spoonful after spoonful of cereal with milk. Nothing worse

Cottage cheese.

Sand

Itt: people with Misophonia.

My stepdad - generally an okay Rick Moranis type and a wizard at the penny stocks - had a quirk. We found out he specifically hated people sucking the sauce off their fingers after eating chicken wings; that kind of thing.

Oh God, we were relentless.

dim sum and they have a clicky jaw

I can't say I listen to people eat so much that I'm knowledgeable on what sounds weirdest. I mean when I'm eating I'm usually focusing on my food so if the person next to me sounds weird I don't really notice.

Literally anything. They don't have to exaggerate their mouth sounds either. I have misophonia.

Their words.

Tete de Veau

Pudding, with their fingers

I think if I am already being tortured I couldn't care less about the sound of someone else eating.

Preferably the captor
