Internet memes that make me slightly more angry than usual!

I used to work in the GIS industry, and what most outsiders don't know is that the majority of imagery on Google Earth et al is taken from low-altitude airplane, not satellite. Only the topmost few zoom levels are by satellite, precisely because the cameras aren't good enough to see the level of detail required for precision mapping purposes.
Actually, I knew that. Of course, that might be because my office does GIS stuff, although I myself only have a limited understanding of GIS.
They contracted out pilots to take photography, and usually the pilot would also sell to Google/Bing when possible. Most counties would usually fly every few years, some of the larger ones every year or two
Sometimes it happens in the opposite order. For example, my office contracted Microsoft/Bing, who subcontracted to another company to do the actual flyovers.
While it wasn't for an entire country, it was around 250km2 / 97k sq. miles... which is the size of a small country, or in our case, a US state.

You do realize what the machetes are supposed to compensate for, right?
An inability to cut through thick plant cover with your bare hands?

I've tried Five Guys back in London - the burger itself was tasty, but they just dumped it together with fries into a paper bag
Five Guys makes excellent burgers — there's one across the street from where I work — but the thing I don't like is that the burgers are more than I really want to eat, and a "small" order of fries is enough for 3 or 4 people. Consequently, you're paying extra for food you don't really want.
a line rivaling the Apple stores
And that, at least sometimes.

Actually, I'm just playing this for laughs.

Come on, it's meat. I'm sure the McDonalds thing is panic for the sake of panic, but I don't think you can get meat to not decompose over months without heavy treatment.
All it takes is sufficient dehydration -- in other words, jerky. And that's what a month-old McD's burger (or any patty that dehydrates that quickly post-cooking) is!
Same thing. "Fuel" isn't the only component needed to facilitate decomposition. Otherwise, refrigeration and freezing things would be a waste of energy.
Exactly -- try growing bacteria in a water-free environment.Bro do you even cook? No natural meat will cook perfectly with only self-contained fat in such a short period of time if no additional fat was artificially injected in it. Also, McD meat gets on the plate straight from the freezer.
On a hot enough grill? HELL YES IT WILL. Take a quarter-inch thick slice of raw beef and try to cook it Pittsburgh rare (or black and blue, if you see it that way), and watch as you get well-done instead.

Come to Kraków for the next Wisła vs Cracovia match and see for yourself. Just don't forget your machete.
Right; to fight through those thick Krakow jungles.

Now I'll just wait for Blakey to call you out on that leap of logic. That's gonna be fun...

Are we... approaching the Godwin threshold here?

It's only a leap of logic if you've never been to Poland.

I'm, uh... guessing it has something to do with Polish hools calling each other Jews as an insult? I think?

Yeah, but they spell "bread" like "chleb", which is way wrong.

You, on the other hand, are the guys who thought "pineapple" makes perfect sense.

We don't even have the second u! How wrong are we doing it then?

The "X ALL THE THINGS" meme upsets me because I saw the original story on haah before I ever saw the meme version.

Looks like a pinecone, tastes like an apple. Vaguely on both counts. I've heard worse names.

I didn't get to weigh in on that decision, sadly.
-
tastes like an apple
What apples are YOU eating?
No, actually, "apple" used to mean "fruit" in general, before it got switched to meaning a particular kind of fruit. So it meant "pinecone-like fruit"

Uncooked it's about as thick as a male finger. That's the thing.
¼ pounders yes. Regular hamburgers not so much.
Before they got clamshell grills and relied on single sided cooking, in order to work the grill during rush hours you had to be able to hold 6 of the latter in each hand to place them on the grill quickly - two columns of 6; sufficient for a tray of 12 regular burgers or 6 big macs.
In fact the ability to hold 12 patties was still a requirement when they got clamshells, but that was either 3 columns of 4 or 4 of 3 (can't quite remember..) due to the size/shape of the top platter.

Royal with cheese is bigger in diameter, but thickness is about the same. I think it also depends on how thick fingers you have, and probably what country you're in.In fact the ability to hold 12 patties was still a requirement when they got clamshells, but that was either 3 columns of 4 or 4 of 3 (can't quite remember..) due to the size/shape of the top platter.
Over here it's 8 - 2 columns of 3 and 1 column of 2. I think you could fit 12 if you really wanted, though (but since there are just so many toasters, it's not very practical).

Sounds like retro-fitted mini-clams, unless they've standardised on that size for new-builds - it has been a while since I worked for them...
-
I think it's more of regional variation. I've been working there for only two months, so I don't know much.

TRWTF is McDonald's kicking people out for bringing their service kangaroos!
http://www.channel3000.com/news/Woman-with-kangaroo-asked-to-leave-McDonald-s/31070084
Officer Rich Dahl responded to an anonymous complaint about a woman who brought a kangaroo into McDonald's. Dahl said Tuesday the woman had the baby kangaroo wrapped in a blanket and tucked in an infant car seat.
Dahl says when he confronted the woman she explained the kangaroo was a service animal to help her cope with emotional distress and she produced a letter from a doctor.

Bro do you even cook? No natural meat will cook perfectly with only self-contained fat in such a short period of time if no additional fat was artificially injected in it. Also, McD meat gets on the plate straight from the freezer.
I cook a lot and ground chuck will easily cook with no added fat. Especially so if you are using a non-stick cooking surface. Seasoned steel will also. Technically though, if you want something to cook quickly then you need to keep the fat content fairly low, otherwise it takes more time and energy to render the fat before it will finish cooking.

A machete seems like a poor shovel, similar in nature to eating peas with a knife.

I understand each of those words, but when you string 'em together like that they lose all meaning.

How in the name of TDWTF have you not heard that before?
Who said I hadn't? Stop listening to shoulder gremlins. Or whatever.
