    McDonald’s definitely does not infuse the cleaning liquid lol I use to work there. It’s just the smell of the fries and all the fried food. I use to reak of McDonald’s when I left. My uniform smelled like McDonald’s no matter how many times I washed it. It was disgusting.

    I own stuff that I don't want but I need to impress people I don't like but I need to give me a job, one that I don't like to buy stuff that I want but I can't afford

    Ah, the Domino Effect of Consumerism, my friends! Picture this: You're scrolling through your feed, you see an ad, and you think, "Ha! Like that's gonna work on me!" But let's not kid ourselves—there's a catch in this cosmic fishing trip.

    So who bites first? Often it's those on the lowest rungs of society's proverbial totem pole. They're the first domino to topple, and when they do, they make that product look like it's the answer to life's every woe. You start seeing it everywhere—on Instagram selfies, YouTube unboxings, you name it.

    Now, the next tier of folks on that social totem pole starts to wobble. They see their neighbors, coworkers, or that random guy from high school flaunting the latest "life-changing" gizmo. FOMO kicks in. So they get it, they love it, they flaunt it. Another domino falls.

    And thus, the cycle continues, climbing the social ladder one rung—or shall we say, one domino—at a time. Before you know it, that "silly" product is a cultural staple, and you? Well, you're standing in line, cash in hand, ready to knock over your own domino.

    So the next time you say, "Ads don't work on me," just remember: you might be a steadfast domino now, but the line is long and the push is coming. Prepare to topple, my friends! 😎🎯🔥

    As a manager for McDonald's, I can tell you there isn't any fry or burger scent being added to cleaning products. We use the same ones that 99% of restaurants use, lol.

    I'm avoiding ADs by using these:
    *YouTube Vanced app
    *Adblock PC
    *Adblock Android

    The only place where I can see ads on PC/smartphones:
    *Facebook
    *Instagram
    *Downloaded Free Apps/Games

    I think I’m a shopping anomaly 😂 , bogof that’s a con , when on occasions it’s cheaper to buy them separately 🙄. Taking the 1p off an item , it’s like 🧐, give me the 99p you keep the penny, now we are talking. 😂.

    Its funny tim hortons did the exact opposite of many of these, they use harsh cleaning chemicals, they made their food smell like eggs to the point it just smells like sulphur, their menus became a mess of a hundred different text menu items with pictures that never match and upped their prices in large amounts

    In sapiens by yuval noah harari he talks about first and second degree chaotic systems, the first where knowing about the system doesn't affect it, the second where knowing about the system causes the system to change state. We are all second degree systems, because consciousness changes its ability based on the information it takes in. Knowing about these immediately makes you less vulnerable to their effects, so thank you for the vaccine against the information hazard. Awesome channel man! Thank you!

    If there weren’t idiots who bought ѕhіt in ads, we wouldn’t have the amount of free stuff that we have. Also some really good ѕhіt might not have been suggested by your friends or be publicly liked so advertising is a necessary evil.
