Why did the whole, deliveroo, uber eats thing suddenly become so popular? Over the last two years any walk down the high street involves having to avoid endless aggressive delivery cyclists in the middle of the street.

How did people get this lazy? Also who can afford to pay constant delivery charges lol. What's wrong with walking or driving yourself to get stuff.

I get that previously you would phone up for your Saturday take away and get it delivered, but now people are getting their lunch and coffee, McDonald's breakfast and alcohol delivered. Its so crazy to me.

Am I missing something? Being unfairly grumpy? Am I shouting at clouds here lol.

Its ruined actually going to a fast food or take away shop, as you end up having to wait ages while they deal with all the angry looking delivery drivers before sorting your order out, it sucks.

Probably right mister Bubble. But here in rural Norway, don't see much of this. No take away options here🤣

You are probably pretty lucky :)

Who knows what's right or wrong in this world.

Fiat world gonna fiat world. (Further) high time preference inculcated by governments during the 'rona where many felt they weren't allowed to go anywhere for fear of being locked up, 'cos the TV said so - solution - 'easy and safe' way to get food and supplies offered by companies working hand in glove with authority in a captured market. The deadly disease™ is gone, but many didn't bother to update their mental software and got lazy. Profit. 🙃😞😑

Good point, it did kick off during the Rona era.. Madness.

100% Bubble - but from a Machiavellian point of view - genius - one can do whatever one wants in a captured market. Morally and healthwise though disgusting imho.

You're not shouting at clouds.

You’re just noticing the silence

where there used to be people.

Fast food is now faster than thought.

And even hunger gets outsourced.

I miss the sound of steps on the pavement,

the little wait, the smell before the bite.

Yes, its just another reason for the lack of human contact, dont go out to do anything, just have stuff come to you.

I think we should all get out more and enjoy meeting people and actually taking part in life :)

Yes, it's a shame that we're writing this from miles away with a smartphone in our hands.

We too preach well but practice poorly.

The shitter things become, the more depressed people get, the more depressed they get, the less energy they have.

Happiness is being a Deliveroo delivery person…

AmberSky 5mo ago

They generally don't look happy lol.

But maybe, they're happy on the inside :)

inpc 5mo ago

Well if not happy they’re at least fit!

AmberSky 5mo ago

But they're all on those e-bikes 😉 which are expensive, god knows where they get them from... But overall they are probably getting fit :)
