Refers to making high risk but high reward decisions.
Comes from Evbo’s Minecraft YT series “Parkour Civilization” where noobs in the civilization are forced to choose between making an easy jump for raw chicken or a more difficult jump for raw beef (which fills your hunger bar more) instead.
“Why is he jumping for the beef?”
- Parkour noob while watching another parkour noob fall into the void after missing the beef jump.
