Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

i admit that i used to hit the mcdonalds for breakfast when i was hungover as fuck on weekends. this was back before prices went haywire and i could give them $7 for like a bag full of pancakes, eggs, meat, biscuits, and a giant ass caffeinated drink. i would come home and add some of my own, more quality ingredients, like cheese, maple syrup, butter, and some condiments i like to jazz it up.
there was one like 30 seconds from my house, so it was a sweatpants, hoodie, shades ordeal, get home and then set up my little feast and watch some garbage while i eat some garbage on the couch. it would sit in my stomach like a bag of greasy concrete, warming as it hardens, and i would nap the day away.
when they took away the cheap way to compile that sort of order and doubled the price unless i wanted a McD's brand low-jack installed on my phone where i had to gamify figuring out a cheap food order with the 10% of executive function i operate in hangover status, i just figured out how to do some shit at home with some preparation. like oven tots and other frozen shit, because who cares. i also kind of quit drinking then, which cascaded into me making better food decisions, generally.
mcdonalds and the others that hiked prices on fast food literally did it to themselves. they had an easy mode fucking cash cow and they slayed it. #DemandDestruction
If you can, get a drawer style air fryer. You basically will always have better fried potatoes of any kind at home. One batch of frozen fries or tots for two people takes about 10 minutes to cook so you can multitask a little while those are going
I gotta say I was skeptical about air fryers (“it’s just a normal oven but big, what’s the point?”) but god having one is amazing for some things, cooking frozen potato products is one of them lol
