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
no wait please come back teach me your ways
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.
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!
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.
Not to mention that the “date” was to McDonalds.
It’s an incredibly cringey thing to do on a first date. Like he’s a Tim Robinson character.
I would marry you, if I where a girl
you don’t have to be a woman to marry a man!
Are you assuming the scammers gender ?
Idk what s going through the girls head, or Wlis for that matter, but this would be a win for me
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?

ofc people are saying OOP is in the wrong 🙃
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.
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.
Ok McDonald’s
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.
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.
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.”
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
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.
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.
Me, disabled and just wanting someone to be with: side eye
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?
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.
Besides. Fucking mcnuggets?
No, they’re for eating.
Questionable date food, but otherwise they’re fine.
Gonna need a normal emulator…
Find someone who appreciates you, chicken nugget wizard
