Social media is blowing up across the globe with a controversial weight loss fad called “the flu.” The flu was started by Twitch streamer ihatewholesomesunshine who explored the entire map of Minecraft without leaving his house once. The entire process took only 276 days and when he finally completed this epic achievement of human fortitude he celebrated for two days in Las Vegas on St. Patrick's Day.

It was there the flu was invented. After slamming a ton of Yeager bombs with a bunch of overworked business execs he promptly went upstairs and passed out. The next day he found out everything he ate and drank was instantly ejected from his body.

He coined this process “the flu” because everything he ate and drank flew out of his body. He also named it for the way fat flew off him! In one week he lost 10 pounds!!!

The flu has gone viral for elementary school kids, teachers, college kids, and that lazy coworker who was supposed to help you prepare for that really important meeting tomorrow.

According to general practitioner Dr. Buzzkill, the flu may be unhealthy and could even lead to death. However, pro flu college freshman Yu Oni Liv Wans thinks she would, “rather be dead than fat. Gross.”
