america has always been soulless
money hungry monkeys making physical advertisements like graffiti on a rocky outcrop

>>14041477
A focus on maximizing profits over all other concerns. Elaborate buildings were deemed an 'unnecessary' expenditure.

I just realized that Dairy Queen is shaped like a barn because dairy comes from cows and cows live in barns.

They do it to trick zoomers and millennials into thinking that their garbage fast food is "hip" and "trendy"

It honestly feels like time traveling when you find a fast food place out in the midwest that hasn't been updated to the modern building.

nah most KFCs still look like they're relics of the past
only new KFCs have that style and they don't spend the money to renovate the old ones

>>14041477

I mean if you are looking to giant fast food corporations for the "soul" of america, then you've got your answer right there.

Reminder that the 365 BLACK campaign and its consequences have been a disaster for the McDonalds Company.

>>14041477
Both are shit.

>>14041477
Fast food chains never had soul. You don't understand what soul is.

I bet you've never even been called hun at a diner.

>>14041589
i love how eurofags always post this image of a truck stop town in PA as if all of america looks like that

>>14041477
When they promoted Ayn Rands ramblings to a new scripture, they kinda lost it.

>>14041589
I always think of this music video when I see that image.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmoNwdyQzB8

It got replaced by all the businesses you posted an image of you stupid thundercuck

>>14041589
half of those business aren't even there anymore

>>14041519
>I just realized that Dairy Queen is shaped like a barn because dairy comes from cows and cows live in barns.

cheaper construction and the illusion of some sort of fancy architecture

>>14041589
>tfw most of my childhood memories are of these
if you travel for work as a parent and make your wife and young children come to you, you're a piece of shit

>>14041477
If you think everything on the top wasn't intensely market researched for maximum profitability then I have words for you.

>>14041477
but all the new ones look better.

>>14041834
>make your wife and young children come to you
your mom chose to drive out, anon.
don't blame your dad for her mistakes.

>>14041477
People stopped wanting buildings to look like cartoons

>>14041589
This picture gives me a bit of anxiety. Way too much happening.

>>14041534
This
Blame Chipotle

>>14041873
They all look the same.

>>14041477
>t. still sleeps in a racecar bed

>>14042002
Frankly, they look as differentiated as the older ones. Only the BK looks remotely unusual. The rest are just 'food here' standard designs

>>14041879
>not controlling your wife
ngmi

>>14041477
imagine being the person cranking out these designs day in day out

>>14041477
I just realized the old Burger King is shaped like a castle because kings live in castles.

>>14041477
chick fil a replaced its antiquated double drive through method with superior hyper-efficient single drivethrough

i feel like they are the least changed out of all of these. I can't imagine going to a supermodern looking Arby's. It's a fucking Arby's. I WANT to feel like a slob for going there.

>>14041477
late stage capitalism killed it.

>>14041477
>america's soul is fast food
kek you can't make this shit up

>>14041477
because they realized that people want to think they enter a mansion instead of a playpen.

>>14041589
Dread.

>>14041477
The real answer is that new places get built in a manner that makes it as easy as possible to sell the building if the franchise owner goes bust.

>>14042217
And inexpensive to build, operate, and maintain.

>>14041477
>America's soul is fast food
This better be bait

>>14041519
No, it's because the DQ founder was raped in a barn.

The new architect graduates finally convinced some people with money that the ultra shitty brutalist style is the best. Literally no one likes it except for people who were indoctrinated to like it.

>>14042393
I'm not an architect. I'm a coder but I still like that design.

>>14042421
Design a rope strong enough to support your fat ass and neck yourself.

>>14041598
Most of America does look like that. Have you ever taken a roadtrip?

>>14042016
>t. jealous of my racecar bed

America's soul came from the oppressed minorities.

>>14041477
>tfw my local KFC still has the old style complete with the brightly colored 90s interior

The top designs are honestly eyesores, especially in wealthier parts of towns. I think the bland modern look they're all doing now is bad too but I get why they're trying to look like actual buildings now

>>14043875
>especially in wealthier parts of towns
lol probably why wealthy towns don't usually even allow these.

>>14041589
If you’ve spent 5 hours straight on the road looking at nothing and then pull over to this, which is clearly meant for people who are traveling, it’s comfy as fuck.

>>14041477
We never lost soul. We allowed faggots to take it from us in little bits.

>>14044080
blah blah blah, you're worthless, get over yoursellf.

>>14041589

>>14041594
dude she calls everyone hun

>>14044226
She calls me babe.

>>14041477
Not to nitpick, but this is what an old Burger King truly looks like

>>14041589
My family used to drive through Breezewood on our way to visit family out east every year.

>>14041477
Leftist commies.

>>14041477
Minimalism is pure cancer.

>>14041477
Just realized that pizza hut is shaped like a hut because pizzas originated in the mud huts of Africa.

>>14041570
This is what the culture warriors are fighting for though. They post pictures of cathedrals and victorian buildings as examples of western culture that's being destroyed. because america hardly has any old and actual european architecture, they're stuck defending this >>14044206 so the appearance of their burger kings is the cultural battleground. when really the facade of cheesecake factory means shit, it's still a soulless corporate restaurant that serves salted lard. they're incidentally defending the actual destruction of culture through commerce. But because McDonald's doesn't look like a clown house from the 70s anymore, they're convinced they're defending Notre Dame from being destroyed by communists.

>>14044266
>commies
>billion dollar corporations

>>14044238
That's cool looking, I could chill out in there.

>>14043850
Where do you live? I'm gonna go to that place and wait for you.

Beware of the hamburgler, he's a mean ass dude.

>>14044313
Yes, it's just like Matt Christman says.

>>14044425
this but not sarcastically

>>14041477
The 1960's happened.

>>14042206
>Dredd
FTFY

>>14041589
Wisconsin dells?

corporations don't have souls

What kind of an idiot thinks a country's soul lies in its fast food restaurant buildings?

This is the epitome of how fat and retarded Ameriburgers are, holy shit.

>>14044266
How?

>>14045809
That's how you eurotwats and asian cunts like to think of yourselfs. That's why you come to the USA isn't it? Why are you such jealous cunts? You honestly just can't deal with yourselves can you? Why are you so pathetic?

>>14045809
You're so jealous of America that you can't be honest with yourselves and that makes you very pathetic and useless.

>>14042421

Coders sure as shit don't have the best sense of aesthetics. Especially ones brought up in the world of minimalist UI design.

>>14045898
You wouldn't know. Idiots such as you don't rate shit and I'd get you fired fast, just like I've done to asian types.

>>14045898
It's so funny that I don't give it a second glance.

>>14042604
t. retard who has clearly never been across the country and seen how empty it is in the middle

>>14045895
It's because you have most of the money and few of you alive today know how to use it. You're all too stupid. Henry Ford was a long time ago. Americans won't exist in 50 years.

>>14042325
Euro's actually believe this because they never learn anything about america.
And because the nose tribe pushes it endlessly.
Look at the first post in this thread about America never having a soul despite quite the opposite being true if you look at the country even just 30-40 years ago.

>>14044410
>mahalo
guessing hawaii anon.
>>14043850
Is hawaii as comfy as it looks for the layman? Or is it the kind of place only worth living in if you're a millionaire?

>>14046148
It's just like any tourist destination. Hawaii, Puerto Vallarta, Bali. All terrible places to live because they became dependent on the visitation of shitheads.

>>14046161
I figured as much. Is nowhere really safe from the tourists or do they get into even the smaller neighborhoods?

>>14041589
That diner is aesthetic sleek and clean looking tho

>>14044136
Huh?

>>14041589
>no sidewalk

are you expected to drive everywhere

>>14047077
It's america. Only the poor walk.

>>14041589
>>14044206
Is this peak post-Reagan Americana ?

>>14042421
Degree or self taught ? Good salary ?

>>14047077
Yes. It's a big-ass country founded when the horse and wagon was the primary mode of transport.

>>14045895
>>14045896
Delicious tears.

They're all trying to cash in on the fast casual meme.

>>14041477
loss of a consistent culture.

>>14047233
>They're all trying to cash in on the fast casual meme.
Yeah, I'll *casually* drive *fast* past the square building that stands out in no way.
Fucking stupid.

>>14047077
>>14047089
so honestly true it hurts. the city i've worked in for 6 years is surrounded by white upper class suburbs, then there's a big valley separating it from the nig poor people neighborhood with nothing good in it. everything there is all run down, property is dirt cheap, it's majority black, and all the roads are fucked up there. the only people you ever see actually walking around this city are the cretins that ooze in from public transport because they have nothing valuable to shop at in theirs, just fucking thrift stores, liquor stores, check cashing places and really outdated restaurants run by the cheapest people ever because they opened in spots where the lease is the cheapest.

>>14045895
>That's why you come to the USA isn't it?
I'm visiting the USA for the same reasons I'm visiting the zoo occasionally.
It's fun to see some weird ass monkeys chimping out in their cages.
