    Does this have the ridiculous dark patterns that Deliveroo in the UK has? “Pay a monthly fee for free deliveries!*

    *We won’t tell you, but you might notice, we’ve now increased the service charge by almost the amount of what you saved on that free delivery.

    I was really hoping to add some fries, a drink and to customize my burger. Not that I customize my burger except maybe take off the pickles or remove the ice from my drink, but it adds to the dopamine factor.

    Practically no vegan options. Very realistic

    It's too fast. There should be an artificial pause while adding to cart or capturing the payment

    OK, this actually worked as advertised. I feel dopamined.

    I just wished the delivery took longer and there was a payment process that longer than an instant. Could have a saved card on file that you could use.

    I need to enter a coupon code for more dopamine. And a loyalty program.

    This is great. I need one for building permits.

    Isn't it just like porn and video games work too. Weird no one thought of it before.

      God damn, the AI-generated pics.

      Well, since it's a site for Artificial Food Ordering, why not use AI images.

      I wonder how Baudrillard would think about all this.

      I actually thought the Reddit context was quite helpful. I wouldn’t have guessed that this would be particularly meaningful for people with a binge eating disorder.

    What??

      Looks like a riff of the fake online shopping site. Kinda funny that the premise could be legit: All the novelty seeking and exploration behaviour and none of financial burden (or in this case, calories)

        I somehow want to make a brick and mortar shop with products with 5-digit price tags and the famous brands, but they're all fake, and visitors can pick and choose all the fancy products they want. They can then go to the cashier and go through a simulation of the purchase of all those products, but walk out with nothing... Or maybe even a receipt so you can look at it and pretend you just bought those things, hah.

        "The keys to the Lamborghini Aventador, and a Louis Vuitton bag. That'll be 350,000 dollars. How will you pay, ah with the made-up cheque? Certainly sir!".

        Charge $40 for half an hour of this sort of entertainment (or more for a virtual chequebook with a bigger account behind it), rake in the bucks...
