@@melissalonla I watched a video about a baby that wasn't growing and the doctors couldn't figure out why that was. In the end someone asked if the baby's nappy was filled very frequently and smelled worse than the norm. The answer was yes, and the reason was that the baby just wasn't absorbing the nutrients from their food, so the food essentially went strait through their body. If not absorbing nutrients and foul smelling waste are linked, this would also explain why Tarrare needed to eat so much; because he was bad at absorbing nutrients from what he did eat, he needed to eat way more to survive.
He totally left out the most interesting stuff. They found that his stomach acid was drastically more acidic than the common man. To the point of mostly destroying the nutrition in the food and leaving him with permanent diarrhea. His stomach lining was extremely thick and was covered in ulcers. And if I’m remembering correctly he had significantly less intestine than the average human.
8:35 "how can your body pass a box?" This Tarrare dude had been eating monster loads his whole life, think he also got used to taking monster-sized dumps ;)
"Tarrare, did you eat a baby?" "Well, after reading A Modest Proposal I had to try it to see what the fuss was about." "....Swift was being satirical not literal." "Oh. Well.... he wasn't lying."
I think his condition wasn't purely psycological because he didn't get fat. Maybe his body absorbed like barely any nutrients... There is currently a couple people on this world that have to eat like a full meal an hour or their body will starve.
Cyprian Michalczyk Sam even said that when some doctors looked down his throat, they could see his stomach. Like completely down there, just by opening his mouth. Most of his body was stomach.
@@highadmiraljt5853 Maybe his stomach could hold more food but that didn't mean he could digest more. So the food he ate didn't break down and food just slipped through his body while he couldn't absorb any nutrients.
@@Cosiek7 Basically it could be a result of the stomach being four times bigger. It could store way more food, but it would not be able to digest it well because of its size. There wouldn't be any more gastric acide than usual so it would not be enough for larger quantities of food, it would be able very small puddle at the bottom instead of filling a part of the stomach because the surface is so large meaning that it is overall less efficient and it would not be able to reach the food that is the middle because it is too large to reach them with the contractions. Basically, the size made it extremely inefficient at digesting meaning that he needed to eat more and more to keep up as only a small portion of what he ate converted successfully (meaning that the prussiana who tried to get the papers back had a very very big crap of partially digested food to search if that's really what happened). Again a reminder that it's generally not a very good idea to scale up things when it comes to biology
Yeah instead of just saying 2 words as reactions the entire video this dude actually elaborates on stuff and really seems to enjoy the jokes and the information.
“Tarrare, the hungriest man in history. I don’t know what to expect it could be a lot of things” usually with Sam O’Nella you’d be right, funnily enough it’s exactly as it sounds, dude who can’t stop eating
@Timothy Clark it seemed that he couldn't properly digest it I mean, the evidence became clear when the box came back out in good condition since it's not supposed to do that There could also be there possibility that his brain wasn't giving the brain responses to say that he's full or that he ate too much Just... Yikes
There's no solid evidence of him devouring the baby, not even the skeleton. So for all we know, the hospital staffs might've staged the whole thing to get him out of there.
Throwaway Account I mean he did attempt to eat bodies and showing no sympathy to small animals, mutalitating them before consuming them so him eating a baby is not too far off
@@user-golos even if he didn't eat the baby, if there's a baby who has gone missing in your hospital and you also have someone in the hospital who is known for eating anything he can get his hands on, you're probably going to connect the dots even if it's not true
They probably had different conditions, but with similar symptoms. Domery had no outward signs of ill health, people often described him as handsome even, he just sweated a lot and was perpetually hungry. None of the chronic diarrhea and physical deformities Tarrare had to deal with. He also had the distinction of not taking A Modest Proposal to heart. He once attempted to eat a leg that had been shot clean off by cannonfire, but that’s as far as his cannibalistic tendencies went
his wikipedia page says that he was hot to the touch (ok, lightspeed metabolism, still perfectly believable) and that visible vapours emanated from him (no, wait, what?)
I figured Tarrare had one of those severe malabsorption disorders that left him constantly feeling starved, but almost unable to absorb nutrients from the food he ate. That and his malformed insides say a lot. PS, they often also cause the sufferer to smell pretty badly, which is in no way the fault of the sufferer. :(
It most definitely seemed that he perhaps had a brain chemical imbalance, and his internal organs being deformed, leading to such a horrid life. Make one wonder if he were alive today, if modern medicine would actually be able to help him, or he would have forever been doomed to his fate.
tbh if Germany didn’t attack the USSR and if they didn’t declare war on USA and if they didn’t get Mussolini and japan as their allies they really could’ve won the whole Europe with the soviets (aka defeating the British) colonizing Africa after that getting oil selling it to USA get their army prepared and then invade the USSR so they’ll make a secret alliance with the USA cause they’re trading right? Right and USA, Germany could declare war on the USSR cause they both hate communism and then boom they won the war
@@somesabatonfan180 Why would America buy oil from a person they were at war with (Thanks to Japan) when Germany already had a fuel shortage, and American was using it's own oil and did not have a fuel shortage? Anyways, it is worth a shot at watching.
@@somesabatonfan180 it's just pure fantasy at that point. Nazi's whole goal was invading soviet and eliminate "evil commies and get living place for germans to live in" and america was the most oil producing country untill 50s. Middle eastern oil was used for royal navy's fuel. 2nd america will never join the nazi because first, japan would inevitably attack usa reason is that us wss embargoing japan hard and japan had 2 options one is attacking soviet and getting not that much resources and have to use shit ton of effort for that. Option 2 was attack S.E asia when their colonial masters are busy fighting germans,fortify those islands and defend them hard so allies will bleed a lot so make them ask for peace. This is the reasons why japan attacked pearl harbor. Soviet was the only nation gave japan lifethreat before they bomb pearl harbor. There are some things you can't change. Nazi's attacking Soviet and Japan attacking US unless you remove young officers' coup attempt of 1936(due to this,japan became virtually millitary dictatorship. And generals were eager to prove themselves. Parliament lost power) if you change those, then they are not people you're talking about. They're just your fantasy.
I'm going to guess that he had an inefficient digestive tract. Getting nearly no actual nutrition I'm sure his "fullness" was turned off so he could get enough to survive. The horrific part is, if that theory holds water, most things would pass through him partially digested, which explains why nothing he ate really damaged him. Also, it means that his organs shifted as a child and his nmfatigue and odor were likely due to his organs being unable to function.
Terrara thought the information was important so he at first kept his mouth shut. But when the hunger became painful he talked. But because the general was disappointed in the fact he thought this information was important but wasn't. So he did the mock execution as a poetic punishment.
Count Dankula’s video on him was quite a bit more in depth. Like how he almost immediately responded to the Prussian guards in French, or how there wasn’t any actual evidence of him eating a baby.
To be fair though, correlation may not equate to causation, but his propensity to attempt consuming human cadavers would certainly allow the perception that he might be consciously able to consume an infant. Considering his attitudes of killing and consuming animals, no less to the manner by which he does it, it wouldn't be a stretch of one's imagination.
I think I remember reading somewhere that when he ultimately died due to a bowel blockage (I know... big surprise) his internal organ proportions were way off. His stomach was took up an absurd amount of space in his abdomen, so I guess his intestines we smaller than the normal person. I believe that could be the cause for him developing such a big appetite. If his intestines were shorter than a normal person then he would have as much time to absorb nutrition from his waste as it passed through him. He may have unintentionally stretched his stomach purely for the necessity to survive. The short/loose intestines could also explain the ability to pass a box through him with out any complications.
If you’re interested in a more detailed version, one that talks about the prussian imprisonment, check out Simple History’s video on Tarrarre I love Sam but these guys cover these kinds of subjects better and more thoroughly
Mr. Terry: That could mean a lot of things, so I hope this video is good. The video: Tarrare often left his room to find patients undergoing bloodletting so that he could take all their life juice for himself. Mr. Terry: ...
For him not to have put on weight, he also probably had to have not actually been absorbing much in the way of nutrients from food, right? Which may also partly explain why he could throw so much down his throat - his body was crying out for nutrients, and if you can't absorb *efficiently* you much instead increase the opportunities to absorb.
Hi Mr Terry, Im a new sub and i just have two questions for you 1) what is your favourite historical event and/or time period 2) what grades do you teach Sincerely, Shaunderford
I saw another video about Tarrare a while ago which highlighted the fact that he nearly always had horrific foul smelling diarrhea. I'd assume some kind of digestion problem meant he really didn't take up much nutrients from whatever he ate much like you speculated.
One other thing that Sam surprisingly didn't mention was that Tarrare was given a fork to swallow and supposedly it was never found, passed or otherwise.
I’m so glad you’re watching Sam O’ Nella! I found him before you, and you’re both now my favorite history channels! I love that you’re now watching his videos, so I get a two in one!
Primarily what stops us from eating too much is just psychological, which explains why most of us eat way too much. You can also see that some (severe) dementia patients will be constantly hungry just simply because they can't remember that they ate a huge meal 10 minutes ago.
Being someone with hyperthyroidism I think tarrare had a severe version of mine, the feeling you get when you forget to take your medications will literally force you to eat anything you see
To answer your questions at 10:00, the message was asking the French colonel to confirm that he did indeed receive the message, proving the Tarrare method worked. And they gave him a mock execution because the Prussian CO was so disgusted with Tarrare that he actually saw him as less than human, not worthy of an execution, so faked the execution to a certain point to scare him
So not only did Tarrare get genetically unlucky, he got historically screwed being born 10 years before a famine. I'm surprised that didn't come up in Sam's video
I work with disabled adults, and I do know from my experience that there are disabilities that include being unable to satiate hunger. There are ways to mitigate behaviors like Tarrare’s, but it isn’t easy. And from what I understand there is no cure.
Imagine being a 14-month old infant in a French military hospital in the late 1800s and some spy with a big mouth comes into your room and eats you because he hungy.
I skipped 10 seconds ahead while Terry was talking about the French famines and what I heard was “Now I know the actual famines begin when the famines started…”
I don't remember the name of it, but there actually -is- a specific medical condition in which the brain and stomach cannot communicate, and you -never- feel full. It's essentially 'i'm always hungry always and never feel not hungry: the syndrome" and... as far as I can tell, it's incredibly awful. People have to limit their portions, they require constant aid to make sure they don't overeat, to stop them from eating when they see food, etc... It's apparently a -super- awful thing, if incredibly, unbelievably rare.
The point of attempting to smuggle the fake note was to test if it was feasible. They wanted to test if messages could be passed that way secretly without actually giving him sensitive information.
Unfortunately for tarrare, even hormonal or neurological issues don’t explain his anatomical differences. His physiology was only barely human. His gullet was a foot in diameter, his stomach filled almost the entirety of his body cavity. He was a physiological nightmare made flesh and to this day we’ve never seen anything like him again...and I hope we never do again.
quarter of a cow is after butchery around 80-120 Kg, from the time Tarrare was born animals had more fatt wich wasnt eaten and used in other products like beaty stuff, so a quarter of a cow was around 40-60 Kg of pure meat at that time era
There are people that can't process food. They get so little nutrition out of food that they have to eat near constantly to survive. Last time I heard about somebody with that condition, it was a guy in the UK I think, and he had a card from the government that allowed him to go into pretty much any food place and get free food.

Or Austin McConnell
you should react to overly sarcastic productions
For him not to have put on weight, he also probably had to have not actually been absorbing much in the way of nutrients from food, right? Which may also partly explain why he could throw so much down his throat - his body was crying out for nutrients, and if you can't absorb *efficiently* you much instead increase the opportunities to absorb.
Hi Mr Terry,
Im a new sub and i just have two questions for you
1) what is your favourite historical event and/or time period
2) what grades do you teach
Sincerely, Shaunderford
I'm not gonna comment something you should react to, just wanna thank you that you did this one 😂😂
“Never heard of it me neither who was in it fuckin everybody” best quote ever
Tarrare was quite the victim of hunger. Hunger is a beast that just can't be tamed.
This guy is such a man of honor "I'm just letting him the ad support" bro how are you this pure
Please have a look at Historia Civilis. His series on Rome is amazing. I think you would enjoy it :)
“Holy metabolism Batman”
I saw another video about Tarrare a while ago which highlighted the fact that he nearly always had horrific foul smelling diarrhea. I'd assume some kind of digestion problem meant he really didn't take up much nutrients from whatever he ate much like you speculated.
One other thing that Sam surprisingly didn't mention was that Tarrare was given a fork to swallow and supposedly it was never found, passed or otherwise.
I’m so glad you’re watching Sam O’ Nella! I found him before you, and you’re both now my favorite history channels! I love that you’re now watching his videos, so I get a two in one!
"That's just kinda what they assume somebody that would need to eat alot would, would have, here."
No. . .they are not assuming.
Primarily what stops us from eating too much is just psychological, which explains why most of us eat way too much. You can also see that some (severe) dementia patients will be constantly hungry just simply because they can't remember that they ate a huge meal 10 minutes ago.
Being someone with hyperthyroidism I think tarrare had a severe version of mine, the feeling you get when you forget to take your medications will literally force you to eat anything you see
*The first teacher that doesn’t pause the video by pressing the pause button on the bottom left*
i've watched this entire video and i still feel like he's bullshitting me lol
This actually happened
Somehow
To answer your questions at 10:00, the message was asking the French colonel to confirm that he did indeed receive the message, proving the Tarrare method worked. And they gave him a mock execution because the Prussian CO was so disgusted with Tarrare that he actually saw him as less than human, not worthy of an execution, so faked the execution to a certain point to scare him
1:41 Understatement of the century.
My man doesn't know what's coming. 😨
When they arrested him, he could have just eat them... what a fool...
"He was described as having an unusually large mouth"-Wikipedia
“How can a human pass a box”
Painfully. Very painfully.
So not only did Tarrare get genetically unlucky, he got historically screwed being born 10 years before a famine. I'm surprised that didn't come up in Sam's video
Girls be jealous of his metabolism
Hoomans in general
@@LoopZoopler agreed
I work with disabled adults, and I do know from my experience that there are disabilities that include being unable to satiate hunger. There are ways to mitigate behaviors like Tarrare’s, but it isn’t easy. And from what I understand there is no cure.
i respect how he didnt just play the video and sit there, he put input, and reactions
but some people hate it
I’m just in awe of the shelves of NES, Sega, and SNES games in the background. He’s a man of culture.
Huh, when i just exit full screen my next video was "tarrare, the hungriest man in history" what a coincidence. I think not!
it was the opposite to me, I just came from the original video
Please please react to Potential History:Germany could not win WW2

Would you like a trade agreement with England?
@@suwinkhamchaiwong8382 Shame the Prussian Empire fell.
Imagine being a 14-month old infant in a French military hospital in the late 1800s and some spy with a big mouth comes into your room and eats you because he hungy.
Not hungry actively starving
the only teacher in history to move the mouse when the videos playing so the title and pause button don't show up
This might be my favorite reaction of yours, just because you were so entertained
Do more Sam. He has a bunch of great videos.
I skipped 10 seconds ahead while Terry was talking about the French famines and what I heard was “Now I know the actual famines begin when the famines started…”
4:59 sounds like he would win in a duel
I wish this man was my teacher in high school,
I’m going into high school next semester! I will pray to the gods that somehow he is my teacher!
@ Spawn Of Stoke how’s that going for you?
I don't remember the name of it, but there actually -is- a specific medical condition in which the brain and stomach cannot communicate, and you -never- feel full. It's essentially 'i'm always hungry always and never feel not hungry: the syndrome" and... as far as I can tell, it's incredibly awful. People have to limit their portions, they require constant aid to make sure they don't overeat, to stop them from eating when they see food, etc... It's apparently a -super- awful thing, if incredibly, unbelievably rare.
The point of attempting to smuggle the fake note was to test if it was feasible.
They wanted to test if messages could be passed that way secretly without actually giving him sensitive information.
I think watching Sam O’Nella brought me here, I don’t usually watch reaction videos
I mean I’ll watch this
It’s good quality
"Holy metabolism" 😂😂 nice one 😄
Unfortunately for tarrare, even hormonal or neurological issues don’t explain his anatomical differences. His physiology was only barely human. His gullet was a foot in diameter, his stomach filled almost the entirety of his body cavity. He was a physiological nightmare made flesh and to this day we’ve never seen anything like him again...and I hope we never do again.
quarter of a cow is after butchery around 80-120 Kg, from the time Tarrare was born animals had more fatt wich wasnt eaten and used in other products like beaty stuff, so a quarter of a cow was around 40-60 Kg of pure meat at that time era
Thats meaty
Doctor: Tarrare? Wheres the child?
Tarrare: *gone, reduced to atoms.*
If you can, please react to "Entire history of the Soviet Union, arranged to the melody of tetris."
YES PLEASE
There are people that can't process food. They get so little nutrition out of food that they have to eat near constantly to survive. Last time I heard about somebody with that condition, it was a guy in the UK I think, and he had a card from the government that allowed him to go into pretty much any food place and get free food.
I love and respect how you let the advert in the video go to support him, good shit man!
2:19 then pause instantly
