“All the people’s money is stolen to fund their endless wars! They are stolen so much that 18% of their populations remains houseless! The rest are price gouged most of their income! They’re dictators also price gouge healthcare! 45,000 are killed every year because they have nothing else to life gouge so lose their lives! They also have forced slave labor in their prisons! They overcharge people suspected of committing a crime so they scare them into plea bargaining and expand their amount of slaves! 1.2 million slaves!

But this isn't a joke, this is just how that country is set up.

Yes, America is very bad.

It's theorized that that the McRib is only available when prices for pork are predicted to go down.

I don't know too much about it and I don't remember where I heard this information.

Every time I see this it looks like her face is made of more plastic.

Never heard of the McRib in my life living in France wtf they robbed us of this 🤬🤬🤬

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

The French could not handle something so violently American. We here in Australia thought we could, once.

There were no survivors.

[–] idunnololz 11 points 1 year ago

The McRib is garbage. It's literally minced meat molded into the shape of a rib drenched in sauce. It's soooo badddddd.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Cross the border into Germany and enjoy McRibs 24/7 year-round

[–] iforgotmyinstance 3 points 1 year ago

You have been played for fools. The McRib only reveals itself following a dip in pork prices.

Well I can't argue with that.

Can confirm

Is that Gina Darling?

Edit: well, I don’t feel so stupid anymore

Nay friend, that's Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector, spouting heavily sponsored, contradictory, and fantastical tales of North Korea on Joe Rogan.

Is she the one that said loving your mom was illegal in DPRK?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

better yet, she said there was no word for "love" in the language they speak in the DPRK, which, coincidentally, is also what's spoken in Occupied Korea

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

What if she's just misunderstood and is always stuck trying to explain to her hosts the concept of Koreans speaking Korean rather than English?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No, she’s actually right. The evil Kim dynasty banned the word when they changed the alphabet and created 문화어

I mean I don’t ONLY eat burgers, and I never had the McRib, but other than that, this is scarily accurate to my life😨 what can I say? Burgers are affordable, veggies aren’t and they taste icky

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

counterpoint: vegetables tastier than meats

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

make some stir-fried vegetables with noodles and soy sauce, look me in the eye and tell me that's not on the top 10 list of greatest things in the universe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Add some well marinated tofu (which is allowed to have sugar) and it is even more delicious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I like veggies but burgers are fucking delicious. I mean fuck McDonald's as an entity but people try to act like it's not tasty as hell.

[–] nyoooom 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Nah, the ingredients in a McDonald's burger are almost tasteless, it's mostly the sauce that people really like.

Imagine the same burger but with fresh tasty ingredients, that would be glorious.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

their burgers are different outside of the US, at least in some countries

[–] nyoooom 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, even in my country, where McDonald's have a decent reputation, the ingredients are not very tastful

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah Im sorry MCUH8R but i have to second this, mcd is whack, id rather steal food or eat out of garbage cans and im not joking 😂😂😂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s not high quality, but when I have like less than 50 bucks in my account, McDonald’s starts to look and taste a lot better

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every time I head stateside, I eat (albeit incredibly tasty) burgers as the only affordable thing on the menu until my cash gets so low I switch to Macdonald's. Tragic. Honestly no idea how most USians afford to eat. Who tf pays $30+ for a bowl of pasta? (That's usually the next cheapest thing on the menu.) Maybe it's different across states? Maybe USians don't tip? It would be more affordable if I wasn't including the tip. Haven't visited since I stopped eating meat so no idea what I'd do for food there now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, most people tip. You are seen as rude for not tipping most of the time. But there are more and more places requesting tips, so not everyone tips all the time, depends on the restaurant

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Artisanal burgers are much tastier than McDonald's. In fact, it's not hard for a real burger to be tastier than a McDonald's one, at least in my country (I'm not sure if McDonald's quality is the same in all countries). Here, McDonald's isn't very good, and even so it's quite expensive. Even the most affordable option on the menu is pricey, and it barely has anything inside. Not to mention that these fast food burgers are tiny.

Hambúrgueres artesanais são muito mais gostosos que McDonald's. Na verdade não é difícil um hambúrguer de verdade ser mais gostoso que um McDonald's, pelo menos no meu país (não tenho certeza se a qualidade do McDonald's é a mesma em todos os países). Aqui McDonald's não é muito bom e ainda é bem caro; a opção mais acessível do menu já é cara, e não têm quase nada dentro. Sem falar que esses hambúrgueres de fast food são bem pequenos.

Idk I think I’m an awful cook personally because I cannot for the life of me cook a burger better than fast food. It’s always too burnt, too dry in the middle, too pink in the middle for my taste, or just not seasoned enough or too much. I absolutely have no sense when it comes to cooking, I buy some stuff (I weep because of how much I’m spending) then I prep it incorrectly, pop it in the grill or oven, wait way too long and finally I’m ready to eat something that I despise. Its not one of those “oh I’m so clumsy, how about someone else cooks instead?” Because I genuinely ENJOY cooking about 2-3 times a week but the meals I make are either pre-made (aka you couldn’t fuck it up if you tried) or I make it myself and it’s an abomination of what the original recipe calls for. I keep at it tho because I like the process, but my cooking is horrendous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Y’know vegan burgers are way easier to cook and taste great. I’ve come to love black bean burgers, but if you want the taste of meat try a beyond burger.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’d be more than willing to try. I mean at this point I think it can’t get worse than what I usually cook, and I like beans a lot, not to turn you into an advertisement or anything but do u have a recommend brand?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Morning Star Farms has a lot of meat alternatives including black bean burgers, but you could also make your own. Beyond and Impossible (the one at Burger King) are the brands with creepily realistic stuff.
