Interesting idea, but what's the criteria? Taste regardless of cost?
Value for money? Bit subjective of course.
Consistency? Franchises can be terrible at consistency.
Or just whichever each user who replies think or feels is best or worst overall? Maybe even if you haven't thought too much about each of the different aspects.
Is there even a proper definition of fast food? There's places that many might not think of as "traditional fast food" but is nevertheless pretty fast anyway; Panera's and Schlotzky's comes to mind. Having a drive-through line wouldn't necessarily qualify either; don't know if I've ever seen a Domino's with a drive-through line. Pizza Hut locations may or may not have one.
Maybe let's expand it to any chain restaurant that doesn't have wait staff - order and pickup at the counter, may or may not have a drive-through line.

Realistically, for most folks?
10,000 calories seems like it's way too much, and not reasonable for most. For some? Sure.
It's not clear if this is a one time, occasional, or even once a week for a stuffing, or if this is intended be every day. So which is it?
Is this anything like those "cheat day" videos I see on YouTube sometimes? Though most authors/creators who do this, tend to be extremely fit and seem to almost live at the gym. But I've sometimes seen them do 10K or even 15K calories before, but certainly not every day.
If every day back to back, I'm convinced is impossible and would probably make you sick and unwell.
There are those competitive eaters you hear about, but they trained up to it. They also don't eat like that every day and will generally prepare for a couple or few days before the moment of truth.
Personally, I have had 4,000 calorie days several days in a row before, think 5 days. Doing that 2 days in a row is probably not that hard unless you're still quite small and very early on in your gaining journey.
I don't think I could do 10,000 calories in a single day, I don't think. There was one time I did 6,000 calories, but that involved drinking an entire quart of heavy cream, and I didn't feel that great the following day. Granted, that was about 40-45 lbs ago, but still.
True every day life is unlikely to be feasible, since folks have things like jobs to go to.
Maybe it'd be easier to do a 10K calorie day no more than once or twice a month, or at most, once a week.
The OP also mentions something about tracking progress, which suggests this isn't a one off thing.
So to recap, a one-time thing or every day?

If I understand your question, it's about whether you'll see the count increment over the bell icon over the top of the page, and that list of events when you click on it.
If that's the case, then I'm sorry, but presently there's no way to disable this.
If you're asking about desktop notifications via the browser, FF doesn't do or use this.
If you're asking about whether you receive e-mails upon certain events, there's only three events where you can get e-mails, and the first two are disabled by default:
1) When someone sends you a PM. However, the e-mail will only contain the screen name of the user who sent it - you would still have to login to the web site to read it.
2) When someone replies to a post or thread you wrote. However, it only appears to trigger on the first reply (if you wrote the thread), or on the first post immediately after a post you wrote in reply to a thread.
3) If you request a password reset. These e-mails can't be disabled, but in theory these shouldn't happen that often to begin with - only if you forget the password to your user account.

Munchies:
I remember he had to have an MRI for an unrelated health issue and barely fit into the tube. Scared the shit out of him. He said that he never wants to be too fat for healthcare.
Personally, I think that's a really good thing to keep in mind. Once you reach a certain side, the medical world isn't built with you in mind. I don't think a lot of feedists think about that.
You're exactly right.
A few years ago, I remember hearing about a horrifying, relevant situation, which I believe took place around Cleveland, OH.
I would guess some users might get a thrill out of this story, but that is absolutely not the intent of it. If anything, a cautionary tale.
So, there was this woman,who weighed something like 650, 700+ lbs. She really needed an MRI scan. But.. problem!
None of the machines at the hospital were large enough to accommodate her.
The Cleveland Zoo had an MRI machine in the veterinarian's office that would be big enough. But, it wasn't licensed and certified for use on humans, and maybe this really shows ignorance, but I'm pretty sure that licensing process can't be completed in 1 day or a few hours as a rush job, nor do I know what's involved in the licensing process.
I have no idea what the outcome of that was, but even without knowing this, this is already a severe complication and a scary situation.
I wish I could find this chart again, but 600+ lbs does solidly place you well above 0.5% on the distribution curve (this means 99.5% of individuals weigh less/have a lower BMI than you do).
Of course, it's all about girth (and the girth of the machine) and no, I have no idea what her girth was at the widest point.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if the hospital administrators simply didn't anticipate this situation would ever arise. I don't know how old the hospital is, when the MRI machine was procured, or what was going through the minds of the administrators, or what doctors said while being consulted, prior to procurement.

FatScorpion:
In which country, after the USA, are there the most people from the community?
I'm making an educated guess, simply from observations and sheer population numbers, but that would appear to be the UK.
However, I only really spent meaningful time on English feederism communities, so I can't be absolutely certain.
It would also be why other countries like Australia and Canada seem to rank high. As for Germany, I don't know, though knowledge of English seems to be high there.
I once did come across a French feederism message board. I don't know how active it was, but it was there. But it seemed less active since for the most part, it would be France, Montreal/Quebec, maybe some from New Orleans/Louisiana, maybe a few other small territories where French is the primary language, and a small scattering of those elsewhere who happen to know French.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Spanish feederism web site out there somewhere (Central and South America after all), but I don't happen to know of any.
Solid statistics about feederism are quite hard to come by.

She needs to heal her stomach ulcers before she worries about gaining weight.
Also, what is IBD?
If I had to guess based on the context,
Irritable

Disclaimer: I haven't actually seen it, but I've heard enough about it.
I know enough to know it would be distasteful and revolting. I also curse the day it was ever released, and it's an enormous setback to ultimate acceptance, not that I expect full acceptance to ever really occur.
It's filled with misinformation and has likely caused damaging misconceptions.
It also implies that anyone into this is mentally ill, that immobility is the only goal (a concept that's extremely controversial even within feederism circles), and it's all about being an abusive bullying asshole under the guise of fake dominance.
I hope I'm not inadvertently stepping on other toes as well when I say this, as I don't really know a whole lot about BDSM and dom/sub dynamics either, and if anyone tries to start that with me, I'm telling that person to pound sand. But I do know enough to know it's not as clear cut as that. That being a dom isn't a license to be abusive, nor does it grant the right to do anything. If anything, the dom has to earn the devotion of the sub, and the sub has to ultimately be convinced and believe the dom is worthwhile to follow. A difficult process that does NOT happen quickly, and when boundaries and limits are established, they are also ultimately respected.
It's my hope this film will fall by the wayside, long forgotten, much like the terrible music of the past that no one, or virtually no one remembers fondly. Or at the very least, will just be a very bad memory.

Closest for me would be #2, maybe with a dash of #3. I do set small goals but so far, none of them have seemed like enough. But, I'm not sure where I'd like to stop.
I do have some hard limits, I know I will not cross, but this can't be represented by any numbers, since I wouldn't know until I know. If I'm not able to function independently, that's too big. And I don't want to gain so fast I develop very serious problems.
I don't think #5 really describes me. It's not a singular focus, though I like the idea of being able to eat more in a single sitting. I still can't quite eat a large Pizza Hut pizza in one sitting, so sometimes I feel like I'm still playing in the rookie leagues, so to speak.
