    Obesity is responsible for many dying much earlier than the normal life span. Though many here want to deny it. If you care about a person who is obese you wouldn't tell them you're fine and no need to lose weight. BUT if you encounter obese people you should never say anything about their appearance. And no smirks or dirty looks either. You have no idea what is going on in their life that got them to this point. The cruelest thing is supporting an obese person by telling them it's just fine. It's no different then telling an obviously anorexic person that they look great and aren't too skinny

      No weight limit under the seat, though.

      There is a bar or some device that is there to prevent your stuff from sliding forwards. I've not been crawling on the airplane floors enough to see any weight rating on it but I would bet money on it being crash tested and rated according to whatever the overhead compartments are.

        It's not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I'm on the internet and you read it

        It’s both, weight starts to become a bigger deal when you factor in that you have to keep it in the air for thousands of km. If airlines could charge people by weight they would in a heartbeat

            if you made a shitty hand drawing, even in the old mspaint, the thing would be funnier.

            do you think wojack and rage comics were popular for their artistic craftsmanship? or because they seemed relatable as they were apparently made with little skill or effort?

              or just drive instead, and bring as much luggage as you want. without paying extra. on your own schedule. and not inhaling 50-100 people and their kids' disgusting plague germs.

                They are, because they are allowed to bring less total weight onto the plane. (71kg vs 124kg)

                how is that a punishment? both people can bring the same amount of stuff. if you lose a leg they don't sudently reward you with more luggage.

                it's you+luggage,

                are you counting the value of your tickets by how much mass they let you move in total? that would only be worth it if you're trafficking humans for meat

                  Those comics were much more difficult to draw than you imagine. Try it -- it isn't easy. Those memes had their own aesthetics. They weren't just poorely drawn.

                  if you made a shitty hand drawing, even in the old mspaint, the thing would be funnier.

                  Bad picture is a bad picture. It might be intentionally bad because of some context, but you can't make something funnier just by decreasing the quality of illustration.

                  I don't see how you can make OP's message funnier by worse illustation.

                            Ok but hear me out - since when is obesity desirable? I'm all for body shaming of people decide to reduce their weight as a result.

                              Then how do you explain the 8kg weight limit for carry on? Who is endagered by 9kg luggage? And it's not even handled by the staff.

                              honestly I think they also just want an excuse to charge you extra, but the official reason is also safety, to prevent injury if a bag falls out of the overhead compartment during turbulence.

                                Well I agree with around half of what you've just said. Being obese isn't healthy and everyone who is obese should know that. When people use body positivity to justify the fact that they don't care about their health they are obviously wrong. What body positivity is about is that people have the right to make decisions over their own bodies and other people should respect that and be emphatetic. Bullying people isn't being empathetic. I, who normally doesn't like to use the body shaming arguement felt compelled to write my comment, because I felt that where this post came from also lacked said empathy.

                                  Poor gazillionaires (sobbing). Can we donate them? I can send them a few kg of shit. Or some grass, now it is a season for the grass.

                                          True, but I'm here for human conversations, not just me talking to chatgpt.

                                          Human interactions can be both good and bad, but its still human interactions.
