adguard for desktop, adguard DNS inside your VPN on your phone.

Load adguard for desktop with anti-adblock killer and fuckfuckadblock. And use brave browser with fingerprint and ad blocking set to aggressive and strict.

I very rarely get any bullshit notifications like this.

pineapplelover ,

Went to some kind of restaurant chain once (red robin I think?) and there were ads as we were eating.

pikmeir ,

Yeah they put ads on that little screen you use to pay. Also it never has any receipt paper loaded.

asdfasdfasdf ,

optimal performance

WTF

superfes ,

I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more...

Maeve ,

And act like they’re doing youthe favor, to allow you to politely hand them your hard-earned peasant pennies.

frezik ,

They don't want some of the money. They want all of the money.

You heard KFC no secrets allowed from them and from you. Open the cookie wall you must be tracked.

werefreeatlast ,

What you really want is an air fryer! Dude it's actually such a good kitchen tool for cooking. It's slower than microwaving but you get more crisp fries or other food and less burnt fries or other food than with any other method.

kratoz29 ,

Man, what is it with KFC and their "security" staff, I think I've read it even has issues when it detects root or something, no one wants to steal your chicken bruh!

Klear ,

Your adblock sucks. There are ads everywhere on the picture.

AnActOfCreation OP ,
@AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

If you mean the chicken, it's hardly an ad since I navigated to their site. 😆

fne8w2ah ,

Even more enshittification of the Internet ffs!?

TheAlbatross ,

While this is egregious, why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

I didn't know that was even possible. This is a wholly unexpected mode of behavior.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

Well its not going to be on BK dot com.

EdibleFriend ,
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

Can you be sure? Has anybody here ever taken the time to really look? We are making some very dangerous assumptions here.

KnightontheSun ,

Why don’t you come over, Friend?

We’d like to have you for dinner…!

EdibleFriend ,
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

Hmmmmm

Lifecoach5000 ,

You know they used to say you could have it your way. If I want KFC from BK they should live up to their end of the bargain and oblige.

Steve ,

Jesus Christ Marie, Use the fucking app!

Chozo ,

why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

Delivery, most likely.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

For KFC chicken? In America?

Chozo ,

Yeah, most fast food places here have delivery options now, usually partnered through UberEats or GrubHub or one of those apps. At least in the cities, they do.

Otherwise, they also will typically let you order online so you can schedule it to be ready when you get there to pick it up, yourself.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

My point is KfC chicken really isn’t the best choice these days

Chozo ,

I agree, I'm not a big fan of most of their menu these days. Though, their Famous Bowls always hit hard.

ares35 ,
@ares35@kbin.social avatar

even here in the boonies we have doordash now.. just as expensive as in the city, and just as cold whenif you get it.

and i think you can still pay a one-way taxi fare and have them pick up an order and deliver. it has to be ready, waiting and already paid for--they won't wait. this is the cheaper option, because you're paying menu prices. not third-party 'app' prices plus bullshit fees and surcharges. fare is about 5 bucks anywhere in town.

567PrimeMover ,
@567PrimeMover@kbin.social avatar

Yeah just get it from the gas station like a normal person

dan ,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

I went to a Krispy Krunchy Chicken at a gas station while travelling a few months ago... Gas station chicken has no business being that good.

Maeve ,

Omg especially when they let it sit and it’s extra spicy!

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

God no, that's a great way to get food poising

Maeve ,

They’re graded like any other restaurant.

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

To each there own I suppose. I personally won't do that. At least not in the US.

Maeve ,

A gas station several miles away makes amazing tasting food. I’m sure the fried chicken is fried in the cheapest transfat oil, but I’ve largely moved away from meat. I still eat it but I feel better when I restrict it. They also have baked chicken, meatloaf, etc and the veggies are slamming. And it’s not always cheaper anymore, to do it yourself, unless you catch a free ride that day and exchange your time.

const_void ,

Delivery

Wouldn't want to have to move your body to get your artery clogging food

Maeve ,

Some of us live in rural areas with No transport, including public.

eskimofry ,

If you live in rural areas you probably have better chicken than crap from KFC, no?

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Then how do you go places?

Efwis ,

Walking or asking a friend if they have time, usually at a cost of some gas.

Maeve ,

Bike, walk, pay too much in time, money, effort, etc, or make friends and catch your rides when you can, understanding it may come at a mutual inconvenience.

567PrimeMover ,
@567PrimeMover@kbin.social avatar

If I move too much the grease doesn't congeal the way I like it

Duranie ,

An irritating number of companies make it inconvenient to just view a menu, and want you to "Start your order!" to see prices and availability. I get that certain items are regional so entering a zip code makes sense, but if I just want to look at a menu and prices to see if I even want to do business with them I shouldn't have to create an account.

That said, for convenience purposes I'll occasionally order food online or over the phone so it's ready by the time I'm driving past on my way home and pick it up.

TheAlbatross ,

I often feel I'm stuck in the 90's when it comes to ordering food. I like calling a restaurant, I like driving to pick it up myself, I like asking them shit about the menu over the phone.

I'm a human being, yo talk to me, don't just tell me to go to the app or the website.

And before anyone beats me to it, yeah I'm angry at that cloud.

Duranie ,

Human? I thought you were an albatross. 🤨

AnActOfCreation OP ,
@AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

Despite the title, I was just trying to check the menu lol. 🥲

Annoyed_Crabby ,

That 11 herbs and spices is probably not a secret anymore.

Pronell ,

You are correct!

Atelopus-zeteki ,
@Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run avatar

No longer a secret:
The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows:

11 Spices – Mix with 2 cups white flour

2⁄3 t salt
1⁄2 t thyme
1⁄2 t basil
1⁄3 t oregano
1 t celery salt
1 t black pepper
1 t dry mustard
4 t paprika
2 t garlic salt
1 t ground ginger
3 t white pepper

Please eat less fried foods, for your own health.

corus_kt ,

Amazing, had no idea this was ever revealed!

Feels like nobody cared because current KFC is so average to bad quality. No point stealing that recipe outside for laughs/nostalgia.

Piogre314 ,

Chicken Grease Salt

Holyginz ,

Honestly I doubt they use anywhere near that many spices anymore.

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@kbin.social avatar

Sorry, best I can do is never visit your shitty website again. Guess I'll order fried chicken from somewhere else, or, better yet, make a superior version at home!

cyberpunk007 ,

I just close these types of sites and do something different out of spite.

Maeve ,

Out of more love for myself, than greedy megacorporations.

meliodas_100 ,

Why are you using edge bro use firefox or librefox.

dangblingus ,

They're using firefox...

Blisterexe ,
@Blisterexe@lemmy.zip avatar

What? They're using firefox

De_Narm ,

Ah, achieving optimal performance by letting them run more scripts and displaying more stuff.

kusuriya ,
@kusuriya@infosec.pub avatar

They never said what performance they are optimizing, I'm pretty sure it's profit.

perishthethought ,

Yes, it's for optimizing their experience, not ours. F that BS.

Showroom7561 ,

Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don't deserve to stay in business.

Daxtron2 ,

Soda is a big money maker actually

benhum ,

They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.

eltrain123 ,

So they can sell your browsing habits to other advertising firms and, ultimately, other manufacturers or service providers… so they can badger you with more targeted ads…
