    • davidrools, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3I think the name "cracked.com" came from the fact that all their friggin articles are cracked into two pages...or maybe its the drugs they're on

    people give other people so much ***** for being addicted to drugs, tobacco, alcohol, etc. while virtually everyone is addicted to SOMETHING. it doesnt have to be something "bad" for you.

    • starmanfalls, on 05/01/2008, -1/+0NO NO No water and weed. For that dry mouth thingy
  • Schreck1, on 05/01/2008, -5/+0You can die from eating healthy? I don't think so. I really want to know hwere this info came from
    • Sornos, on 05/01/2008, -1/+2Did you read the description? They say that the views of "Healthy" vary. So some guy may think healthy means only beans.
    • Dmurphyman, on 05/01/2008, -0/+3If you actually read it you would of noticed :
      "See, the orthorexia nervosa sufferer's fanatical desire to consume the correct foods comes with the problem that their idea of what "correct" means is entirely subjective and often nutritionally unsound. Eating 10 cans of pinto beans a day sounds healthier than eating ten Big Macs, but both diets leave out important nutrients and will reward you with DEFCON 5 flatulence. And at the end of the day, your body just needs fat. A diet with zero fat can kill you just as effectively as too much, though most of us are a very long way away from experiencing that for ourselves."
      Although admittedly the sub title for it was perhaps a little miss leading, especially if your just skimming through the entire article.
      • tito184, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1"Eating 10 cans of pinto beans a day sounds healthier than eating ten Big Macs, but both diets leave out important nutrients and will reward you with DEFCON 5 flatulence."
        Best line of the day.
    • zebraz, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1You are going to die period.
      There is no escaping it.
      You are going to die.
      Everyone dies.
      Its part of life.
      You die

  • computerusr, on 05/01/2008, -5/+1They name these items like they're bad.
    • computerusr, on 05/01/2008, -6/+1How dare you fags digg me down.
    • MacParrot, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1STFU. You fail at both addiction and life
  • jackspade, on 05/01/2008, -1/+7The human brain is a mysterious lump of fat,
    • darklights, on 05/01/2008, -1/+0Sure, for you it is.
    • MrESaulved, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1...that to prove its muscle thinks to itself, "I am where it's at."
    • zebraz, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1You are a mysterious lump of fat.

  • 4nikate, on 05/01/2008, -1/+3Uhm.. Defcon 5 is peacetime..
  • mattwalton56, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9"...lurk the streets at night, preying on junk like some sort of hobo vampire."

    Damn, cracked it amazing.
  • Samsong, on 05/01/2008, -0/+12Porn
  • ShempRider, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1I didn't know any of these, but the complete list of addictions is probably pretty damned big.
  • aantix, on 05/01/2008, -1/+8They forgot.... nasal spray.

    Seriously, when the box says don't use it more than three days, they mean it. Otherwise when you try to go off of it your nose will close up solid like a cement block. Coming off of the stuff was the worst experience of my life. Can't breath, no sleep, anxiety.

    Read these horror stories.

  • cgrado, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Hmm.... eating a perfect diet and can't stop exercising... sounds like two things my sister did before she went into the hospital for a month then into the crazy person place for 5 more. Interesting article if you didn't already know some of that, but taken way too light in some cases. And NIMH probably has the full list of addictions. I think they were the ones trying to get video game addiction added.
  • sq2shooter, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4I've seen the results of a water "addiction". Years ago I spent a lot of time in an ER for my job. They had a patient who would show up a handful of times a year due to her water overdosing. She would drink absurd amounts of water every day, then would occasionally go on a bender for a few days. If I remember correctly, she would up her intake to one of those large bottles that you find on a company water dispenser. She would drink at least one a day, and in a few days, would basically o.d. on water and come into the emergency room suffering from hyponatremia. She was more than happy to talk about her condition to whoever was willing to listen. I would classify it as more of an obsessive compulsive disorder than an addiction though.
    • zebraz, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1I have the same problem only with beer.
  • russbent, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Now I'm afraid of hugging my cat and catching Toxoplasmosis.
    Thanks, internet. Really, you did me a solid.
  • charlietuna, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Yes, I am addicted to blue eyed kittens. So I guess that step one of my twelve step kitten addiction program.
  • jamessavik, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1I think that the author is being rather cavilier about what he is calling an addiction. The stuff that he is calling "addictions" are various forms of OCD. Whle addiction has compulsive components, it's not the same disorder.
  • melanator, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1I have to say that i'm a huge animal lover and I do talk to them lol... my cat and I have conversations and everyone makes fun of me!
  • colasrtney, on 05/01/2008, -4/+2Have you ever dicked water for a suck?
  • jeff303, on 05/01/2008, -2/+1#4 is stupid. If you eat only beans of course you'll die, but that's not "eating right". The title of this one should have been "your own ideas."
    • iamdan1, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1It wasn't the best example, but consider eating healthy as if a person won't eat anything that has any fat or salt or anything bad. Like the article says, you can die from not enough fat, it is like anorexia.
    • blemm, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Well, that's kind of the point. If you were addicted to actually eating healthy you--you know what, forget it. Just...forget it.
  • init2null, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0I should probably worry about my sanity, given that my mother could fit two of these and my sister could fit four!
  • JoeyNukes, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Haha, the personal interjections are the best. "who apparently wish to live cramped and knee-deep in their own *****" - Greatest sentence, ever?
  • diggboy101, on 05/01/2008, -2/+1i love how this is on CRACKED .com
  • hellokerryberry, on 05/01/2008, -0/+10Seriously Cracked, it's 6 items. You can't fit that on one page?
  • trav12221, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Read: You can become addicted to anything
  • Skooma714, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1"Gsteriods"

    Is that in the new Ubuntu?
  • Grolsch, on 05/01/2008, -1/+0What else they gonna find addicting now? I swear they have nothing to come up with already... reminds me of Simpsons episode: "Is Your Baby a Suckaholic?"
  • chaos7, on 05/01/2008, -1/+1THE INTERNET
  • Innochka, on 05/01/2008, -2/+0OMG, where's my chapstick... My lips hurt so bad
  • wushu18t, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1refined sugar?! seriously, of the substances i've done...that nag for a soda or candy bar or fruit juice happens many times a day. i've only felt that way with smoking and i quit that quickly, but sugar...it's everywhere! *****, i'm thinking of something sweet to NOM NOM on right now.
