Some people will do just about anything for viral fame, including causing themselves extreme bodily harm.

Recently, YouTuber and self-described idiot Baddy 3shoez, real name Mitch challenged himself to take the flaming cactus challenge. Yes, he lit a small cactus on fire with grain alcohol and proceeded to eat it. After eating the cactus, which he claims tasted like a kiwi, Mitch washed it down by drinking the world's most disgusting beer from his shoe.

After a GIF of the clip turned up in r/WTF on Reddit, Mitch hosted an AMA to answer the many people who asked him why he would do such a thing.
