Had a dream in college while napping that McDonalds was offering 200 chicken nuggets for $20. I frantically texted my friends that I was gonna take a nap and then we were gonna move on that before McDonalds realized what a deal that was. Then in my dream I walked home and got in bed before waking up for real. The disappointment that followed was possibly the biggest disappointment of my life.
You slept on it and ended up in the bad timeline.
I want to see this made into a 5 minute short.
I’ll only watch a 5 second film of it.
50ms is about the limit of my attention span, take it or leave it
There’s a theory that dreams serve as a sort of simulation mechanism for our brain to think through how to respond to various potential situations. It argues that is why natural disaster nightmares are so prevalent, and why our dreams are so weird (monkey brain does not understand modern society).
Anyways, good for them, I’m glad their brain figured out what to do about hypothetical McWeird.
Someone on reddit commented to the effect that dreams are our brain’s combat simulators. Had just a touch of PTSD at the time and that really, really hit home.
Wow! Guess the commenter wasn’t as original as I thought. Took a poke at finding the original and Gemini spit up a reference to threat simulation theory (TST), which turns out to be a real thing!
That’s an interesting take. Simulation for dealing with life.
I saw the sign
I wonder if it opened up anon’s eyes
Based and acepilled
holy shit if that’s original you win the internet for today
I wonder which voice he heard. The one we hear ourselves, or the one we hear in the recording of our voice.
I was gonna say, I don’t think I would realize it’s my own voice
Had a dream last night that I wanted an iced coffee (i cant have caffiene IRL) and there was a Starbucks, but behind the Starbucks was a McDonald’s (imagine one of those houses that has another house behind it situation).
I went to the McDonald’s for the iced coffee because it would be cheaper, but I couldn’t find it on their menu. They decided not to sell it at this particular location because they were in cahoots with the starbucks.
You guys are interesting. All of my dreams are about fighting God and falling off bridges.
What happens if you have caffeine?
Anxiety attacks, and caffiene makes it so I cant regulate them
Thank you for the answer and openness. I’m not sure of anything specific I can wish you in that regard, but good general luck.
Thanks! Its kinda like having a food allergy :p
Companies try so hard to make their marketing quirky and cool that the “We have it” campaign could totally happen IRL.
It was the McRib.
Except now it’s a real rack of ribs.
I know I’m ready. We’ve never had it in my country, so I want it.
Prepare for disappontment!
I don’t know if my taste buds changed or if the formula changed, but I loved that thing back in the 90s. I tried one a few years ago and it was cloyingly sweet and the bread was stale.
These days I’m pretty much always disappointed on the rare occasion I get fast food (usually while traveling and needing something I can eat quickly) because the bun is always stale. I don’t know if I just got to the point where it never tastes good or if things really used to be better.
The last time I remember it coming through a friend talked me I to trying it since I had not had one since they first came out due to not liking them. He said it was as good as he remembered. It was as awful as I remember, overly sweet sauce and a repulsive texture.
The bread being stale is a store level issue. My bun was fine, just a generic fast food roll like I remembered.
I probably disliked it because of having regular and easy access to good BBQ as a kid, including rib meat sandwiches. Not the best BBQ ever, just way above McDonald’s lame attempt.
Would it actually be classified as food there?
Also would you like to supersize it for only a dollar more?
For a bigger jump scare? What is this, Jack in the Box?
Uhhh, sir this is a Wendy’s.
OK, umm, could I just have a frosty and a baked potato please?
Could be. Could be.
I screamed at the McDonald’s part.

Sounds like something some company would have done in the 2000s. Not McDonald’s, but…I’m getting a Sony vibe. It’s something Sony’s game division would have done.
Mmm yes very wise
Mmm no too reptilian
