Some AI? It's all AI!

The tree exploded weird, the mixer was vibrating weird, the guy falling on the ice flopped weird, I could go on. It was weird after weird clips stacked on each other

AI makes all animals more fluffy and cutesy than they are in real life. My mom keeps trying to show me "real" videos that are funny or cute and it just makes me want to put her in a home. She's also a shit human outside of that, so don't judge me for wanting to put her in a home for not recognizing AI.

iirc from their last financials hearings, revenue from lower class orders have dropped significantly, however thr median buyer group has started to spend more to offset those losses. mcdonalds I think had 2% growth suprisingly while the rest of the industry floundered.

basically it's people who wont pick a better place to get food proping mcdonalds

If you want cheap food, Costco food court is where it's at. 15 bucks (if that) for a large meal, a drink, and some kind of dessert.

they shrinkflationed thier food, and they never went back.

I read that the upper/middle class has started going to fast food more because they can’t afford the lunches/dinners they used to get.

If you use the app, you can get a large Ice Tea and a Large Fries for $2.20 including tax. That’s all I ever get there, once a month or so. They gotta be losing money on that deal. I’m slowly putting them out of business. You’re welcome.

Prices are high everywhere, so while it's way more expensive than it was, McDonald's is still pretty much the cheapest option.

A large value meal costs ~$9, and there is a 20% discount for using the app at $15, so if 2 people go or you bring some home it's ~$7. Every $60 you spend nets you free happy meal too.

Meanwhile a local place charges $20 for a burger and fries, no drink, before tip. The grocery store is up to $8.99 a pound for hamburger meat, so while it is still cheaper to make it yourself, by the time you include cooking ingredients it's pretty comparable.

It's a little of column a & column b. Until recently I was paying for entertainment services, then they started including ads in premium memberships (except dropout, you're a real one Sam!). I went, as you so eloquently stated, turbo autistic. And cancelled everything (again except dropout) and locked my virtual presence down. I'm talking vpns,a pi hole, modded apks, the fucking works aside from a complete degoogling which is next in the list. That was a year or two ago, and I honestly must've had something like digital Stockholm syndrome cause it really doesn't feel all that different cause I would typically zone out during commercial breaks anyways. But I had my mom in town visiting and she wanted to watch wicked and it was pretty jarring having to sit through 2-3 minutes of ads to watch the movie.

For some anyway.

Oh that’s a devastating point, didn’t consider the War on Christmas angle. I’d like to give people the benefit of the doubt in that they knew something was fundamentally wrong here, and AI generated happened to be an easy superficial scapegoat. Very insightful comment on the intent behind the prompt that generated this.
