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 , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

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 , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

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!

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

That’s amazing. I’ll take 4.

Even more enshittification of the Internet ffs!?

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.

Well its not going to be on BK dot com.

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.

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.

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

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 ,

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

Maeve ,

They’re graded like any other restaurant.

possiblylinux127 ,

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 ,

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 ,

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. 🤨

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

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 ,
Holyginz ,

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

@emptyother@programming.dev avatar

How do you reliably turn pages that fast without accidentally grabbing two pages and skipping? Im impressed!

intensely_human ,

Meditation practice helps with this kind of thing.

KnightontheSun ,

That and your king fu skills as you travel the west in the search for your family’s roots.

intensely_human ,

It definitely improves your kung fu. But meditation really only activates super small refinements. You gotta build the kung fu before there’s anything for the meditation to sharpen.

Basically it increases the resolution of your sensory streams. I mean, that’s the lowest-level effect of all that time spent focusing on the streaming present.

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.

Wistful , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Wow that seems painfully slow/tedious. Why isn’t it automatized? I think I saw a robot do like 20 pages a second on a yt some years ago.

prenatal_confusion ,

That would be interesting to see!

This is probably the method that gives you the best quality (deskewing, lighting) without cutting the back of the book and feeding it into a scanner. (AFAIK)

I saw a book scanner similar to this one that used a vacuum to turn pages but otherwise same principle.

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Google have digitised a lot of books using some more advanced tech, though they started out with something a little like this.

cashews_best_nut ,

What happened to that in the end? I heard they wanted to digitize the worlds books and then it just petered out at some point and heard nothing about it. Did they continue or was it spun to Internet Archive to do?

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

My understanding is the project led into Google Books. Google fought many legal cases and ultimately won but their enthusiasm to scan more books seems to have waned. Google basically convinced judges that by only letting people see a few pages, it fell under fair use, but then that meant you didn’t get a giant library because you couldn’t read the whole book.

There’s an article about it here: edsurge.com/…/2017-08-10-what-happened-to-google-…

Also see www.hathitrust.org/about/ which is mentioned in the article.

aeronmelon ,

Do you remember the results of those speed scans? Crooked pages, parts of the document cut off, blurry scans, etc.

It was a lazy method that resulted in a lot of junk data.

Wistful ,
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I think this is what I saw. Not quite 20 pages/s hahah and also a different method.

meliodas_100 , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

dangblingus ,
