    there's a lot to be known about me by knowing things about me

    I imagine that Google, Facebook, and other such companies would agree

    The fast food order thing gets me...

    I always order the same thing. If you have known me long enough but still can't get my order right without asking me, you haven't paid a single second of attention.

    Three things can be known about you.

    Exes? Okay.

    Favorite car bangers? Right.

    Fast food orders? Wut?

    I guess for the fast food orders there could be some insights with enough volume and associated data (time, frequency, location.)

    If someone suddenly started ordering loads or boycotted that one that decided homophobia was the way to go or something you could sense political leaning.

    You could get a sense of allergies or vegetarianism.

    You may figure out payday

    Could maybe get a feel for menstrual cycles

    Could figure out someone's route home

    Family size maybe.

    Probably more idk.

    In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, companies would call homes to ask what was in their fridge, cupboard, etc.

    Fully agree.

    Exes: often successful, sometimes overbearing, emotionally unstable, pretty smart

    Music: highly political, between sarcastic, cynical and revolutionary, all over the place in styles, mostly fast paced, different languages

    Now pass your judgement if you like. :)

    I feel like that is potentially the least efficient method of getting to know someone

  • Could I really know what you believe in and what flavour of upright (or immoral, but I believe people were made "good" so why expect differently?) you are by having a passing knowledge of your exes? I guess if I asked your exes everything about you, maybe, but that assumes they're unbiased sources of information and, c'mon, lol. Or what your political (a derivation of ethics) views are? Or what your triggers and coping mechanisms are? I mean, we could get along no matter what kind of music you listen to/fast food you order, but other stuff like being a violent neo Nazi would evidently bring some friction to our friendship!

    I doubt you're as vacuous as you think (certainly more than a collection of products you consume, right?), don't sell yourself short. 😉

    That you eat fast food enough for it to be a key fact says a lot.

    It says he's a person with money who likes convenience.

    Fast food is cheap. It's part of the reason why we have an obesity epidemic in the US: it's cheaper to feed a family at McDonalds than buy fresh groceries and cook. And, yes, it's far more convenient.

    But if they had money, they wouldn't be eating fast food for convenience; they could get Uber Eats every day from a local restaurant. Even a cheap local restaurant. I suppose going whole-hog and eating every meal at fast food joints would prevent you from ever having to shop and keep food in the house, but even so many people at my last job got food delivered for lunch from local restaurants. That's more convenient than running out to grab Burger King.
