A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Idk who is using all those expensive ass delivery options. Just pick it up, food is fresher and cheaper.
A) I've no licence
B) I've no car
C) The only transport near where I live is a bus every hour.
D) there are no fast food places near me outside of a Chinese takeaway that's a 5-10 minute walk up and down steep hills.
What are you too good for the bus? Also, cook your own food, it's way cheaper..
Yeah! Are you too good for a 4 hour round trip with 50 pointless stops on an empty bus? Too good for that 1 hour wait time if you miss it? You should instead use said bus to go grocery shopping so you can carry that shit home instead of conveniencing yourself and being rightfully upset with the cost and bad product. /s
Jesus christ, if you can't manage to use a bus properly and feed yourself without relying on door dash you should move back in with an adult.
low effort troll
You need a bicycle.
A bike isn't an option everywhere, especially in the US. My parents are from the Netherlands, where almost everyone bikes almost everywhere. When they moved to the US, my dad biked to work. Once. To my knowledge, in the 30 years they lived here, he's never decided to try it again.
One of the games I play on my commute is imagining what the bike route would be like. I looked it up once and every path included a high traffic street with no sidewalk; where I live, that's straight up flirting with death. Cycling in my area requires a large group and/or limited capacity for risk assessment.
The only bikes I see on my drive are there in memorial to someone who died there on a bike.
Not with that attitude.
Most dorms don't have any means of cooking and even ban things like toasters.
It gets more cost effective the more food you order, 1 meal @ 15$ + 15$ in fees and tips is outrageous, 50% of your total is just fees and tips. But 4 or 5 meals at 50-60$ + 15$ in fees and tips is much more reasonable. The DD fees don't scale to the order size you make (surprisingly lmao).
Fifteen dollars in tips and fees?! wtf?
Is the food delivered with a Porsche and the delivery person personally feeds you or what?!
Over here delivery is like 2-3€, and you tip if the service was above average and well then it's usually by filling up to something convenient (this is based on until recently still mostly using actual cash, so tipping to save the delivery person the time fiddling with change, "just keep the change").
The fee is about 8-10 depending on the restaurant and your area. I usually do a tip of about 5-7 so that I can get better service from the driver. Really, the tip should be thought of more of a "silent bid" for services or a bribe if you want to have fun with it lol
Damn, you tip before the delivery? Then it's really just part of the fee, no? Especially if it's like a bid. :o
Yes, the tip is more of a bribe to encourage the driver to get the food to you in a timely manner.
Don't give them ideas (even though it's probably already in the pipeline)
These meals don't cost the money to be microwaved again, it's just not that good. Better off ordering groceries in that case.
