I shudder to think what the 1908s and 1970s McDs looked like in the US.

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.
Good thing they dont target children like in the past anymore tbh. The flag pole is dystopian af though
It should have been replaced by a 20mm turret.
A new McDonaldβs commercial has a burger stolen and the character shouts βitβs the hamburger thiefβ
Cultural erasure
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!
It's this a picture of kids growing olderΒΏ?
You may have a future in marketing.
So mean how dare you!
... But if you're hiring I'm relatively cheap and hard working if somewhat stupid
Lol
I'd like to change the order of the meme
Me, too, but I wasn't about to chop the original meme and stitch it back together in a better order. If you do it for me, you can have all my imaginary internet points, though.
Thanks! I might get a print. Those are cool.
You have set me back financially by at least a month, but thank you.
That is long enough for our plan
We will collapse the human empire by convincing the peasants within it to purchase art from artists until the economy becomes untirely imaginary (as all art is at least somewhat imaginary) and collapses.

Long live the Crowvelution!
That's SO Raven!
The 2000s was perfect
I prefer the 20s look
My generation was the best generation. I know a lot of people feel that way, but my generation was the only one that was correct.
Le right generation
Ofc
The order needs to be reversed. People don't really read from the bottom up.
You're right. I just didn't feel like chopping the original meme and stitching it back together. I just made my little addition to the top. I guess that did make the post a little...shitty.
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.
The food is also going to be shit like bugs or lab-made pink paste. Possible made with bugs.
Soylent Green didn't test well with consumers, so we fed it to bugs and made Soylent Pink.
We used to have the only McDonald's (that I know of) that was in a building designed by Eiffel.
They "modernised" it last year.
Some of that is from white balance making the top picture look warmer, but even accounting for that, it's a tragedy.
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.
Can I have my fries tho you were holding them those last three paragraphs no keep talking tho this is interesting
Thank you for the interesting context!

I'm actually going to say that I think designing a restaurant for disastrously unhealthy fast food in a way that makes it look and feel like a playground shouldn't be legal, and I'm happy to see them look as dull and unappealing as possible to young children.
The ongoing health crisis is so severe in no small part because of things like that 1990s picture getting kids addicted to trash. This post feels like someone from the 1970s yearning for the days of Joe Camel. Plain packaging does work.
Edit: I thought Joe Camel was much older than it really is.
