This is obviously a "social media manager" generating "engagement". And look at that, it works.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And what's the bet that most of the accounts they blocked were their own alts?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

They didn't even block anyone; this reply was planned before the first tweet ever went live.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fake, but it made me laugh. Sadly for Jersey Mike's their advertisement, however amusing, won't help as there isn't one anywhere near. Or far. Possibly really far and I'm not going that far.

[–] Just_Not_Funny@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (7 children)

You're not missing anything. They're the worst of the sandwich chains, IMO.

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Subway exists and takes that spot no contest

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quality is about the same if we're being honest, but I can feed two people at subway for the price of one at Jersey Mike's

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm not a huge fan of either place but Jersey Mike's crushes Subway. There's no comparison!

[–] stark@qlemmy.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you consider to be the best?

[–] pezhore@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DiBella's, hands fucking down. Failing that, a sub from Wegmans.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Are those east coast places or something? I've never seen either one.

My hierarchy is Potbelly > Jersey Mike's > Subway. There's also Jimmy John's, but I haven't been to one for a long time because I was boycotting them, but I'll have to give them a try since I found out the company changed owners.

Oh and Quiznos might still be good, but they have so few locations I thought they didn't exist anymore.

[–] pezhore@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Wegmans is an East coast grocery store, but IIRC DiBella's has made it all the way to Indiana.

[–] ThePac@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

One thing I will give them is the one time I went to one the produce was very fresh. Points for that. The bread sucked and the meat was spare.

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I mean, subway fucking exists and the bar is so low at the other ones I'm not sure if put them near the bottom. Look for a local option and check that out is always the better option for food.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I like their Phillies, but that was where Phillies weren't that common. The mall had Phillies too, and honestly I think I liked em better, but Jersey Mike's was faster to get to.

[–] skulblaka@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Jersey Mike's consistently has good Phillies in places that don't know how to make a good Philly. I'm also personally a fan of the club sandwich mike's way. But that's about it. Everything else I can take it or leave it.

Those Phillies though, they keep me coming back to JM's in new places.

[–] SilverFlame@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We just call them Cheesesteaks here

[–] radau@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

You've insulted my entire existence I challenge you to a duel

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This is an insane take. Like fuck corporations and fuck this kind of insidious marketing, but JM's is easily the very top of the chain-based sandwich restaurants

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (3 children)

can we have a lemmy wide rule to not post corporate banter

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where is the issue if it is funny?

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Because it's how we ended up with Elongated Muskrat thinking he's an untouchable meme lord.

I agree it's funny but just like when brands first started doing this it felt like it was a bad idea

[–] joe@lemmy.knocknet.net 18 points 1 year ago

You can't have a Lemmy wide rule for anything because that's not how federation works.

[–] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, a funny is a funny no?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I can't laugh when I can hear the marketing.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is an ad. Not speaking as a mod here, I don't think this post breaks any rules.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just assumed it was fake.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago

It might be, dunno ^^

[–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Idk lots of brands are doing this kind of social media marketing these days.

[–] ziggurism@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don’t get it. Are those toppings controversial? What even are they? Pickles?

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Top as opposed to bottom (receiver of penetrative sex), sub as opposed to Dom(inant).

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And then there is this weird in-between that is the power bottom - the top of the bottoms.

[–] scubbo@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A common misconception! Bottoming is not synonymous with passivity, only with receiving. One can be a dominant bottom, or indeed a "power bottom" who is the one actively providing most of the energy.

(No I am not going to quote IASIP)

[–] Legendsofanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] scubbo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", a show which has an oft-quoted bit about power bottoms.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It's weird to me that people find this concept weird or difficult to understand. It's so not.

Even seen straight porn where the woman is the more active participant, more fucking the man herself than being fucked by him? It's literally just that, but both partners are the same sex (usually; technically you could call the woman in my example a power bottom too, but nobody does).

[–] ziggurism@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ah. Thanks.

[–] Thcgrasscity@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now im hungry for some subs...

[–] Freeanotherday@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Finally a good post in this comm.

The star trek posters are good, folks.

~~Insufficient~~ sufficient data

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

!risa@startrek.website is definitely the hottest meme community on Lemmy.
