I believe that Ronald may be made of asbestos

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 17 points 5 months ago

That's funny cuz he tastes like lead paint

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 41 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He clearly started the fire

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Maybe. All I know is that Billy Joel and his crew didn't.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Unrelated to the post, but there's an updated version of that song from Fall Out Boy: https://youtu.be/2LkVKCWL0U4

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Fair warning: nobody asked for it and nobody should listen to it. It's terrible.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean I figured that out when they said Fall Out Boy.

Plus, why would listen to that version when The Hoff did a version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRUe9xXin4 (It is also awful, but I mean that's obvious. It's David Hasselhoff.)

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fall Out Boy slander will not be tolerated

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I speak only in great truths.

One of those truths is that two string quartets have thought it was a good idea to cover that song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djULDN0aubM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD9BaPsHwEc

The correct number, incidentally, is zero string quartets.

Why do some folks have a [+1] after their names?

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Are you using Voyager? That might be the user tags feature that's counting your upvotes per user. You can toggle it in the settings.

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I am, thanks for the info. I just enabled that feature recently and didn’t realize that was part of it. Cheers

I'm an elder millennial and I remember thinking there was a very real possibility that Ronald would be in MY McDonald's at least ONCE when I went there. I thought about that when I was a kid too.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald's had a yellow phone which you could pick up and "talk to Ronald." I was terrified of the idea.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

lol I was a kid then too and I’ve never heard of this. What kind of shit would he say? Was it just a line to the managers office? And what kind of things did the kids say to him? It’s like some kind of help line “My parents beat me and make me wear long sleeves in the summer.”

Or more likely it was just some stupid recording.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

I'm sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn't a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.

It doesn't help that it looks creepy as fuck.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I worked at McDonald's and they had an official Ronald actor visit once, so it could happen.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 5 months ago

I remember a new McDonald's opening in the 80's & both Ronald & Grimace were there. I also remember being angry that day because there were too many kids on the playground.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

"Mac and Me" propaganda works!

[–] rodneylives@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Recently, McDonalds announced an initiative to remove all instances of Ronald McDonald from their stores.

So, Ronald McDonald removed all instances of McDonalds from around him.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The god of hell fire himself. I'd watch the series.

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 8 points 5 months ago

I think you could get a five episode miniseries with an epic arc where Ronald, God of Fire takes humanoid form and finally accepts his sexuality.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The hell is that statue made of that it doesn't even have soot on it?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The same stuff that stops their burgers and fries from ever decomposing, I guess. PFAS?

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Easy: he's made of shitty photoshop

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Our Ronald in McHeaven Hallowed be thy fries

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Thy kingdom come, burgers well done,

You'll be safe under his golden arches

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Turns fire into fried hamburgers!

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 5 months ago

He looks like he's contemplating murdering the person who burnt his shop down.

[–] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Now everybody’s down at McDonalds, they’re down with Ronald McDonald, and now they’re hitting the bottle and everybody cool.

You know how fiberglass is made up of resin and slivers of glass? Well asbestos also forms into slivers...

Fire cannot kill a dragon

It secretly believe in ronald. It's just that I hate him and wish he weren't real.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My child, have you thought about how your the only thing standing between your soul and eternal hellfire is a Quarter Pounder meal deal?

This could become a religion.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

It's so crazy to me which random ass people claiming some connection to divinity get elevated to dios while so many other cheap magicians are discarded.

[–] NaibofTabr 2 points 5 months ago

So I know a guy who was in a band that had a logo involving a crucified Elvis. He told me he once went down to Tijuana and he saw a guy making the famous velvet paintings and he had a bunch of Elvis and a bunch of Jesus being crucified. So the guy I know asked the painter if he could paint Elvis being crucified. He said he almost got chased to the border by incensed Catholics.
