Something parallel, there is a Black Mirror episode 7.1 (Common People) where he pulls out his own teeth, tongue in a mousetrap, torture/harm his body, etc. to earn money on the Internet.

Edit/Add: I asked Claude to find that episode as I explained part of the storyline and is now asking me to seek help. Early Internet would now, definitely, be totally banned.

Edit2: Is this new, or am I stumbling on something new? I cannot reply to my replier below. I’m sure @stavros hasn’t blocked me. But, yes, we will always call him Roy. That is the only way we remember him.

I thought he maybe meant arm wrestling contest. I also cannot watch those without cringing. I'm always expecting a wrist to break or forearm to snap in the fashion of an open fracture. Then again, I cannot watch those contest also because it's f'ing boring seeing two people trying to outlever each other. We used to make fun of football as 22 men running and jumping after a ball. But football is downright intellectual compared to arm wrestling. Barton Fink should have considered himself happy having had to write a screenplay for an actual wrestling picture.

> that's where I spent most of my time before 4chan

I rest my case.
