It’s wild how the us media “culture” has withered so drastically that i am nostalgic for the days when they aired bold ideas such as “fast food is bad for you”. There was a time where nickelodeon wouldn’t air any shows and display a message that told your porcine children to go outside.

Instead of taking that further fast food is a-okay now. Its fine to be constantly consuming media, and “serious” news outlets are rehashing 20 year old internet memes

A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now. Except hamburgers. We can compare it to hamburgers.

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 hours ago

All other arguments aside, if you are going to compare the two this way, if the US has 9x the land mass as Ukraine, then why is the US sized the same as Ukraine in the image?

Surely it's not to make the image misleading.

Unlimited mcdonalds on the west

Yeah, uh, that is what happens when you go to war with a major country.

Very impressive, now let's see Paul Allenskyy's strike locations

[-] Seasonal_Peace@hexbear.net 42 points 5 hours ago

160,000 buildings were damaged in Gaza (a city as big as Detroit) in the last year, there are 190,000 franchised fast food establishments in the whole of the U.S.

For context,

ah, it's for context

that makes it not one of the funniest things I've seen then michael-laugh

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 29 points 5 hours ago

and yet, McDonald's has killed way more people than any Russian missile. probably a single McDonald's by itself has killed more people than half of those missiles combined.

[-] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 53 points 7 hours ago

The current yearly burger consumption of America is 9,343,161,756Ib of hamburger

For context, there are 38,229,212 Ukrainians

[-] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 37 points 7 hours ago

Conclusion: Russia should fire missiles at every McDonalds in the US

[-] kittin@hexbear.net 28 points 7 hours ago

Ukraines war effort is like a broken sundae machine and crimea is as out of reach as a burger joint without a drive-thru

Explaining war to an american: So imagine a Mcdonalds mccrucified

"Every missile they launched is the same".

It's like the Israelis claiming "Hamas launched thousands of missiles at Israel" when most of them are intercepted and the ones that get through barely cause any damage to property let alone life.

Meanwhile, Israel is dropping 2000lbs bombs on Gaza. Entire buildings turned into rubble, massive craters.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 49 points 8 hours ago

Lol even KyivPost does the "How to talk to a burgerlander" meme

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 40 points 8 hours ago

Are they saying that Russia has launched too many missiles or that USA has too few McDonald's?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 11 points 4 hours ago

Waiting on melon-musk to create rocket-deployed McDonald's

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 25 points 8 hours ago

Since 2000, Israel has launched 1 trillion chicken mcnuggets worth of explosives at Gaza.

How many football fields is that? grillman

25,000 missiles and drones have the same amount of energy to power 7,600 Cybertrucks

ANYTHING BUT THE METRIC SYSTEM agony-consuming

i-cant they really can only measure things in burg

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Makes me wonder where in the continental US is furthest from a McDonalds. Looks like some random field in...Wyoming? I don't know US states. Surprised about a lot of the South West though, I thought the desert there would be a lot less inhabited.

Also makes me think about Bigfoot sightings. Look at all these McDonalds. Where's Mr Foot meant to be hiding when he's probably no more than an hour away from Maccas at any given time?

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 14 points 8 hours ago

Surely the furthest from a McDonalds have to be in either Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, right? Like there's so many McDonalds' in America that you'd have to go to a national park to find someplace that didn't have one.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 7 hours ago

I just assume that Americans have McDonalds and KFC and stuff located in the visitor's centre in all their national parks, and if not, they would certainly have some on the highways going past them.

[-] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 28 points 9 hours ago

Now do Gaza.

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 25 points 9 hours ago

This reminds me of that BadEmpanada video titled something like "explaining the Iraq War for Americans" where he used burgers as a metaphor for everything the US stole from Iraq, except BadEmpanada did it as a joke.

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 30 points 9 hours ago

Okay but what if I expected there to be like 4 times as many McDonald's in the US? That actually does recontextualize how I think about Burgerland.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 9 points 4 hours ago

There's actually significantly more Subway restaurants

They're weeds

[-] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago

wow is that true? do people go to subway that much?

is subway like the biggest minimum-wage employer? are subway employees the ripe vanguard of the revolution?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 59 minutes ago

The answer is basically subway takes very little space, very little staffing. Super cheap to run and setup.

Also, McDonalds is a public toilet space, imho

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 14 points 9 hours ago

I don't think the US is only ~5,500,000 km2
