Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I've been ordering delivery since the '70s.
You've been ordering fast food delivery since the 70's? You've been having restaurants deliver your food for that long?
A few places, like New York City have had delivery from a lot of Resturants for a long time, basically since phones went in.
That's fair. I live in Ohio and only a select few stores offered delivery outside of pizza. Other than those if you wanted it you had to go get it yourself or do without.
Yes. It's not like it's a new thing.
Ah yes I remember getting McDonald's delivered to my door as a boy. Or the local Mexican restaurant offering delivery for decades. /s
It is a new thing by far. Fast food companies and restaurants barely ever offered delivery until the past decade. And they sure as fuck didn't have mobile ordering.
Alright, I'm happy for you. We, my family, would regularly order Chinese delivery when I was a kid. And that was many decades ago. It may be new to you, but it's most definitely not a new thing as hard as that might be to believe. Hell, my parents lived in Japan before I was born and had regular delivery there back in the '60s. I'm sorry you're upset at reality, but I'm not sure what else to say. I mean, yeah, they didn't have mobile ordering, but we did have phones back then.
Yeah... Do you not have Dominos?
Yes because I'm clearly talking about fucking pizza delivery which has been around for decades.
Did you even read what I said?
I've had local fast food delivery for years, too. Maybe not McDonald's, but the locally owned and operated burger joints and other non-national chain fast-food places and most regular restaurants have offered delivery for decades. I see another comment where you sarcastically talk about your local Mexican place delivering; but they probably do.
