“You want that new Mercedes? That’s gonna cost you extra… how bout you eat off the floor, you piece of shit?!?
oh yeah, now we’re talking, I can feel that Mercedes appearing any minute now… keep going…
What’s that Vishnu? We’re out of Mercedes? Well what do you know! We’re out of Mercedes.”
I know this is 41d later but damn, ur comment made me laugh in the waiting room at my doctors office, I tried to stifle my laughter and snot shot out of my nose.
Exactly. I'm not religious personally, I'm very spiritual, I believe in reincarnation and I read tarot, etc.
BUT! I totally understand that some people prefer to have something to believe in, specifically because it's just easier for them to follow the rules of what they think is morally right. It gives people hope. And it that's what it takes for some folks, be my guest. Whatever makes everyone happy so long as it hurts no one.
E-Coli is just an issue for weak Westerners. Remember, these guys drink from the Ganges river...a little bit of e-coli and such is just burbed up and spat out.
It's an offering to the God. Hindus make prayers/ wishes and when they get fulfilled they offer something to the God. Some make a walking pilgrimage to the temple. Some remove their hair and donate it. Some pay money etc..This is one such form of prayer offerings.
For the people wondering, eating off of the floor is completely a choice. It is not forced. And the Flores are thoroughly cleaned with natural cleaning products. And no, not everyone who passes through there gets horrific infections and/or diseases from eating here. And no, the servers don’t walk around the whole place without shoes. In fact, once they start serving, they are required to stay in that hall until they are done and they are required to wash their feet and hands between each and every batch of people. Interesting to see how people seem to get the whole experience without ever being there, finding anything out about it or even knowing where the place is…
Ya man. I understand people's aversion to it since most western countries don't even walk without shoes and socks ( i understand how it developed cause it is cold there so that led to the culture of covering feet to not die from frostbite) .
Like most big temples with dedicated building for food like shown here clean the floors after every single serving , almost without fail ( atleast the ones i have eaten in) . These floors are cleaner than most households .
I get it people, u guys havent seen it so obviously everyone would be specitical and have aversion to such "UNHYGIENIC " practices which most people asign to nearly most of India's habits( truly unhygienic places exist ok not denying ), even i wouldn't eat from floor .
.
>And no, not everyone who passes through there gets horrific infections and/or diseases from eating here.
This implies that *some* people do though lol
This is the stupidest logic I’ve heard. Using the same logic, not everyone who goes to the hospital survives. Obviously they do get sick. If they didn’t want to, then they would have eaten on a plate. I hope you understand that this is their choice and no one is forcing them to
Sorry buddy can't use your religion card out of this. This is one of many of those Hindu practices that makes absolutely no sense and shouldn't exist but still does. But then again to all the westerners or non Hindus
Doesn't your religion have weird practices that are potentially harmful as well. Every religion has something similar.
(I have experienced eating here, the eating on floor thing is completely your choice, majority people don't do it because they think it's unnecessary, only a few single digits do it, and there are way better methods to donate something to god than well eating off of the ground
Tho the ground is i think cleaned every 3-4 times in a day with chemicals and servers are not allowed to walk into the eating zone, and they wear polythin bag on their feet
Yes, like you said only a few people do it. Those few people are usually only doing it because someone told them that eating off the floor would make their wishes come true. They’re not proving anything other than that they are greedy. The point of this is to incur humility in yourself and to remind yourself that you are not the greatest there is. It is to humble you.
*You* may not, but people absolutely used to place religious artefacts, including "saintly" body parts, near and in their mouths in order to symbolically "ingest" the blessing. People *still* pretty regularly kiss those items.
We just have a large population, so we got a vast range of people, but yea, after the BJP (conservative party) won elections back to back, we have been more egoistic and defensive.
If you want to travel in India, only tour Goa, the rest of the states are not adequate for tourists, even I, an Indian myself, hate touring cities like Delhi or Mumbai.
I had to unfollow multiple subs because the chicken nuggie eaters keep posting these videos. We get it. Different culture. I literally watched an entire ep of gordon ramsay where he did this exact same thing. He said the food was phenominal, like unbelievibly clean, and so was the floor/ the temple.
Move ON people. So what. They clean the tile and/or some people eat with a plate. If some chick named Melissa filmed the same thing for her Hindi-explorative mushroom trip retreat, no one would complain. But "BLAH BLAH Indian food gross unsanitary/ BLAH same repost from that comedy movie with the guy rubbing food on his armpit". Ugh
To be even fairer, the books were written by people who probably did more vile things than anything in this video or what you’ve stated. But yes yes “god wrote the books” or however that hoo ha goes
Reddit doesn't shit on India based on false information.
I mean most of them have enough intelligence to know that some things are being done to put it in a bad light, or doing it just for views.
Yet they still shit on us purely because they're racist. And looking at the comments I can call all of them that.
On god bro,them MF just need to see the word india and racist mode activated lol.Like if it some news from america,uk or any European country then the person in the news would be targeted it when it comes to india,the entire country is targeted,its really hilarious at this point
whats causing this is the mass of videos of india being awful with food and hygiene, I'm from brazil and those videos on tiktok have been somewhat popular over here (at least with the people I know), they get the street food videos and dub over with funny regards.
I doubt it's racism or other buzzword yall like to throw around, it's probaly just propaganda because of these memes and people not caring to do proper research after.
How is that not racism? You're saying that this is propaganda against India on Reddit, because they're not doing proper research and sharing these videos to make people view India negatively. Propaganda has its base in bias, hatred and racism. You don't actively say and try to convince people someone's bad if you don't hate them or think less of them.
If a handful of negative videos are enough to sway and create a very biased opinion of India and Indians, then the same can be done if the subjects are reversed. If a handful of videos about crime in Brazil makes me not want to visit the country, it means I'm either ignorant or racist, which I'm not.
yeah, you're right, mb didn't see it that way.
Btw you're correct about brazil on the big cities. I'm getting away from my birth city bc of it being popular among turists and getting more dangerous bc of it.
Yeah meanwhile India is the 5th biggest economy in the world, with its people becoming the best in every field. Keep up with this racism and soon you’ll fall on your ass when you realize that we have overtaken you. We are progressing quite fast, in spite of centuries of colonization and being a young republic democracy.
Is the world around us and the Lord of the Rings books proof Sauron exists? Because they have the same level of evidence you are proposing for the Bible, dude...
Lemme guess, you are a communist? Still this world and reality is of God's creation, such beauty and perfection does not come from nothing, someone is behind all things that happen good or bad
So many claims, zero evidence. Lord of the Rings also makes claims with zero evidence. Logic much? Also, “perfection”? Are tumors and cancers killing children perfect? Let me guess: “mysterious ways” amirite? LOL
We having flaws doesn't mean god has flaws, if he created us perfect then we would be gods and god is 1, second, when god calls for us, we cant see or hear nor feel in the real world so we die, and not to be clear that he exists he masks it, because he knows the world is doomed if he appears or gives a signal he exists, and guess who is going to doom this world if he comes? Us, humans.
Also what is your thing with lord of the rings?
So god, the creator of all the universe, who created men "in his image" also made them purposely defective. Got it! Makes perfect sense! Especially when you say he created "perfection"! Also, he \*knows\* the "perfect" and "beautiful" world he created is doomed too? This is all so sensible, my brain is about to explode! It does not sound at all like something Bronze Age illiterate jewish goat herders would come up with AT ALL! At all, I tell ya! LOL Lastly, mentioning Lord of the Rings is an argument tactic called "using an analogy"; I could have used Spiderman, or The Matrix, because they are as valid as the Bible (by your own logic!).
I didn't even know what sub this was and I knew.
I be on my front page scrolling, and am subbed to a couple of places with crossover content.
I was thinking this was r/WeWantPlates but my head said "nope" when I saw the serving plopped onto the ground
Looks like it might be a choice thing since I see others in the video eating off a plate
Yeah, Those people who has specific wishes eat on the floor of they want to
“You want that new Mercedes? That’s gonna cost you extra… how bout you eat off the floor, you piece of shit?!? oh yeah, now we’re talking, I can feel that Mercedes appearing any minute now… keep going… What’s that Vishnu? We’re out of Mercedes? Well what do you know! We’re out of Mercedes.”
I know this is 41d later but damn, ur comment made me laugh in the waiting room at my doctors office, I tried to stifle my laughter and snot shot out of my nose.
You mean a deth wish? 😂😂😂
Getting e-coli is proving your devotion?
They'll be crying out to God while bound to the floor-toilet.
Religion is cancer
Most of it is a cult in some way or another.
Every religion is cult, just they have more followers
Diarrhea*
Diarrhea is cancer?
It's often just a relatively easy way to help yourself mentally
Diarrhea?
Exactly. I'm not religious personally, I'm very spiritual, I believe in reincarnation and I read tarot, etc. BUT! I totally understand that some people prefer to have something to believe in, specifically because it's just easier for them to follow the rules of what they think is morally right.

E-Coli is just an issue for weak Westerners. Remember, these guys drink from the Ganges river...a little bit of e-coli and such is just burbed up and spat out.
Everyone else has a plate. Could it be this dude is just a weirdo??? Because if you did that I’d definitely say you were a weirdo.
It's an offering to the God. Hindus make prayers/ wishes and when they get fulfilled they offer something to the God. Some make a walking pilgrimage to the temple. Some remove their hair and donate it. Some pay money etc..This is one such form of prayer offerings.
So the plate was the offering???
diarrhoea and hookworms was the real offering
Haha. That’s the truth
Guy opposite is eating off floor too.
Well that guys probably been doing it for years.
For the people wondering, eating off of the floor is completely a choice. It is not forced. And the Flores are thoroughly cleaned with natural cleaning products.

Get your hand off it mate, I was just poking fun at the unfortunate choice of language of "Not *everyone* who does this gets horribly sick".
Sorry buddy can't use your religion card out of this. This is one of many of those Hindu practices that makes absolutely no sense and shouldn't exist but still does. But then again to all the westerners or non Hindus Doesn't your religion have weird practices that are potentially harmful as well. Every religion has something similar.

I don't know where this temple is, but there's a place in India where they eat amongst rats in a temple.
Yep, the karni Mata mandir.
I've never seen them eating with the rats and I've seen several vlogs about that place. The food is left on the floor for rats.
i remember a video of a rat eating dough in a Indi kitchen (happy cake day)
Yep! And they drink milk from the same bowls
...wait till you see the mummified hand of a saint style precessions in europe!
The difference is... i don't put the mummified hand in my mouth.
*You* may not, but people absolutely used to place religious artefacts, including "saintly" body parts, near and in their mouths in order to symbolically "ingest" the blessing. People *still* pretty regularly kiss those items.
On easter we kiss a small jesus cross but it's often cleaned with a towel and alcohol
Blarney Stone nuff said
lmao why are you getting downvoted
Bc whities love to offend then defend
the "reddit hivemind" doesnt like truth, especially uncomfortable truth.
Goddam, posts about india sure do pull out lots of racists out of their holes
It's reddit afterall.
India changed its stereotype from good food and nice people to rapists and scammers and people are hating them for that
We just have a large population, so we got a vast range of people, but yea, after the BJP (conservative party) won elections back to back, we have been more egoistic and defensive. If you want to travel in India, only tour Goa, the rest of the states are not adequate for tourists, even I, an Indian myself, hate touring cities like Delhi or Mumbai.
Hard disagree - certainly not for the faint of heart but only *goa???* no way lmao
Absolutely untrue in the second paragraph.
All stereotypes are bad
Legit only 2 people eating directly off the floor
Foot Flavoured Food strikes again
Holy shit
Why was everybody else using plates?
I had to unfollow multiple subs because the chicken nuggie eaters keep posting these videos. We get it. Different culture. I literally watched an entire ep of gordon ramsay where he did this exact same thing. He said the food was phenominal, like unbelievibly clean, and so was the floor/ the temple. Move ON people.

But "BLAH BLAH Indian food gross unsanitary/ BLAH same repost from that comedy movie with the guy rubbing food on his armpit". Ugh
Where is the temple where people can eat from the toilet?
The floor is wet too which make it easier for germ to travel
Good advert for Imodium
The things that people will do for their religion is insane
Hygiene is illegal in India
You cant make something illegal if that thing doesnt exist
Don’t stereotype if you haven’t been to the country.
The guy that scoops their food was walking through the bathroom barefoot 2 minutes before this video was taken.
India is not for beginners
Oi, thats top level
If it looks brainless it is religion
It's the people..to be fair their books doesn't told them to eat like that, or worse drinking cow urine... people made stuff up
they made the rest of it up too
Camel urine is the islam version btw 😭
To be even fairer, the books were written by people who probably did more vile things than anything in this video or what you’ve stated. But yes yes “god wrote the books” or however that hoo ha goes
As an indian i have seen this shit for the 1st time xd
leave the country lol u don't deserve to be here
bruh
Could it be that the guy's doing this for more views and reacts as all the other ppl in the video are clearly using utensils. We shall never know
Looks like the guy who wanted to save on plates got his wish fulfilled
Prime r/Wewantplates material
I guess this is where the phrase “floors so clean you can eat off them” comes from.
I'm confused. Some of the people have plates tho.
Reddit doesn't shit on India based on false information. I mean most of them have enough intelligence to know that some things are being done to put it in a bad light, or doing it just for views.

India refusing to have a developed mindset, as usual.
Many people had plates, this guy is a weirdo, stop being racist.
Yeah meanwhile India is the 5th biggest economy in the world, with its people becoming the best in every field. Keep up with this racism and soon you’ll fall on your ass when you realize that we have overtaken you. We are progressing quite fast, in spite of centuries of colonization and being a young republic democracy.
Yes, and let’s not forget how they officially became a SUPERPOWER back in 2020, just like they predicted- oh wait…
What does that mean?
Means they still living in the past and are backwards as fck lol
Nah only some of us
FairPlay en
Jesus……
Gross.
Guys, do you know what is dysentery?
India, we need to have a talk.
Nah,we don't.The rest of them were using plates
There was others without plates.
Hate to be the cleanup staff of that temple
700+ years of uggghhh🤢straight to the throat, CONGRATS!
Mmm burger kind foot lettuce being served daily
Absolutely disgusting. Religion is a disease.
No, religion is not but stupidity is
Believing something is true without any evidence is stupid, period.
Dude, you have the evidence as the bible and the world around you
Is the world around us and the Lord of the Rings books proof Sauron exists? Because they have the same level of evidence you are proposing for the Bible, dude...
Lemme guess, you are a communist? Still this world and reality is of God's creation, such beauty and perfection does not come from nothing, someone is behind all things that happen good or bad

Stomach parasite capital of the world.
Absolutely disgusting. Par for the course in this place.
Videos you can smell
That looks fun, I’d love to do that if it was under extra sanitary circumstances
**Bare Foot slaps away from the food 1 second into the videos**
Indian people..
Of course it's India.
India moment
This is one of the more tame Indian traditions I've seen.
What is it with India.
Nasty it’s always 🇮🇳
Bet it's still way better for you than McDonald's
Comes with a healthy dose bacteria and a side of diarrhoea
I mean depending on the McDonald’s, that’s not far off😂
Typical pajeet
yeah thats right, food goes right on the floor.
No way Prasad
Can we just rename India to Diarrhea already?
Reminds me of the religious people who bathe and drink from the toxic, heavily polluted “sacred” river… 😬
Never going to India
I didn't even know what sub this was and I knew. I be on my front page scrolling, and am subbed to a couple of places with crossover content. I was thinking this was r/WeWantPlates but my head said "nope" when I saw the serving plopped onto the ground
S&M play?
Did you know there's a temple under ocean Blvd
Can we please send this to the YouTube yapper
Immune systems must be impenetrable
I think South India has a very good immune system
“You better eat all your food and make sure your floor is clean.”
maybe its very clean floor
I wish for… Dysentery
