This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

But why?

It would take longer to drive there sit in that line and then drive home than it would take to just make chicken for yourself. Add some pickle juice to your chicken seasoning and it’ll taste just like Chick-fil-A. Then you could have delicious chicken at home without all of the Christian hate, er, love.

I was reading the chic fil a guys biography in a thrift store other day. It opens with how he was going to give a guy a free car, but recorded the "you get a car" message at the end of 3 consecutive cassette tapes of Christian preacher sermons. Presumably, that's, what, between 3 and 6 hours worth of church to have a chance to catch the message that you get a free car?

Then the guy didn't listen to them all the way through so didn't get a car.

The guy was essentially orphaned from an abusive home and walked hours to work every day. The chic fil a guy was like "what an unfortunate story!"

motherfucker you tricked him like some kind of goblin

Plus it's not just about total time between "I want food" and "Nom nom". There's also the matter of how usable that time is. On a good day it might only take me a few minutes longer to get fast food, but all of that time is spent behind the wheel and most of it is spent driving. Making a sandwich at home, on the other hand, only about a minute is spent actively handling food. The other seventeen minutes while the patty cooks are free; I can it spend doing anything I please. So instead of comparing twenty minutes for fast food vs. eighteen minutes for DIY, it's really more like twenty minutes vs. one minute.

Chick-fil-a chicken is fried. You really shouldn’t be off doing something else in your home while you’re frying anything.

just get an air fryer, they work great and lets you use waaaaaaaaaaaaay less fat.

[–] EncryptKeeper 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I have an air fryer but it doesn’t really fry things. Not in the way an actual fryer does. All an air fryer is, is a convection oven.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Sssshhhhh, don't let the air fryer fans hear you...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

well my experience is that it works just as well, and is much more convenient.

just dip stuff in egg and panko then toss it into the air fryer, yeah sure whatever it's not technically frying but it tastes good so i don't give a shit.

[–] EncryptKeeper 5 points 11 months ago

Well I’m glad you like it. But for everyone else who wants actually fried food I think they’re stick with fryers lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

You need to buy the ingredients, which likely means you are committing to cooking at least four sandwiches. So you are going to have to go out to the grocery store anyway.

Cooking means you need to know how to cook the chicken. If you are going from deciding to eating, you aren't going to have time to brine the chicken. You also need to cook the fries, which may take longer than the chicken unless you cook premade fries.

You also need to clean up after you are done cooking, which adds additional time.

And if you really like a fast food place, they likely have an app so you can order and it will be ready by the time you get there.

Cfa moves fast. That's probably only a 10 min wait. If that was a mcdonald's or burger king it would be an hour wait.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately no. They serve Limited menu, you'd be through that line in 10 minutes or so

I used to work for a chick fil a - ask me anything.

Is it true that you had to perform oral sex on an effigy of Pat Robertson as a means of entering timecard punches?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Only my manager. It was her punishment for being a lesbian.

[–] TheMinions 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Do you still enjoy the taste of fried chicken?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It was almost 20 years ago that I worked there, but yeah I still do. Used to get a spicy chicken wrap for my free meal everyday.
