I've talked to a Muslim on Discord. They have to get up in the middle of the night to binge eat and drink. During the day, they're not even allowed water. What is the fucking point?

A lot of religions have stuff like that, stuff that's intentionally difficult/inconvenient as a show of commitment.  Fasting, days where you can't work, days where you can't eat certain things, etc.

Obviously, since people are ultimately calling the shots, people can uncall those shots as well.  Need to drink some water?  Then drink some water.  No one's going to arrest you for that (I hope)

Slavish obedience to some bizarre set of rules lacking justification doesn't really benefit the person or society at large.

I knew a guy who told me that they could at least drink water. Not drinking water all day is really bad for one's body.

Particularly in a desert.

Some can't even swallow their own saliva. So, it's weird.

Once, I was directed to harvest and prepare fresh eggs like a rustic ruralite (what I presume they call themselves).  It was a quite unusual experience.

No pan?  Microwave??  Nuke it??!

Time(s) change according to the cities in/and geographical regions. For example in Istanbul, they will get up around at 5 in the morning to eat today. That means they'll be fasting for 14 hours a day. They break it around 19:00. The fasting and breaking times move with minutes in a day too. As the days pass they break it a bit later, I guess. No,they can't drink water. People who take regular medicine, old people, kids...etc. are not supposed to fast. If you are not healthy and fit, you are not supposed to fast at all. 

It also makes a lot of difference in which season it is, Ramadan moves in the year too. If it is winter, obviously it is much better because days are shorter.

I've tried it once. Just the fasting. It wasn't difficult, because I was 19 years old. If they drank water, it would be exactly like the fasting some fitness people do today. It's pretty much like it. I've joined a lot of breaking feast in my life though. NOW that. The food served in those feasts is fucking delicious. A lot of people invite non fasting people/family to them.

In every Ramadan, there are all kinds of shenaningans going on according to the place you live. There are places where all the restaurants/bars/pubs are closed, in some you can't even eat/drink water/smoke in the street walking. Or like the place I live, you can go on doing everything.

That's a common way to eat salmon without the nuking part, lol.

There are only 4 ways to prepare fish:

* baked
* grilled
* pan-fried
* breaded and fried

Microwave is a no-no.  Imagine being a multi-millionaire and having the wealth to eat like a king every day and just nuking garbage like a frat pledge.

Microwave fish is nasty. Where I used to work, there were signs on the microwave ovens- "Do not cook fish in here!". That would just stink the place up.

Well, I don't use microwave, I've never had one. I hate that thing. Hence the "without the nuking part" in my post.

I just mean fish can be eaten raw, it is pretty delicious, and it's eaten by tons of people every day around the globe. So, no. there aren't just 4 ways to eat fish. It's also smoked, cooked on salt...etc.

the best way to eat fish is to give it to somebody who likes it--Which leaves me out.  Or fish-and-chips with loads of tartar sauce.
