You can still die, just not from hunger/thirst.

And you have to hide it, or else governments around the world are gonna lock you to a blacksite and experiment on you. (I mean, you are essentially a weird mutant / supernatual being, governments be paranoid)

    I doubt anyone except my partner would notice, so I don’t need to live in fear of being found out. Besides, I’d probably still eat anyway because food is awesome.

    I think we just cut the food budget in a third so… that’s nice. Undetected? What are they going to do, calculate how much a single household should eat, then drag the three of us away when we aren’t eating the right amount?

    Oh they might now. They’re horrible beings. Guess I’ll eat some when out to put on a show.

    Why would I want to hide it? I’m turning myself in and letting them do their best to figure out what happened to me, on the condition that I’m paid fairly for my time (just as with any other human trial). If they can figure out how to replicate it, it would be incredibly useful.

    I think any scientists or government organizations would be much happier experimenting on a consenting and cooperative subject than a kidnapped and imprisoned one.

    Tbh I managed to almost forget to eat pretty much all of last week so my habits probably wouldn’t change much, I’m guessing I can still eat just for the sake of eating right? So I could just eat out every now and again and no one would notice

    That’s not really something that’s that noticeable tbh, so… just do stuff as normal, but without food and water

    Easy: I eat and drink (a little) even though I don’t need to.

    If I was alone, get satellite internet and set up a solar powered remote working squat in some remote desert outpost. Far from the impending water wars.

    Since I have family I’ll just uh probably still drink. My kid’s a handful.

    Do I become unhealthy if I do eat and drink anyway? Otherwise, I’ll just eat and drink at social occasions

    I live alone, so I’ll get away with it pretty easily. Whenever I eat a meal with others, I’ll just eat/drink a small amount.
