In honor of National Fast Food Day: What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
@GaryPoole: Does Waffle House count?
@thedisasterautist Waffle House fits in the diner category, not fast food. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
@GaryPoole @thedisasterautist Who does make these rules?
I find culture and language fascinating in this way, there is this subconscious gestalt that exists by which we interpret elements of our world.
This is one of the reasons why I love GIF’s so much. The first forms of writing were pictographic. The world now has a unified meta-culture via the internet and mass communication, enabling a new form of pictographic communication.
@NiveusLepus @GaryPoole: Well, Gary made the rules about his question. He asked specifically about fast food. For myself, I was unsure whether or not Waffle House qualified, seeing as how WH is usually classified by the majority of people not as fast food but, as he said, a diner. I asked for clarification so I could answer his question properly.
@NiveusLepus @GaryPoole: The first writing was indeed pictographic, but the foundation was spoken language of some kind. Humans had to communicate on the go, i.e., when they didn't have cave walls, rocks, or sand/mud to draw/etch on/into. The pictographs represented the spoken words/terms/phrases, and later written language was developed therefrom.
