“All the people’s money is stolen to fund their endless wars! They are stolen so much that 18% of their populations remains houseless! The rest are price gouged most of their income! They’re dictators also price gouge healthcare! 45,000 are killed every year because they have nothing else to life gouge so lose their lives! They also have forced slave labor in their prisons! They overcharge people suspected of committing a crime so they scare them into plea bargaining and expand their amount of slaves! 1.2 million slaves!

But this isn't a joke, this is just how that country is set up.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"set up" implies intention, but there is none, this is simply the way things happen. just like water will flow downhill, never uphill.

:D

No, the US is intentionally this bad. It’s purposefully set up this way because it serves the interests of the bourgeois. They’re not stupid. They’re capitalists. This is capitalism.

yeah i know, i was using the deep magick of sarcasm

The beauty of text and it's inability to convey tone. If not for forced pronouns you would be eaten alive by wild hogs.

Yes, America is very bad.

and the mcrib isn't even good ☠️

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering that I remember it from a cartoon more than real life, how many times have you had one? I think I liked it.

[–] rush@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Once. I thoroughly disliked it

Thing is, they're not limited in Germany, I can get one whenever

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The McRib itself, fuck no. The nostalgia associated with it hits different though.

Never heard of the McRib in my life living in France wtf they robbed us of this 🤬🤬🤬

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 1 year ago

The French could not handle something so violently American. We here in Australia thought we could, once.

There were no survivors.

[–] avapa@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Cross the border into Germany and enjoy McRibs 24/7 year-round

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The McRib is garbage. It's literally minced meat molded into the shape of a rib drenched in sauce. It's soooo badddddd.

[–] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Imagine, if you will, a pulled pork sandwich… except someone then un-pulled the pork back into an imitation of a rack of ribs.

[–] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 1 year ago

Every time I see this it looks like her face is made of more plastic.

[–] StinkyDave@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

It's theorized that that the McRib is only available when prices for pork are predicted to go down.

I don't know too much about it and I don't remember where I heard this information.

I still don't know what a Riblet is.

[–] hotwarioinyourarea@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Well, it's not quite a rib and it's not quite a toilet but maaaaan...

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is only partially true.

[–] kig_v2@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

[–] droans@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Well I can't argue with that.

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Can confirm

[–] ButtigiegMineralMap@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I mean I don’t ONLY eat burgers, and I never had the McRib, but other than that, this is scarily accurate to my life😨 what can I say? Burgers are affordable, veggies aren’t and they taste icky

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

counterpoint: vegetables tastier than meats

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

make some stir-fried vegetables with noodles and soy sauce, look me in the eye and tell me that's not on the top 10 list of greatest things in the universe

[–] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Add some well marinated tofu (which is allowed to have sugar) and it is even more delicious.

[–] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Badly cooked vegetables are sad, grill until the natural sugars come out and add seasonings

[–] nostalgicgamerz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is that Gina Darling?

Edit: well, I don’t feel so stupid anymore

Nay friend, that's Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector, spouting heavily sponsored, contradictory, and fantastical tales of North Korea on Joe Rogan.
