You wouldn’t download a chicken tender.
Ah, achieving optimal performance by letting them run more scripts and displaying more stuff.
They never said what performance they are optimizing, I’m pretty sure it’s profit.
Yes, it’s for optimizing their experience, not ours. F that BS.
Even more enshittification of the Internet ffs!?
Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.
Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the “right” thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?
They’re kinda telling on themselves, ‘no secrets’ what does watching an add have to do with secrets, unless they want you to have no secrets from them, and give you all a your data. Then that sentence makes sense. That sentence has some real twist / projection / gaslighty vibes. Why do corporations feel like my abusive ex.
Because they are. They need you financially but they hate your guts too.
why the fuck they need to show you an ad. you’re already there buying chicken
They probably aren’t showing you ads. They are probably inserting trackers to tag you as a person, a purchaser, who likes chicken and is willing to pay for food, for delivery etc. the size of your order may hint at demographics, like family, kids. The address.gives useful data, the type of credit card. What kind of software and hardware loaded the site? Etc etc.
Why make money if you can make MORE money?
That 11 herbs and spices is probably not a secret anymore.
No longer a secret: The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows:
11 Spices – Mix with 2 cups white flour
2⁄3 t salt 1⁄2 t thyme 1⁄2 t basil 1⁄3 t oregano 1 t celery salt 1 t black pepper 1 t dry mustard 4 t paprika 2 t garlic salt 1 t ground ginger 3 t white pepperhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC_Original_Recipe#Recipes or https://www.allrecipes.com/article/what-are-kfcs-11-herbs-and-spices/
Please eat less fried foods, for your own health.
Amazing, had no idea this was ever revealed!
Feels like nobody cared because current KFC is so average to bad quality. No point stealing that recipe outside for laughs/nostalgia.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Honestly I doubt they use anywhere near that many spices anymore.
Very important has to be the thing that I’m doing so that I have to open a browser without ad-block. For most things the close tab button brings me more peace of mind.
I read the pop up in the robotic voice of the Colonel Sanders Simulation Rocket
They block TOR too. I have never had KFC, I was just curious how bad one of those sites was.
Don’t bother trying it. It’s gotten really bad over the years. The chickens have gotten smaller, and now they cut the normal 9 pieces of chicken in half in order to get more out of a chicken and provide extra mechanically separated meat for all the new sandwiches. There are much better fried chicken places around.
It’s not even like the kind of phenomenally bad that you have to try, it’s just the most completely mediocre fried chicken you can imagine. Last couple times I tried it (in laws always order it when we visit for some reason), it’s been soggy with grease, not even crispy, and all the oil stops you from really tasting anything. You might as well just slop some bread crumbs into some vegetable oil if you really want the KFC experience.
aparently even Sanders himself complained about the drop in quality since he sold it back in the 60s
The man was very rigid with how he felt his wife’s chicken should be prepared.
His whole story is interesting. He did not start his chicken endeavors until his late 50’s after an already quite colorful life.
There is a documentary on youtube somewhere and it’s worth seeing.
What are they gonna do, not sell you chicken?
Make sure to update your Ad Blocker settings to include the whole site.
More importantly, why are you eating KFC (unless you’re outside of the US where it’s actually edible)?
KFC in Canada is fucking atrocious. Aside from seeking out the worst staff possible, they have the worst quality food of any fast food places I’ve been to. Every 5 or so years I tend to forget just how bad it is, give them another chance, and something about the meal is inedible. Last time got a chicken sandwich and there was a chunk of the bun that was ultra hard and they forgot to put fucking fries in the bag, so I had a meal of a chicken patty of mostly batter and a mostly water diet Pepsi.
KFC in Japan is actually worse somehow
KFC in the UK is responsible for the only time I got chips (fries) while drunk on a night out that were so bad that I binned them
I’ve been in a kfc in Germany and was blown away how people actually eat that shit. But at the same time, people also enjoy McDonald’s and burger king, so maybe it’s just me
To add on to the list of countries, Singapore KFC is the only fast food franchise where you can occasionally find overcooked blackish terrible tasting chicken. Macs, Popeyes, Arnolds, BK, Jollibee, etc - not even once (yet).
In my opinion even the Seattle KFC is better.
I’ve had the pleasure (?) To eat KFC in the US and in Europe. Besides the fact that it was junk food either way, the European version was just so much better.
I can believe that in its distant origins, KFC was actually tasty, but right now I’d sooner enjoy being punched in the stomach than eating there (a similar statement is true by replacing KFC with McDonald’s or Burger King or several other fast food chains, though for only these three I’ve tried both US and EU versions of these products)
KFC in Australia is pretty good. It’s no Popeyes, but it’s not bad.
I live in the USA now and while most KFCs I’ve been to here are pretty bad, there’s one KFC near me that’s strangely pretty decent. Chicken is always hot and fresh and they never make any mistakes with the order. I just wish they’d bring back the potato wedges since the fries are horrible.
The chicken sandwich at KFC is pretty decent too.
Honestly, does anyone ever read any pop up ad? I immediately have the emotion of hate that there is some annoying window blocking what I am trying to to read. They are lucky I just tune out what the hated window is telling me.
We should elect government people who would regulate the ads on everything. Ads can pop up. Ads can’t auto play. Ad can’t be bigger than this.
We are getting to the sucky part of capitalism. Ads on everything.
Do you really want a bunch of people who don’t know how the internet and general tech works, along with massive corporate interest, regulating ads?
EU has so far proven to know how the internet work and has been able to properly regulate it, so for my part yes. I would be delighted to see EU regulation on ads. But I don’t know anything about your government, maybe the really don’t know anything about tech but the EU government surely does.
Vote in younger people and vote in educated people. And yes government CAN work for us and do good things. You have to vote for people who would do that.
Did anyone see that Biden’s bill gave more funds to the IRS. They hired more people to help us, and go after the rich tax cheats, and are making a free government online filing system. Also the TurboTax company are complaining about it…and the rich, and Republicans.
I also would like government healthcare.
I always said if I was ever given supreme executive authority, I would outlaw ads and then immediately step down. It would be my one move, and the world would be better for it.
I like how you didn’t limit it to online ads, so you’re talking about outlawing billboards etc. as well.
You are allowed to put a sign on the business’ actual physical location - and that’s it.
But, then, how will I know about that product that I don’t need and will never buy, that is literally on every shelf in every store? (/s, in case that wasn’t obvious)
We’ll transmit that information to you via Neuralink™.
We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.
If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.
Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don’t have time when I’m working to figure these things out.
Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!
Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don’t deserve to stay in business.
They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.
So they can sell your browsing habits to other advertising firms and, ultimately, other manufacturers or service providers… so they can badger you with more targeted ads…
Soda is a big money maker actually
Nice, they’re worried about losing ad money and analytics over losing more money by selling what their whole business is about.
Well, I’m sure you can buy delicious fried chicken elsewhere at a local joint (those people won’t block your ads)!
