You can still die, just not from hunger/thirst.
And you have to hide it, or else governments around the world are gonna lock you to a blacksite and experiment on you. (I mean, you are essentially a weird mutant / supernatual being, governments be paranoid)
I think we just cut the food budget in a third so… that’s nice. Undetected? What are they going to do, calculate how much a single household should eat, then drag the three of us away when we aren’t eating the right amount?
Oh they might now. They’re horrible beings. Guess I’ll eat some when out to put on a show.
If you’re interested in that storyline, check out NSA by Andreas Eschbach. I’m afraid that one might only be available in German.
I am extremely uninterested in reading the future!
Also more importantly I can only count to four in German. So I suspect I might struggle with the book.
I might take a look, I need to practice my German
Terminators never eat, the government has to root out the potential of assassins sent by Skynet.
(Plot twist, there was no “special ability”, you are a Terminator)
Oh, then I’m defective because all I want to do is bake and nap with a cat. Are you sure I’m a terminator and not like…a cast off terminator that they sent back purely to get rid of me??
Tbh I managed to almost forget to eat pretty much all of last week so my habits probably wouldn’t change much, I’m guessing I can still eat just for the sake of eating right? So I could just eat out every now and again and no one would notice
That’s not really something that’s that noticeable tbh, so… just do stuff as normal, but without food and water
I doubt anyone except my partner would notice, so I don’t need to live in fear of being found out. Besides, I’d probably still eat anyway because food is awesome.

If he doesn’t, governments around the world are going to find him and experiment on him.
Because I get bored, think of a subject, get curious, ask a question, then it felt stupid asking, so I delete them. But also because I’m starting to delete anything older than 3 days because I don’t want the AI bots to start scraping old data.
I enjoy eating, so they’d never notice. The only thing it could possibly be an issue is if they decided to try to torture me by starving me, and by that point I’m already fucked.
Why would I want to hide it? I’m turning myself in and letting them do their best to figure out what happened to me, on the condition that I’m paid fairly for my time (just as with any other human trial). If they can figure out how to replicate it, it would be incredibly useful.
I think any scientists or government organizations would be much happier experimenting on a consenting and cooperative subject than a kidnapped and imprisoned one.
Easy: I eat and drink (a little) even though I don’t need to.
“No thanks, I’m not hungry”
“Weird, you havent eaten for days, and you seems to still have so much energy.”
a few moment later
“🚨🚔🚨 over radio IN PURSUIT OF AN EXTRATERRESTIAL LIFE FORM…”
(Sorry if I’m being silly, I kinda just envisioned a universe where people have strange abilities and a totalitarian government is paranoid and want to lock up everyone with special abilities)
Disappear into a cave with a uhaul full of books and electronics
Fuck off humanity, I’ve had enough of your shit
I still will eat lots because I can.
If this power is I can’t eat I just throw myself off a building.
Does that also remove the need to poop and piss?
Can I still eat and drink or is it a vampire situation?
Otherwise ‘Thanks I just ate’ when asked and use the time spent on cooking for sleep.
I mostly eat alone so i highly doubt anyone would notice anyway.
I live alone, so I’ll get away with it pretty easily. Whenever I eat a meal with others, I’ll just eat/drink a small amount.
