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

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Make it garlic then, just to be sure

[–] weariedfae@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

Futurama - Thompson's teeth, the only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I like how working in the film industry has made you shutter instead of shudder

Damn it! Wrong shudder speed!

One time, my team needed audio of people eating, so our sound guy recorded us eating our lunch with a really sensitive mic.

Bad idea indeed. Next time tell him he should record people using forks and knives and plates, but not any sounds that come from the mouth.

Scenes where people eat are "cleaned" very much in films. You see and hear people talking, playing a little with their food and that's that. Never the real action of chewing, swallowing etc. (unless the film actually wants to create some bad vibes)

[–] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This was specifically supposed to be gross. We needed audio of people chewing.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Ughh... oh, well. Enjoy! :)

[–] _Sprite@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Preferably the captor

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

You're afraid of Japanese soup?

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Fake Japanese soup specifically

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.

[–] Webster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh my god those loop earplugs have been a lifesaver! Started using them about a year ago. Can't recommend them enough for anyone else suffering

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

My brother's wife bought me a pair a couple years ago and I was really skeptical but they are great. They also help me not get stressed out when I'm around loud children which was another big issue for me. I actually enjoy going to family gatherings now and don't have to step away to calm my nerves every 30 minutes or so.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 30 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] AplasticAenima@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cold soup isn't nearly as annoying.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Cottage cheese.

[–] SleepyBear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Spoonful after spoonful of cereal with milk. Nothing worse

[–] Tazerface@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Something alive which can scream.

[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

"Themselves"

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I want to be in that room now.

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 2 days ago

Their words.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did you read the other person's suggestion about mice or are there two people here to independently came up with this grim idea?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

I just posted it myself as the first thing that came to mind with something small and cute and noise-making. Hadn't read other comments at that point.
