Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

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 --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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 heard on one of the dumb podcasts about nothing I listen to that burger king is actually decent in the States? And that a&w is bad? Bizzaro world

Whoever said that is absolutely wrong, Burger King sucks shit. Absolute bottom tier fast food. I don’t know how they stay open.

When is the last time you had it? It went from dog shit to mid at some point in the last decade. McDonald's is way worse imo

Hmm interesting, it has been more than 5 years at the least so it’s possible

As a vegan, I need this fast food struggle session to blossom.

"Don't anyone here disparage Wendy's!"

This is amateur hour. The real fast food struggle session is to pit regional fast food against each other. We need an In-and-Out vs Whataburger struggle session.

Absolutely not, Burger King is in the lowest-tier of the fast food joints, comparable to gas station burgers.

This is my takeaway as well. Currently, between BK, McD's, and Wendy's, Wendy's is just slightly better. They're all so overpriced though, I'll just go to 5 guys or buy from a local restaurant. If I want cheap fast food, personally, Taco Bell is the best option, that, or Cumberland Farms has really upped their food game locally. Get 2 pizza slices and a drink for $4.

It's better than McDonald's for sure. The whopper is a mid tier but legitimate hamburger with all the stuff on it, lettuce pickles tomato mayo ketchup, and most of the time it's pretty fresh

It used to be a lot worse a while back.

But most states now have a Culvers, so just go there. Every other hamburger joint people rave about is HORSESHIT. In n out, so fucking mid. Shake shack, so fucking mid. Five guys, just drink from a grease trap you animal.

Culvers is better than 90% of sit-down specialty hamburger restaurants, and better than 100% of fast food restaurants. And they have bomb salads, bomb fish fry, and BOMB ASS frozen custard.

Accurate but I'll still eat that slop every so often.

95% chance they're a mod here with an opinion that wrong.

Nationwide fast food is universally trash and is broadly acknowledged as such even by Burgerlander standards. You need to get to regional fast food before you have people vouching for them, and even then, a lot of it is tied to regional pride more than the quality of the food if we're being perfectly honest. But most of them are still a notch better than the nationwide franchises.
