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.

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

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.

I'd like to change the order of the meme

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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.

It should be a hole underground.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Soylent Green didn't test well with consumers, so we fed it to bugs and made Soylent Pink.

The harburgler of doom. Robble robble!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

I mean, I wouldn't say no to a brutalist McDonald's.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would, but I'm rejecting the mc d's part not the brutalist part.

brutalist architecture is fucking cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That's fair.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I for one welcome our new brutalist McDonald's overlord πŸ”

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From beautiful 19th century architecture to boring modern office lounge. Not everything needs to be updated for current trends.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

My college did this. It might have been due to bedbugs. They swapped the cozy built in furniture with this weird vinyl stuff. Bugs can't get into the seams.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow, which piece of shit did they bribe for that? They completely destroyed the interior of the building. Isn't there any heritage protection?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.
