Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

With how expensive fast food is now, you might as well just go to a slightly more expensive place and get a higher quality burger or whatever.

I used to love Wendy's and went to Wendy's a little while ago and just got a burger no fries nothing else and it was like 9 dollars. I was blown away and never want to go back. All these cheap chains jacked up their prices and saw temporary profits but then customers realize it's not a good deal and stop going. Late stage capitalism really sucks.

A lot of sit down restaurants are about the same quality as fast food used to be and twice as expensive. It's just not worth it to eat out

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

That hasnt been my experience at all. If I go somewhere for 2x the cost of fast-food, the quality is usually far ahead

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 4 points 4 months ago

Of all the fast food restaurants, I still go to Wendy's like once a year. And you aren't kidding. The 4 by 4 shrunk, and before, it was $4, but now $7.

The one-use app coupons brought it back down. But f that noise.

It's still cheaper than the average lunch in my city, where meals cost $12-15.

Wendys has the best deal on a meal that I know of, if you are really hurting. You can get the $6 bag which is about 800 calories plus drinks. You could technically survive on $7 a day there if you drink a few drinks while there.

I looked it up, and assuming I'm looking at the right one, the price and availability differ depending on location. I'd be kind of surprised if it's that cheap where I live.

I'm in the U.S but some states have extra taxes and stuff. I'm in a poorer part of the U.S
