I mean, I wouldn't say no to a brutalist McDonald's.
I would, but I'm rejecting the mc d's part not the brutalist part.
brutalist architecture is fucking cool.

Libraries are basically the only remaining third space, but they don't fill the same need as the original commentor. Libraries don't have places for kids to run around, be noisy, and climb things. That would be awesome though
And the right+libertarians want to destroy libraries too.
-
Libraries don't have playgrounds, and don't allow food, drink, or birthday parties with friends.
Actually a lot of libraries do events. They have separate areas for it

I was born in the early '80s. The 2000s picture was what my McDonald's always looked like throughout my childhood. I've never seen a McDonald's that looked like the '90s pic.
The 2020 pic shows current McDonald's, but they changed to that sometime in the mid-2010s.
That 1990's McDonald's picture is the specific restaurant that was across the entrance from the Dallas Zoo, hence the animal theme. While it's now remodeled and much more dull, it still looked like the picture up until just a few years ago. In any case, it's not typical of what a McDonald's has ever looked like.
As someone born around the same time as you, I do remember when the typical McDonald's had a bright red roof with the yellow lights, which the 2000's pic is a toned-down version of.

The order needs to be reversed. People don't really read from the bottom up.

Whaat, my library barely has computers.

Wow, which piece of shit did they bribe for that? They completely destroyed the interior of the building. Isn't there any heritage protection?
AFAIK it was part of a larger restoration of the whole building complex (this is the Budapest Nyugati railway station), and the global redesign of McDonalds. They justified it by saying that the architecture is closer to the original - the lower level only became part of it when they built the McDonalds in 1990, before that it was a separate diner for the poors in third class. The furniture is default McDonalds.
The overall restoration on the building at large is not bad per se, but they basically destroyed a symbol of the Hungarian 90s - 00s. This was the place where if you lived in Budapest and got wasted, you could get some nutrition in the city center, and it wasn't full of tourists because they didn't think that the railway station buffet was so good.
BTW the local franchisee is trying to cater more to a "fast casual" crowd rather than the bare minimum, so a McDonalds in Hungary has a menu three times as long as one in the Netherlands for example. All I'm saying is that it was a nice place considering. Sic transit gloria mundi I guess.

The food is also going to be shit like bugs or lab-made pink paste. Possible made with bugs.

It's the same thing that happened to the fair phone regarding the audio jack
The noisy minority wants it, they yell, write on forums and complain, but they are statically nonsignificant as people keep buying the phone
Same with colors. Why waste millions on cars and buildings dyed with colors no one might want instead of appealing to the broader consumer base?
They are also are influenced by and influencing fashion and trends in color choice as well, just look at minimalism and brutalism. It is also cheaper and more efficient on the design and manufacturing to offer things in less specialized coloration
Proof is that people keep buying stuff
Same as with furniture. There is a reason why Ikea is a whole thing
Going into the meta, imagine someone wants to buy a car. Inevitably, they will think as well on the day they will sell the car. What are you gonna buy? A car painted in a weird color? Or something that you know for sure no one will mind THAT much?
Ithat, or you can go with the theory of the Pixies finally doing their takeover

Thank you for the interesting context!

McDonald’s use to be a place for kids. They have since rebranded to let people know there’s stuff on the menu that’s for adults.
Much of marketing to Americans is treating everyone like a monkey and using colors to trick them into buying your stuff.
