Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Why is all the math wrong, and also appearing to be sponsored by Titlemax?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

image references metric calouries - so multiply by 1.60934 to get imperial calories.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

TBH didn't even know that was a thing.

Still wondering how the predatory title loan service is highlighted lol.

Arby's is practically health food cause after you finish eating it you immediately shit out 1000 calories of it.

I'd be interested to see a version of this that excluded "dessert." Just because I suspect some folks might eat, say, KFC but never order dessert in an effort to be "healthy." It'd be interesting to know just how unhealthy it can get even if you skip the boston kreme donut or cheesecake or brownie on a stick or whatever.

I went to lunch with some work people, and a lady on the team got a dessert after that was a thick brownie with ice cream, chocolate syrup, nuts, and whipped cream on top, which she got with a coffee. When the waiter brought it, she asked for some sweet and low for the coffee and he burst out laughing (he quickly apologized).

Looks like some numbers got swapped for Popeyes, should be 1495.

Honestly, some of those are "better" than I expected. I expected the Starbucks drink to be 1500 or more for one.

I wonder which of these is the cheapest and which is the most expensive.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

White Castle is probably the cheapest because the portion sizes of the burgers is so small.

Taco Bell's caramel apple empanada was discontinued 5 years ago and I'm still not over it. This graphic should have a trigger warning.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 3 points 11 months ago

What I'm getting out of this is that you have to eat a heavy meal and follow it up with dessert or something else full of sugar to hit that many calories.

~~McDonald's math is 100 calories off~~

Edit: I was wrong, my phone zoom made the fries look like ~600 rather than ~500, lol

[–] BreathingUnderWater@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

When it's 1500 calories for one damn meal... Does 100 calories matter that much for something like an infographic? That's my entire daily calorie intake in one meal. If I ate that 3 times a day I'd be 600lbs. It's trying to demonstrate a point, that this is an unreasonable amount of calories for a single meal. Also different countries use different ingredients for the same fast food joints so the calories could vary that way. Also x2 depending how long the person making the fries holds it in the deep fryer it could affect the calorie count based on that. Or whatever it is they are preparing.. the amount of sauce or mayo they put on a big Mac could be 100 calories difference, whether they added extra cream cheese or butter to your bagel, or poured more or less cream into your Starbucks latte.

[–] jago@lemmy.cafe 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The 3 McDonald's menu items' calorie values displayed add up to the sum displayed; where is there a discrepancy of 100?
