    An intelligent person would look at that bank account and think “I never have to work another day in my life, why am I still here?”

      This. This right here, if you can retire and don’t I hope you die before you get to enjoy it. What the fuck is wrong with them

      Less intelligent, more not a sociopath. These people are clearly very intelligent, they just lack ethics and have replaced it with greed.

  Transcript:

  “Hello fellow humans. I shall soon commence sensory analysis of this new human food product. I SHALL INJEST THIS FOR MY LUNCHEON. Let us scrutinise the product. It has dimensions which impress me hugely. It has constituent components. I can name some of them. I am inexperienced in eating this kind of human food product so must first determine an effective strategem for inserting it in my face hole. Minimally shall be my approach. I shall now appear to consume a small sample. Yes, indeed that is a human food product! Only McDonalds could produce a distinctive human food product like this.”

    Reminds me of this:

    Screenshot from The Simpsons Movie. Krusty is eating a Krusty Burger with a happy face. In the background there’s a pig.

    Director: Action.

    Krusty: Hey, hey! It’s your old pal Krusty, with my new pork sandwich, the Klogger. lf you can find a greasier sandwich, you’re in Mexico!

    [Krusty laughs and munches on the hamburger.]

    Director: And we’re clear.

    [Krusty spits out the hamburger.]

    Krusty: Perfect. Cut, print, kill the pig.

  I’ve always considered McD’s to be the bottom of the barrel as far as fast food.

  • Scrollone@feddit.it ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Which country are you from?

    Here in Italy McDonald’s is top quality; probably the best American fast food.

    • HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      the best American fast food.

      Let me dig a hole for the bar you’re setting there.

      I’ve had McDonald’s in Italy and it’s the same cardboard taste there as it is elsewhere in Europe imo.

      McDonalds is easily the worst fast food out there, except for their breakfast, which is surprisingly decent. Their burgers are the worst in the biz.

      If you think McDonalds represents the best, you should try Culver’s.

    That was fine when it costed significantly less than the other options, same principle that Little Caesars operates on

    It doesn’t anymore

      Same with taco bell. Its not cheap anymore and everything has their ass-flavored fake cheese sauce on it.

    for me i consider McD average it isnt good nor bad.(mcflurry is good though, also it depends on the food)
    but ofc there are better restaurants

    there are a few worse regional chains, but national chains yeah

  Do we think this CEO fucks his employees too?

  What even qualifies someone to be a CEO? I’ve been doing writing coach work for business majors and it’s just amazing how easy the work is. Imagine your term paper being “write a professional email.”

    Maybe that’s why a lot of them think AI is the future. It can do their easy fucking bullshit of a job so they believe it can also do real work.

  How much money is being spent daily for a marketing team? Let them do their job and stay out of it.

  Elon Musk should have been enough of a warning to CEOs everywhere that being in the public eye is bad for business.

  • AlexLost@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    CEOs should be replaced by AI. They might actually make a good decision or two this way, and save the company tens of millions of dollars.

    source

    • Seaguy05@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I highly doubt an AI agent that’s ready to suggest nuking everyone would make anything but the most extreme decisions to make more money. Like laughably evil shit like sending contaminated baby formula to 3rd world countries or knocking down governments to sell more bananas or reducing quality ingredients to the bare minimum that still technically qualifies as food… Oh wait I see your point now.

    I find it funny that autism-central is raking this guy over the coals for being socially awkward

    source

    • Dearth@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Seriously. He took a normal size bite for someone who doesn’t want to get messy. The internet is acting like he needs to take a tv commercial sized mega bite to oversell how good the burger is.

      Dude is clearly just a tidy awkward human and the internet is convinced that means the food is bad

      It’s ultraprocessed food with additives and ingredients we aren’t fully sure what effect they have on the human body.

      source
    • DragonAce@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      IDK, I remember seeing a post a few years back of someone who left a McDonalds cheeseburger and fries out to see how long it would take to spoil. IIRC the damn things went on close to a decade without a single bit of decomposition. While that may not be directly poison per se, that amount of preservatives and chemicals can’t be good for the human body.

  It should be a rule, that a food executive is required to eat at least seven meals a week from the business they are running. Their attitude about food quality would fundamentally change.
