The people hating this ad, and the people loving this ad, are doing exactly what McDonald's wanted. People are making a big fuss about a fast food chain's ad.


Also, back in 2014 or 2015, McDonald's used to give a 1 dollar Big Mac or Double Cheese burger to new customers who downloaded their app and made an account. I of course abused this sale for a few months, by making new emails every day. It got to the point where I felt ill looking at the McDonald's logo. But I was broke as fuck. I still feel ill seeing their icon.

I don't really get the issue. Here in the UK Mcdonalds being "A lovely thing to do with your family" has been running theme throughout their advertising for years.

I swear the older I get the dumber the shit people argue about online gets.
Sometimes it feels like it's just arguing for the sake of arguing, people are too bored nowadays

Yes, they are. Why do you think they do virtue signaling crap like pretending to care about human rights when they use literal slaves to make their products and giving you lecturings about enviroment when same corporations pollute the environment the most?

Stupid people were always a thing but when the internet became more mainstream to normies from early 2010s and after thanks to smartphones and social media these stupid people became even more stupider. Like with all these schizos that lost their shit over a harmless Japanese McDonald's ad. How do you explain this phenomenon?

In the past if you made a fuss over an anime drawing, everyone would laugh at you. But now it's suddenly the norm to treat anime drawings like CP.

I assuming thy the creation of TikTok, Snapchat, and other "Shorts" related apps started to to make people much more unintelligent? I was born when it was vaguely like that. Nobody was really using the shorts type of stuff until early high school, BUT people were definitely using Snapchat around 5th and 6th grade.

Even before TikTok people already got stupider, especially thanks to tumblr, twitter, reddit etc.

Also for some reason even middle age and old people are into TikTok. I opened an account for the heck of it because some good humoristic and lewd videos were from TikTok but I deleted my account 5-10 minutes after opening it because of the cringe fest and the annoying interface/format.

I see.... Twitter is just a mess at this point especially ever since Elon changed its branding. Tumblr, j don't even like them anymore because they used to be smart taking the NSFW off of the platform but assuming because of Twitters downfall in an attempt to lure people back into using it they brought it back? I personally am a guy that hates lewd content, so in my eyes, I personally find both apps to just be corrupted, and so as Reddit. I've learned from some people that 69 and most other memes came from that site and it just gives me more of a reason to never make an account on there.

I thought only teenagers used this platform. Guess that everyone doesn't understands how bad this platform can actually be.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
