I love how you can easily assume he's French

[-] Pissnpink@feddit.uk 21 points 9 months ago

Those smug cooks, making a few dollars above minimum wage.

[-] DrM@feddit.de 76 points 9 months ago

I love QR Code menus, especially when you can order through them.

But I hate when restaurants force them on you. Just give me the fucking choice so that everyone can order in the way they prefer.

[-] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 35 points 9 months ago

Yeah but they can't data track you through a paper menu, and a company choosing to lose revenue?? impossible

[-] DrM@feddit.de 17 points 9 months ago

most of them only link to a PDF containing the menu anyways, they can't track you there either

[-] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

Pretty much any webhosted service out there essentially needs to track ip's (unless they want to be ddos'd), so even the server thats serving the pdf can and will track you

They could even go the easy route and use something like bit.my to do it for them too

This, but unironically

[-] Japan_50@sh.itjust.works 51 points 9 months ago

The boomers are right about this one

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago

I prefer the menu on my phone. I can't be the only one

[-] Japan_50@sh.itjust.works 42 points 9 months ago

While I think your opinion is vile, detestable, loathsome, abominable, and evil, I don't understand why you're being down voted.
Thank you for sharing your abhorrent, outrageous, and revolting opinion as it does contribute something meaningful to the discussion.

I don't know, man, I always hate political cartoons that feel the need to label everything. Like, is that necessary?

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 142 points 9 months ago

It's not necessary. That is why this cartoon has them.

This artist makes cartoons that are parodies of over-labelled political cartoons. He satirizes by imitating his target's crappy form.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

In that case, well done.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 19 points 9 months ago

also if youre reading this and if you're not familiar with his work - the statue of liberty crying is in practically every cartoon as well.

Did anyone check what that qr code in the image points to?

[-] BillMurray@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago
[-] Lun0tic@lemmy.world 49 points 9 months ago
[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 33 points 9 months ago

Should have been a link to their own website to the page where this picture was uploaded.

That would be so meta.

I love people’s absolute moral outrage about scanning a QR code. The same folks crying bc they have to ask for a plastic straws or wear a smal piece of cloth on their face in the grocery store.

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 55 points 9 months ago

It’s a genuine security risk.

Menus aren’t killing the environment either.

[-] yukichigai@kbin.social 24 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yeah, I get wanting to not reprint menus every time something changes, but there are ways to do that which are more convenient and accessible than "scan a QR code to go to a random website and pray you have working internet access and also the site is working and up to date." Y'know, like a damn menu board on the wall. Whiteboard/chalkboard even!

It is a privacy/security issue, not moral. A QR eatery will probably not accept cash either.

I dislike qr menus mostly cuz their websites suck and I often don't carry a phone.

Edit: Let me just add that as a coder my dream is to one day be hired for a really expensive and complex project and to give them a solution that only uses paper.

Paper menus are just full color e ink large foldable ipads that don't weight a thing and are cheap, and have a super accessible interface.

Ah yes, the old "insult everyone involved" gag.

[-] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Wow, the onion is on point these days. I don't know how they can produce satire in today's America.

[-] FatTony@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)
[-] frezik@midwest.social 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The Kelly cartoons are done by a progressive pretending to be a conservative. The Onion often gets hate letters from progressives who think it's genuinely conservative, and more glowing letters from conservatives who think the same.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 20 points 9 months ago

Taking into account that this is the Onion, it's probably aimed at at everyone like the good ol' days.

God I hate the way this dude draws joints on people, elbows and shoulders are jutting out way too much and the people look like weird bony aliens wearing human skins that don’t fit right

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 19 points 9 months ago

Those are crucial features of political cartoons

[-] rabiddolphin@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

I love how lady liberty is crying in all of these

Had anyone gotten the code to work?

Closest thing I got was a Google image search near match for an xvideos qr

[-] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

its not a real qr code,
there is no timing pattern between the 3 big squares.

there has to be a black and white alternating pattern between the inner corners of the three squares, that afaik is used to determine the size of pixels while scanning.
