the numbers seem to be a bit off

12,000 in 30 years

that about 400 per year

as he doesn't eat those in sunday, which mean he heat about 400 Big Mac in span of 313 days.

thats about: 1.28 Big Mac/day, its quite low.

is that amount of Big Mac per day can really handle his daily calories needs?

Each time he said "Beef" I giggled a little. Beef. Beef. Beef. 

I didn't. :ermm:

 

yeah because corporate always telling the truth...

Pretty sure it's totally illegal to tell lies like that, and what with Americans being so litigation happy (yes, I know that was in Canada), they would be getting sued into oblivion for that ****.

People are unaware that they have long since changed their ingredients and processes, and so continue to demonise their products.

That's like $60,000 of Big Mac's... could have put that toward a house, a fancy car or two... what a waste.

 

Spending money on food is a waste? if it was smoking or something else which is non-essential I'd understand but food?

i dunno where you guys eat your Big Macs (as in, in which country), but in my country the meat is not only certified by the meat producers association but there's also national meat as well, which helps the economy; also the burgers are very delicious but depends on the franchise; certain franchises are more empties and so they have more time to better prepare the burger; others are incredible full at almost all times and so the quality decreases.

 

On Topic: you guys seem to ignore the fact that this man eats only a Big Mac per day, nothing else; that's very low on calories (the generic recommended daily dose is 2k calories for man and slight less for a woman) and it wont make you fat; the only problem is that he's not getting all the nutrients that he need with this kind of food (also the article clearly says that). Having said that last year i worked for a client for a whole week in their organization; there was nothing near to eat lunch, so i went to Macdonald's every day; after that week i was completely fed up of eating that kind of food. :x

 

Variety is great.

If the guy bought 50 bucks in ground beef once, he'd be able to make his own big macs a few times over than the same price he's paying for McDonalds to make it. He spends the same amount of big macs a month that I do in 3 months of grocery shopping. 

One of the guys at work bought this steak dinner thing in a box, and I noticed it said "100% Beef" on it. I was dubious... Upon further inspection it actually said "100% Beef Taste"

 

.. urrggggggg!

Clearly you have not visited McDonald's lately. :p

 

I kid, I kid. 

I was there Sunday -- spent a whole dollar and six cents on a chicken sandwich.

 

And you are lucky if they don't screw that up. :p

I quite enjoy McDonald's. They have turned into a great place (as long as you keep it in moderation). I'm usually there every day in the morning for just a coffee, but the new quarter pound BLT is amazing.

 

Also, here in Canada there are very strict regulations on beef, and that video is 100% true. I know someone who works at a meat processing plant that ships all their beef to McDonald's and that place is as clean as a lab.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.
