"For context, the US has only 14,300 McDonald's"

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

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.

Lol even KyivPost does the "How to talk to a burgerlander" meme

How many football fields is that?

they really can only measure things in burg

xDDD now do cambodia north korea or vietnam

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?

Unlimited mcdonalds on the west

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.

For context,

ah, it's for context

that makes it not one of the funniest things I've seen then

"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.

Ukraines war effort is like a broken sundae machine and crimea is as out of reach as a burger joint without a drive-thru

All other arguments aside, if you are going to compare the two this way, if the US has 9x the land mass as Ukraine, then why is the US sized the same as Ukraine in the image?

Surely it's not to make the image misleading.

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.

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.

Now do Gaza.

Since 2000, Israel has launched 1 trillion chicken mcnuggets worth of explosives at Gaza.

Makes me wonder where in the continental US is furthest from a McDonalds. Looks like some random field in...Wyoming? I don't know US states. Surprised about a lot of the South West though, I thought the desert there would be a lot less inhabited.

Also makes me think about Bigfoot sightings. Look at all these McDonalds. Where's Mr Foot meant to be hiding when he's probably no more than an hour away from Maccas at any given time?

What if Putin bombed all our McDonalds? The horrors! The horrors!

Yeah, uh, that is what happens when you go to war with a major country.

Very impressive, now let's see Paul Allenskyy's strike locations

What.

I don't think the US is only ~5,500,000 km2

Kyiv post moment

It’s wild how the us media “culture” has withered so drastically that i am nostalgic for the days when they aired bold ideas such as “fast food is bad for you”. There was a time where nickelodeon wouldn’t air any shows and display a message that told your porcine children to go outside.

Instead of taking that further fast food is a-okay now. Its fine to be constantly consuming media, and “serious” news outlets are rehashing 20 year old internet memes

I hate america and all americans i wish we would all drop dead

how big is a berder assembly store compared to a missile?

A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now. Except hamburgers. We can compare it to hamburgers.
