At Penn State in 1990, we had students advocating for the rights and privileges of a construction hole. (OK, they were really protesting the loss of a chunk of field that was going to be used for yet another "classroom and office building").
In 2024, Penn State students held a vigil for ... a McDonalds. Sigh.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @brainwise I'd laugh, but I don't usually laugh when I'm disgusted at people. ; )
@AskTheDevil @brainwise or... there's no better time!
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @brainwise I am aware, intellectually, that primates laugh at things that are objectively awful, but I have not been able to connect to that wiring in my brain.
I don't think I'm human enough to work all the buttons properly.
But I'll go with "neuroatypical" to explain that.
I also get nauseous when presented with anything that tickles normal people's "gambling" urge. Even "winning" a gambling game makes me feel creepy.
@AskTheDevil @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Wait .. with whom are you disgusted? Free the Hole, or Crying for McDonalds?
@brainwise @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Crying for McDonald's.
I have more respect for people who care about a void or hole in something than McDonald's, which does a lot of sucking.
@AskTheDevil @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Phew. I was hoping that was the case.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN You know you wish you could have been there.
