tiktok literally scares me so much bc it's literally a bunch of kids making the same extremely bad take/poorly-recieved ""ironic"" posts we did here 2010-2014 but this time they're actually attaching their REAL LIFE HUMAN FACES TO IT???????????????
this growing trend of kids especially abandoning any instinct to preserve their online anonymity is so massively concerning, especially now with facial recognition softwares on the rise all over the place... idk man. it keeps me up at night sometimes.
concept: me and you, getting chased by the cops while we wipe the blood off our hands after disposing the 5th dead body of a rich and powerful criminal
Okay but there are several reasons that are kinda interesting
1) fast food restaurants cannot advertise to children anymore, so that means no more bright colors and child friendly mascots
2) McDonalds and the like have been loosing ground to “fresh fast food” chains like Chipotle for the better part of two decades, and this style is meant to emulate that more clean, “mature” style.
3) Resale on property. See, fast food isn’t doing as well as it did in the 90s-early 2000s, and where it used to be fairly rare to have a fast food place close, now a days you might have a location close, and good luck selling the old, branded building to a completely different business. You know those closed Pizza Huts that just sorta sit there forever, very clearly having been a Pizza Hut? Well as it turns out, most businesses don’t want to buy a building that is recognizably from a different brand. You’d basically have to tear down the building and start over, a costly decision when there are plenty of plain looking spaces that you can buy/rent and put a lot less cost into renovations. So for a fast food chain now, it’s far better to have a plain “this could be any sort of counter service place, just change the signs!” In case you have to close that location and sell the building.
Basically fast food places look like this now because fast food is an industry that is well past it’s peak profits, and businesses must plan for their eventual closure and for their building to simply be absorbed into the next trend or monopoly.
This makes sense but also there's an urgent care in my area that has the pizza hut roof
I'm at the urgent care, I'm at the pizza hut, I'm at the combination urgent care and pizza hut
I don't want a "feather light" "razor thin" laptop. I want a laptop that will last longer than 2 years without being obliterated because it slipped off the couch and fell one foot onto the carpet.
photos taken this week by mark bridger of a hedgehog who should be hibernating this late into the season, but is still awake due to the unusually warm weather. hedgehogs are now listed as an endangered species, with experts believing that they may become extinct in ten years time. (more hedgehogs in autumn)
just because your area of study isn’t chemistry or anatomy doesn’t mean you’re any less of a mad scientist! mad astronomers are evil! mad botanists are fucked up! mad psychologists are twisted! all fields of mad science are valid!!
People who think this planet was created for humans to be ours are so wild to me
70% of the planets surface is undrinkable uninhabitable death water that sharks love. How is that a human-centric design.
the earth was created for various types of crabs
