Ronald McDonald

Joe once had a discussion on JADS about when it's worth it to bring unfinished food home with you from a restaurant. During this discussion, he came up with a hypothetical situation for everyone to answer so that he could determine where people draw the line in terms of what they bring home. He started out by asking if you would bring home a single unfinished chicken nugget from McDonalds, to try to test the limits of the smallest portion of food someone would take with them. But when he said this, people kept on saying that they would just eat the chicken nugget before leaving the McDonalds. Then Joe kept on insisting that in the hypothetical you're full and you don't want to eat the chicken nugget, but people kept on refusing to engage with the premise and they kept saying that they'd eat it anyway because a chicken nugget is so small even if you're full. This forced Joe to add an extra detail to the hypothetical, to force them to choose: Every time you eat your last chicken nugget, Ronald McDonald comes to your table and gives you an extra chicken nugget for free as a gift because you liked them so much that you ate them all. But even after this, people kept on refusing to engage with the premise of the hypothetical and kept on saying that they'd eat all the chicken nuggets that Ronald McDonald brought to them.

Joe brought this topic up on the stream after this discussion happened, which prompted the further development of people in chat saying that they'd even bring home a single french fry. From then on, every hypothetical he poses to chat or which chat poses to him might feature Ronald McDonald in some way facilitating the situation which the hypothetical takes place in. A particulary notable one of these was in response to JADS user Bulder saying that he wouldn't want to have sex in the same bed that he sleeps in, prompting Joe to concoct a hypothetical situation where Ronald McDonald knocks on your door and offers to give you a free bed but only if you use it as a separate sex bed.
