Explaining war to an american: So imagine a Mcdonalds
The current yearly burger consumption of America is 9,343,161,756Ib of hamburger
For context, there are 38,229,212 Ukrainians
Lol even KyivPost does the “How to talk to a burgerlander” meme
How many football fields is that?
ANYTHING BUT THE METRIC SYSTEM
25,000 missiles and drones have the same amount of energy to power 7,600 Cybertrucks
160,000 buildings were damaged in Gaza (a city as big as Detroit) in the last year, there are 190,000 franchised fast food establishments in the whole of the U.S.
they really can only measure things in burg

Conclusion: Russia should fire missiles at every McDonalds in the US
Are they saying that Russia has launched too many missiles or that USA has too few McDonald’s?
Yes
Waiting on to create rocket-deployed McDonald’s
xDDD now do cambodia north korea or vietnam
“Every missile they launched is the same”.
It’s like the Israelis claiming “Hamas launched thousands of missiles at Israel” when most of them are intercepted and the ones that get through barely cause any damage to property let alone life.
Meanwhile, Israel is dropping 2000lbs bombs on Gaza. Entire buildings turned into rubble, massive craters.
Okay but what if I expected there to be like 4 times as many McDonald’s in the US? That actually does recontextualize how I think about Burgerland.
There’s actually significantly more Subway restaurants
They’re weeds
wow is that true? do people go to subway that much?
is subway like the biggest minimum-wage employer? are subway employees the ripe vanguard of the revolution?
The answer is basically subway takes very little space, very little staffing. Super cheap to run and setup.
I think cheaper franchising costs is part of it
For context,
ah, it’s for context
that makes it not one of the funniest things I’ve seen then
and yet, McDonald’s has killed way more people than any Russian missile. probably a single McDonald’s by itself has killed more people than half of those missiles combined.
Ukraines war effort is like a broken sundae machine and crimea is as out of reach as a burger joint without a drive-thru
Logistics machine 🅱️roke
This reminds me of that BadEmpanada video titled something like “explaining the Iraq War for Americans” where he used burgers as a metaphor for everything the US stole from Iraq, except BadEmpanada did it as a joke.
