A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As far as we know, there are only taco bells on the planet earth. As far as we know, taco bell is only a taco chain not a secret society masquerading as fast food taco restaurant. As far as we know, taco bell did not organize the JFK assassination. As far as we know, taco bell was not used to feed POWs during WW2. As far as we know, taco bell is not the public face of the order of the taco, a global shadow government that has ruled the realm of man since the dawn of time, deciding who wins wars, who develops technology, and who wins elections.

But they are the favorite to win the fast food wars

Given the incomprehensible vastness of the universe, it’s the height of arrogance to assume that Taco Bell has not arisen in other star systems. The only thing doubtful is that extraterrestrial Taco Bells have visited Earth.

Ah, the Fertaco Paradox!

Also population 100% robots

What do you think will be the first fast food franchise on Mars?

My guess is Subway. Don't need to cook anything and all of the ingredients already have enough preservatives to make the journey.

Are you suggesting that Martians hate fake Mexican food???

I think that may be racist, but I'm not sure towards whom...

There are also no toilets yet on Mars either, so it's probably just as well.

It'd be legendary to be the first person to poo Taco Bell in a hole in the ground on Mars though

As far as we know, this is a shit post.

[–] Azurewrath@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

At some point there will be a race for what fast food chain is the first to go interplanetary

[–] elrondsmith@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

there are not that much more tacobells outside of US

There's at least 1 Planet Hollywood, though. Arnold set it up while filming Total Recall on location.

Russell's Taco Bell

~~As far as we know~~, there are 0 Taco Bells on Mars.

FTFY.

I think it’s a reference to Russell’s Teapot
