The Harbinger of the Dystopia
-
Ah yes. Because we all know that dystopia is when dull burger.
For me, it was just a silly metaphor, but you might be onto something:
"Fasting is eating. Refusing is ordering. Salad is burger." ~ George Orwell
"I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we're advanced in every way except in our burgers." ~ Bryce Dallas Howard
"Dystopian novels help people process their fears about what the future burger might look like; further, they usually show that there is always hope, even in the bleakest future burger." ~ Lauren Oliver
"Who controls the past controls the burger. Who controls the present controls the past." ~ George Orwell

Go to China. The real Harbinger is this
-
I shudder to think what the 1908s and 1970s McDs looked like in the US.
Or worse, a McDonald's in 1860s Mississippi.
-
Good thing they dont target children like in the past anymore tbh. The flag pole is dystopian af though
Respectfully, I must disagree. I feel like children need a place where they can be free to unwind after their 16-hour factory shifts and maybe grab a beer.
Dystopian? The flag that waved over this?
-
It should have been replaced by a 20mm turret.
I don't like the sound of that. Can we call it a "freedom launcher?"
-
A new McDonald’s commercial has a burger stolen and the character shouts “it’s the hamburger thief”
Cultural erasure
Al-Beefda
We transitioned from the war on crime to the war on terrorism.

Inside the top one, you can hear screams regularly going like this:
No, please no, I don't wanna fucking die! No! Please no, you fucking fucking bastards! AAAAAH, IT HURTS, IT FUCKING HURTS! AAAAAAAAAHHH, MY ARMS, MY FUCKING ARMS, YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!
Love your imagination. Tell me what the McDonald's employees are doing to the customer's arms.
-
Hold on there's a McDonalds I remember going to, and I'm trying to think if it was in Scotland or England, but we stopped off there and the fucking place looked near enough like a villain's lair.
I have to know where this is. What resources do you require to find it?
-
Yeah, I can get not wanting to spend the time/effort. Though, there is a difference between a shit post and a shitpost. People always conflate the two.
Not me. I only post shit shitposts so no matter why people hate it, they're right.
-
The food is also going to be shit like bugs or lab-made pink paste. Possible made with bugs.
it's an american business, it'll be corn burgers with cornbread and slices of corn served with deep fried popcorn and a tall glass of corn syrup
-
I would, but I'm rejecting the mc d's part not the brutalist part.
brutalist architecture is fucking cool.
brutalist state-owned fast food joint, everything's cheap but not that cheap and perfectly middling quality, and there's 4 things on the menu
-
Looks about the same in Sweden.
Wood panels with green accents together with the golden archesi miss that brief period some 5-10 years ago when they had genuinely pretty green glass mosaics with gold streaks throughout

I'd at least try it
-
Whaat, my library barely has computers.
Thats unfortunate..but my city is like 200k people so that maybe helps. 6 libraries

wrote on last edited by [email protected]idk and I'm raking my brains to find out where it is. All I remember is that it was in a service area/retail park somwhere in Scotland/Northwestern England, could literally be anywhere between Inverness and Lancaster.
UPDATE
I found it, I found it! It's this one right here. It looked more menacing in my memory for some reason. We must've been going to Foyers (Loch Ness) at the time!

Still, that's really cool! There's something particularly funny about a McDonald's in Scotland. It feels like a Taco Bell in Spain.

I mean, McDonald is a Scottish name, but McDonald's doesn't sell Scottish Food.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to express. Taco Bell is vaguely Spanish, but doesn't have anything to do with Spain (or Mexico, for that matter).
It would be like an O'Brien's restaurant that primarily sells sushi.
