The app deals have mostly dried up. I’m the kind of weirdo who tracks deals for literally everything in my life and honestly all the fast food app deals have largely disappeared.

Which is fine, fast food is generally shit (gonna give some props to stuff like chipotle that actually will give you some decent nutrition). I think what’s sad is workers struggling with multiple jobs/gig work legitimately being low on time and needing easy food options and fast food is just too expensive to justify now.

Yeah during early lockdown I went through a "drunk with a shitty kitchen" phase where I ordered pickup and delivery WAY too much, and there were a lot of surprisingly good deals on the apps. Like I could get a 3 course thai meal or a whole ass good pizza with fancy topping for a steal, then get drunk and eat it and play Rimworld for 6 hours.

I also gained a lot of weight and developed really bad hypertension and sleep apnea. Thankfully I eat out less, have a CPAP and have lost like 50 pounds since then.

Yep. Easy shitty food and losing hours of time to Rimworld is absolutely a thing I've done far too often.
