Anyone here who wants pro dating moves for 2024:
Have the ability to change your sheets right in front of your date, at least twice.
Own towels, not just one towel but sets of towels. Like an adult.
Have soap & toilet paper & hand towels in your bathroom(s)
Basically having a stocked linen closet will go a long way.
Also try being rich and fucking hot.
A well stocked fridge will get you women, this is understood.
I’ve been married for years now, have multiple kids, my wife still makes fun of the fact that when she moved in with me, I had a pack of sausages, and a 6 pack of beer in the fridge…
My issue with buying food, is that when I go to the store my ADHD kicks me in the face, and I don’t know what I need. I’d make a shopping list, but my ADHD don’t allow me to do that. I have to submit papers for the chance to get evaluated if I need adhd medication, but my ADHD stops me from doing that today, because the deadline doesn’t exist
A trick i use is having google home devices. When i notice im out of something i just tell google to add it to a shopping list. The real trick is remembering to check everything off when im shopping lol
less necessary in my experience tbh, I’d substitute that for a date to the grocery store to buy things to cook them dinner.
I’d also like to throw out here this isn’t just targeted at men for women, if you want to be seen as an attractive partner show that you’re competent and capable.
It’s a classic humor video

There’s a bunch of context missing from this. Did he tell her hey, I know a cool way we can get free McNuggets? Or did he just ask her out, took her to McDonald’s and randomly pulled out a laptop with android emulators to get free McNuggets? Context matters a lot.
If it’s the second one, it’s giving me these vibes: :
Same. I just watched this episode 30 minutes ago too
What show?
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Is that Jake on the ground? Lmao
Yeah, it’s flashback where he took a girl on the cheapest date possible, which involved stealing snacks from a vending machine. He immediately got stuck and the woman left.
AAAAAND now I remember the episode, tyvm
I’m a tech guy. I dont mind the occasional redistribution of wealth from corporations. I can even appreciate exploits found in the wild like this or doing hacking when it doesn’t hurt people.
What this signals, though, is that you are cheap. I side with the girl on this. It’s a date. Pay for the meal and show her you can be normal first.
Split the check. It’s 2024.
How is it still expected for men to pay in this day and age. When I’m on a date I’m looking for an equal partner, not a dependent.
Me, disabled and just wanting someone to be with: side eye
IME it hasn’t been expected in some time, at least from me. If I invite someone out on a date, I’m usually offering, but I’ve definitely had many split checks and a few that paid for the whole thing.
Yea wow women are so equal in this game and have to chase men suddenly it’s so 2024 wow that it’s like that ever or has ever been
Pay for your own food you bum
I always do?
Yes, he was trying to come off as a cool hacker, but that’s not why she’s brushing him off.
It’s because he said “I’m in.”
Eh, I dunno why everyone is so negative about this. A knowledgeable person, free food, and (I suppose the critical point) I’m into this stuff too, so fuck yeah let’s go. And whipping out that knowledge boner on the first go? Shit, setting the bar kinda high. What’s in store for next time, gonna joyride in a new car after you take control of it remotely? Oh just take me now, I’m ready~.
Just gotta remember to torch it after, evidence is a bitch. Or so I’ve heard. Ehem. Anyway… nuggets, not a big deal, but knowledge is sexy af.
There’s “I don’t care where I go as long as I have good company” and then there’s “I’m going to scam mcnuggets”. Yes it’s a neat trick and it’s free but that better not be the main part of the date.
If you had already eaten, and then donated the free nuggets to a homeless dude, that would be good.
You can do both, though. And I mean, remember when a double cheeseburger was $1? Or when 10 nuggets were $5? A big mac meal was $6.50? How much are those now?
Fuck the greedy corpos. As far as I’m concerned, it’s fair game. I’ll add a 4th order for the homeless dude outside.
Ok McDonald’s
Conversely, this is a great way to filter out normals who want to pay a corporation to prove how rich they are. You just gotta be yourself and you’ll get the person that’s right for you.
Yepp… great Filter.
“Hey, wanna come up to see my 3D printer” worked for me.
If they know about the Great Filter, that’s a green flag.
*print
Besides. Fucking mcnuggets?
Questionable date food, but otherwise they’re fine.
No, they’re for eating.
Or maybe, just maybe, we should love people as they are and not make up stupid societal bullshit to follow for an indeterminate amount of time. I get you don’t want to let out all the crazy before you know someone, and maybe this really is too much up front and your point stands. But I don’t think it’s that grevious. Maybe they are cheap, or maybe they wanted to show how skilled they are, or maybe they thought “this is really cool to me, I hope she finds it cool too”.
Either way it’s clear she’s not a fit for him. But that’s kind of a stupid note to end things on. I hope he finds someone more tolerant and understanding that takes an interest instead of being judgy and “weirded out” by essentially a hobby.
Nah. Being cheap is a frustrating personality trait.
Source: obsessively cheap, penny pinching father. Just pay for the damn nuggets like a normal person.
Maybe he’s not cheap at all. Maybe he just wants to stick it to the Man in small ways, with 30 nuggies as a reward for his hard work.
Yah this isn’t something you break out on the first date, you really have to get to know the person and learn what their social views and politics are before you try to “subvert capitalism at the nearest mcdonalds.”
I mean, good tho that he learned early. It’s just too bad he’s going to get a billion messages asking how to do this trick exactly and McDonalds Corporation will have to patch their kiosks.
We can’t have nice things.
If this is the kind of thing he likes doing he should absolutely do it on the first date and find out they’re not compatible right away instead of wasting time on someone that thinks he’s weird. Why delay the inevitable?
On the first date literally everything “not normal behaviour” is somewhat “dangerous”. You’re looking out for red flags and don’t hesitate to end everything before it begins. Instead of conversations about why someone did something it usually just ends, so the time he does this is devinetively something. In a relationship he probably would have gotten the possibility to explain himself.
Man, y’all are no fun if you think something silly like using a few emulators to take advantage of McDonald’s new account offers is so “not normal” that it constitutes being “dangerous”
Yea, dangerous is a bit far. It’s dumb as fuck for a first date tho just based on it being McDonald’s. Who in their right mind makes McDonald’s a date at all, let alone add in multiple fuckin emulators just to get a bunch of shitty, stale nuggets.
Sure, I guess. I still think the reaction in some of these threads is pretty extreme for a meme post in a meme community, especially since the original meme doesn’t even make it clear if this was for a date at all.
Gonna need a normal emulator…
Or donate the value of the meal to her favorite charity
I just need to share that this series of images caused a wild multiple-hour-long argument between two autistic people in a group chat I’m in, one complaining about the undue work caused by the 3x10 McNugget orders, and the other saying “nah man its fine plus this is awesome it means the guy is trying to be frugal!”
I’m talking thousands of written words poured into argument for or against this individual’s actions, sourcing expert testimony from friends and relatives that work in fast food, and even harsh words questioning individuals’ respect for fast food workers. I’m honestly surprised nobody left the group chat because of this late night battle of wits
This is the kind of nerd sniping I’m here for. Invite them to Lemmy. 🍿
I think it’s worth noting that my local McDonalds only serves Mcnuggets in packages of 10. If I order 40 Mcnuggets, they always give me four bags of 10.
Showing off tech skills, sticking it to the man, and getting chicken nuggets? You’re great and dodged a bullet with that girl. Find someone who appreciates you!
Back in my day, we’d hack the local convenience store without computers. Walk in, stroll to the fridge, put cold beers in the inner pockets of the jacket and then walk out.
For some weird reason this also didn’t impress the girls. They’d rather hang with the affluent fuck boi who paid for stuff with his parents money.
As a straight dude, I’ll date ya Eli. Absolute legend, showing character and something different.
You need to pull an anarchist for this to work out for you.
I personally like not knowing anything about the random dude from the Scruff app. Dates can happen after the hookup if there is some chemistry in the basement.
Basement, truck stop shower, wherever.
The bush in a park. Ya know.
Women these days… even a date to McDonalds doesn’t impress 'em.
ba da ba ba ba, she ain’t loving it
Not to mention that the “date” was to McDonalds.
How to class it up:
- Display tech proficiency
- Donate to her favorite charity
- Share ill-gotten nuggets
- Kick the second date up a notch and go to Arby’s.
“You know what I and Arby’s have in common? We have the meats.”
What are you, Klingon?
Well that’s one way to make her squirt.
Explain how this works. I would like some nuggies.
I’m assuming they are just spinning up new Android VMs to install the app on so it looks like a first time install and eligible for some free nuggets promotional.
This is exactly how it works, although they’ve started trying to give you different deals ($1 instead of free, only works on second purchase, fries instead of nuggets, etc)
The app will ban both your IP and MAC address if you use it too many times, so make sure you can either create a new one (via a VM) or randomize it. (Via a custom ROM with MAC randomization enabled)
Don’t ask me how I know.
Set up a simple router on a raspberry pi and connect it to tor, reconnect as needed.
Don’t ask me how I know.
😏😏😏
So, how did you find that out? 😏
Friend and I tried it a couple years back.
His phone is now permanently banned from the McDonald’s app for life.
You don’t actually need VMs, you just need alternate accounts on the app. The McDs app is stupid in the way all apps used to be and it doesn’t check for unique device IDs or anything before letting you redeem the same offer on a different account w/ same device.
I would marry you, if I where a girl
you don’t have to be a woman to marry a man!
Well yeah but he is into girls (based on his tweet)
Are you assuming the scammers gender ?
OP said it was a man in the title
Uuhh. Ooh HHH
I can’t say you’re right so I’ll nitpick ok? That was op not the Twitter poster
The screenshot of the break up text refers to the tweeter as being a guy.
She’ll be thinking about you in ten years when she’s got three kids and both parents are working two jobs each to pay their rent.
Here’s the link if anybody was looking for it: https://xcancel.com/rats7/status/1860039193201881356
ofc people are saying OOP is in the wrong 🙃
NOOO THIS WILL SURELY HARM THE WORKERS IN SOME WAY!!
The store literally loses nothing for this. It’s just head office.
