Reminds me of 'why do Americans eat like they have free universal health care?'

[-] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 1 day ago

I'm 100% positive this isn't real

[-] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 22 hours ago

I mean id believe it from some local restaurant or something but zero shot

[-] oplkill@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Nobody have free health care in the world

[-] h_ramus@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago

Here's the thing, it's already paid for from your taxes. Some countries choose to feed the military machine where a few billion lost here and there isn't an issue. However, when it cones to healthcare, it's an insurmountable cost.

Know what the best thing about national healthcare service? I don't have to think about it. It's there. How much it costs? Doesn't matter? Will I become destitute if severely ill? No. Do I allow my fellow countrymen to be supported in times of need? Absolutely. Do I obtain natural hedging benefits from pooling risks into a bigger pot rather than having broken risk pools managed by thousands of insurance companies? Yup. Do countries with national service have greater costs than for-profit insurance healthcare? Nope, quite the opposite. Is life expectancy shorter in countries with national service? No, on the contrary, people live longer.

Making sure everyone has access to treatment when in need should be viewed as a large achievement of societal living and a great patriotic duty, your fellow citizens are protected.

But sure, without insurance middlemen milking people dry some people won't get to enjoy their third mansion. Well, only if someone doesn't have preexisting conditions otherwise you're on your own and left to get treatment when in need and filling bankruptcy at the same time. The pinnacle of human development.

Last time I replied to a comment here my comment got deleted for violating "be civil' rule. I'm going to violate again and tell you.. Are you really this dumb? Cant you comprehend what people mean when they say free healthcare you muppet?

P.s. Mods: are you going to implement a "don't say dumb things" rule ? Why do we have to be civil against obvious empty buckets for brains?

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

Can you please go to some forest already, where you don't have to pay taxes, so the rest of us can have a civilization and support each other like actual people.

We can even try to make taxes a subscription thing. We will pay for the roads you walk on for free, you have to deal with the other bullshit using private companies. You don't get healthcare unless you can pay for it, electricity, water, even justice. All of that will have to come out of your pocket.

Meanwhile, we will go forward without you into the future.

I always love seeing people stating grade school facts like they're some unique insight into the world. Really lets you know what level they operate on.

[-] oplkill@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Not every school have those facts

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Free at the point of use isn't the same thing as free.

Edit: genuinely curious why I'm getting downvoted? I'm in the UK, I love the NHS, I think it represents fantastic value, but I'm not labouring under the impression I'm not paying for it.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Yes you are so much smarter than everyone else and you’re the only one capable of understanding that government services are paid for with taxes.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What are you on about? At what point did I suggest anything like that?

Don’t bother engaging with this person. They are a bad-faith Nazi.

[-] Raxiel@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I don't understand what the problem is

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

WTF?! The marketing department at Wendy's is trying really hard.

[-] prole 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This has to be a clever anti-consumerist guerilla art piece, right? Please?

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I could also imagine a local burger joint doing this as a novelty item, but not Wendy's

[-] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

A local joint in my area did something like this last year. A five dollar burger with two patties, and one dollar per extra patty, no limit.

I'm sure in practice there would have been a limit, but we got a lot of burger for twenty dollars that day. It came skewered and served on its side in what I'm guessing was a submarine sandwich tray.

[-] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

I would have taken it home, and have food for days.

Is there really a target market for this abomination?

Given Heart Attack Grill exists, I'd say so

[-] leftthegroup@lemmings.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Man I wish I had time to get there when I went to Vegas.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Kids, the internet tells me that I can get 10 regular Wendy's cheeseburgers for $27.90

So it a $2 upcharge for them to use less bread and pay the marketing team.

[-] Rednow@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Your 10 cheeseburgers don't come with a sick shirt though.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

That's why I would buy it

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 51 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Teenage stoner me would have destroyed that

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago

Teenage stoner me wouldn't have had $30 dollars to spend on that... if i did I was buying another g.

Teenage me had access to $1 Junior bacon cheeseburgers. I have ordered 10+ on multiple occasions.

Paying $30 for one burger would not have happened.

Apparently the Dave's Triple only existed to make the Dave's Double seem more reasonable. And it worked

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

the t-rex exists to make the velociraptor reasonable

Let's be real: how would one eat this? It's got to be fork and knife and that's a burger line that shouldn't be crossed in my book.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

If you want to be real, each patty is about 1/3" thick after cooking. That's only 3 inches of meat, a joke that people need to get on immediately.

There's probably fancy burgers with onion rings on them that are the same size or larger in your hands.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

only 3 inches of meat, a joke

...nobody? Nobody is going to jump on this one? Fine.

That's what she said.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm as disappointed as you are.

I served that up like a 9 patty burger!

that many patties and no bacon? what am I, some kind of peasant? pfft

[-] lapommedeterre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Is this safe for my pet T-Rex to eat? I don't know if it's too much sodium.

My partner and I would get that and buy a pack of buns and have burgers for a week

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

$30/9 is $3.33 for just 1 cooked patty and cheese. So each of these DIY burgers of yours is maybe $3.50 -$4

How much is just a single a Wendy's cheeseburger? Edit: looks like under $3

So marketing scam confirmed.
