This is obviously a "social media manager" generating "engagement". And look at that, it works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And what's the bet that most of the accounts they blocked were their own alts?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They didn't even block anyone; this reply was planned before the first tweet ever went live.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fake, but it made me laugh. Sadly for Jersey Mike's their advertisement, however amusing, won't help as there isn't one anywhere near. Or far. Possibly really far and I'm not going that far.

You're not missing anything. They're the worst of the sandwich chains, IMO.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Subway exists and takes that spot no contest

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quality is about the same if we're being honest, but I can feed two people at subway for the price of one at Jersey Mike's

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm not a huge fan of either place but Jersey Mike's crushes Subway. There's no comparison!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you consider to be the best?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DiBella's, hands fucking down. Failing that, a sub from Wegmans.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Are those east coast places or something? I've never seen either one.

My hierarchy is Potbelly > Jersey Mike's > Subway. There's also Jimmy John's, but I haven't been to one for a long time because I was boycotting them, but I'll have to give them a try since I found out the company changed owners.

Oh and Quiznos might still be good, but they have so few locations I thought they didn't exist anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wegmans is an East coast grocery store, but IIRC DiBella's has made it all the way to Indiana.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

One thing I will give them is the one time I went to one the produce was very fresh. Points for that. The bread sucked and the meat was spare.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I mean, subway fucking exists and the bar is so low at the other ones I'm not sure if put them near the bottom. Look for a local option and check that out is always the better option for food.

I like their Phillies, but that was where Phillies weren't that common. The mall had Phillies too, and honestly I think I liked em better, but Jersey Mike's was faster to get to.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Jersey Mike's consistently has good Phillies in places that don't know how to make a good Philly. I'm also personally a fan of the club sandwich mike's way. But that's about it. Everything else I can take it or leave it.

Those Phillies though, they keep me coming back to JM's in new places.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We just call them Cheesesteaks here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is an insane take. Like fuck corporations and fuck this kind of insidious marketing, but JM's is easily the very top of the chain-based sandwich restaurants

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You've insulted my entire existence I challenge you to a duel

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (3 children)

can we have a lemmy wide rule to not post corporate banter

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where is the issue if it is funny?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Because it's how we ended up with Elongated Muskrat thinking he's an untouchable meme lord.

I agree it's funny but just like when brands first started doing this it felt like it was a bad idea

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

You can't have a Lemmy wide rule for anything because that's not how federation works.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, a funny is a funny no?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I can't laugh when I can hear the marketing.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is an ad. Not speaking as a mod here, I don't think this post breaks any rules.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just assumed it was fake.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It might be, dunno ^^

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Idk lots of brands are doing this kind of social media marketing these days.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don’t get it. Are those toppings controversial? What even are they? Pickles?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Top as opposed to bottom (receiver of penetrative sex), sub as opposed to Dom(inant).

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And then there is this weird in-between that is the power bottom - the top of the bottoms.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A common misconception! Bottoming is not synonymous with passivity, only with receiving. One can be a dominant bottom, or indeed a "power bottom" who is the one actively providing most of the energy.

(No I am not going to quote IASIP)

"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", a show which has an oft-quoted bit about power bottoms.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's weird to me that people find this concept weird or difficult to understand. It's so not.

Even seen straight porn where the woman is the more active participant, more fucking the man herself than being fucked by him? It's literally just that, but both partners are the same sex (usually; technically you could call the woman in my example a power bottom too, but nobody does).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Ah. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Finally a good post in this comm.

The star trek posters are good, folks.

~~Insufficient~~ sufficient data

[email protected] is definitely the hottest meme community on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
