People who gatekeep fucking food can just shove it in their mouths and shut the fuck up.

People who gatekeep fucking food …

How about we don’t fuck food at all

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Whoa. You're the worst kind of gatekeeper. Simultaneously gatekeeping food and kink shaming.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (9 children)

Then you explain it to your mother. That pie was supposed to be for eating, not for sating your carnal lust.

The airport is a wild place to judge and gatekeep others. Everyone is stuck there waiting, and depending on specifically where, you have limited access to anything brought-in and are at the mercy of massively overpriced options.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Also the comment is right, the Beff Empenada is just some.boring ass basic shit but they gave it a fancy name.

If they called the burger a "Beef Slabion con Quisito" or some shit to make it spunds fancy and foreign, he wouldn't complain.

Right? Captive “audience.”

It's also pretty poor vs. poor. If you're going to gate keep the airport, where is the flex about some high tier lounge where you had a beer with a B-list celeb and they served whatever ridiculous stuff they claim those lounges have to sell passes? Lobster ravioli made by some Italian chef from Maine or whatever.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I aint see no celebs, but last time i flew my sister and her husband had a couple guess passes. It was great. Still pretty crowded, but especially once they flew out and i snagged a personal booth.... whewweee it was worth it. At the price of nothing.

I dont fly often enough to give a dam, but for people who fly regularly it might be worth checking. My brother in law isnt rich afaik, but he definitely has a well paying job and is responsible. Travel is their big thing, so I see how it makes sense for them.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 77 points 6 days ago (10 children)

What kind of life do people like this lead where they think EVERY SINGLE PASSING THOUGHT they have is SO important and insightful that they need to get it all out there?

It’s honestly shocking how much worse the art has gotten, considering he’s been doing it for decades: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2026/07/24/the-leto-protocol

I mean, this is a top 3 boilerplate response to someone sharing something boring online. Sharing is generally a pretty meaningful activity for humans. Sharing person to person is a lot better for us than shouting things out on social media but that’s the model that’s provided and the behavior that’s being modeled.

If I am at an airport, I'm probably not gonna eat anything because I refuse to pay $50 for a single meal.

It is pronounced "quasson" 🥐

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I look for the least overpriced meal and I get that meal.

Often it's a sandwich, but sometimes it's a burger. It's still overpriced, but 200% overpriced is better than 500% overpriced and pretending to be bougie.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I got onigiri at breakfast on my last trip. It was just about perfect.

Cheap, hand food, fresh. If I wanted to purchase a second one, it would have kept nice until I was on my flight.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Man I wish my local airport had Onigiri. It's like the most perfect on the go food

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

My go to airport meal is pounding as many beers as I can at the bar so I hopefully pass out after I get on the plane.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Wine

You don't have to pee like if you drink beer

I fly from Australia to the US several times a year and rarely piss on the 15 hour flight, because I stick to wine

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've got a trip to Vegas coming up in September. I'll give it a try next time.

Cheers to my Australian friends!

Who gives a shit what you eat at an airport? That's probably the most utilitarian food imaginable. Plus, because of all the unknown international cross-contamination, there's also the major "at your own risk" consideration. Complaining, judging, negging, or memeing about who eats what at the airport in any sort of serious capacity when it doesn't affect anybody AT ALL is bizarre and gives me "we have Seinfeld at home but he's just a cringe asshole" vibes.

The airport is a lawless place. 7AM? Have a beer. Tired? Sleep on the floor. Hungry? Chips now cost $17.

People don't eat shitty overpriced airport food because they like it. They do it because they have no other choice.

You can talk all the shit you want about MIA as the airport logistics and operations are trash, but the $6 empanadas at Versailles, la carreta on gate D37 and a couple of standalone empanada places are the best food at MIA by leaps and bounds, and way safer than any of the sushi, sandwich other of the microwave to table restaurants there.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I consider myself lucky to not have to eat at airports. When I fly, it's usually direct flights, so I only have to wait maybe an hour. Not worth it (for me) paying prices 2-3 times higher than the already ridiculous ones.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Airports aside, I love it when people assume just because you like cheap food, it means you can't stomach or don't love good food, too.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

F'real man. Like, I love all sorts of food, but nothing hits quite like a really shitty cheap pizza, with that "cheese" that just comes off in a flat sheet.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. When I eat Taco Bell, it's not because I want Mexican food. It's because I want Taco Bell.

If he is eating at an airport his beef likely came from the same factory as the cheeseburger.

I order Mac Donald when I'm at security gate. By the time I reach the boarding gate with the MacDonald, my order is ready. And if I get blocked for whatever reason, well, it was "only" a Mac Donald, compared to being blocked at airport.

One Mac Donald, please

[–] Gust@piefed.social 16 points 6 days ago (7 children)

Panda express is the best airport food imo. Its the only place I've consistently been able to get plain grilled chicken, white rice, and broccoli. Very boring meal, but it doesnt cause my digestive system to bloat up or twist itself into knots, which is pretty peak for air travel days

I usually have second thoughts about eating food made by someone who knows his customers will be a thousand miles away when the dysentery hits.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 10 points 5 days ago

Flying to Oregan, "You have died of dysentery."

Just like in the simulations.

Oddly enough, I have had both gourmet burgers and pizza. The latter at an airport. And before anyone jumps that it is obscenely expensive, I was travelling on the federal government's dime.

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Great so I paid for this. /s
