Reminds me of a Taco Bell building that turned into a really good independent taco place. Retained the distinct building shape, but the food was astronomically better and the service was friendlier.
Yes made with real 100% "Wagyu" beef. It's not bad. But when I'm at Arby's I want hot ham and cheese which isn't even on the menu anymore. $ menu was life.
Maybe I don't understand the definition of straw man properly, but I don't think this is one. It's a response to a metaphor some conservatives have used against trans people that the look of a pizza hut is so iconic, that it'd be rediculous to call it anything else, because it's obviously a pizza hut, no matter what you put inside it. This is a response to that, showing that insisting it's still a pizza hut just because it looks like one to you is absurd. I agree it's a little bit cringy. There's been better rebuttals to it, but I think this still makes the point.
I don't think this was ever a popular conservative argument though. I've only seen it in screenshots of a single highly retweeted tweet with various rebuttals attached. I guess it seems more like just a random dumb argument people decided was fun to make fun of.

Bad metaphor. Unlike corporations, trans people are valid.

Okay, I don't know if you didn't know that, but the building in the picture is originally from a transphobic post:

Feels that fits the message just as well, lol

The best Chinese place in my area for a long time was in an old taco bell.
To be fair we called it China Bell. (It was actually called Chef Ma's)

They don't even have the 5 for $5 anymore either. You could get a milkshake, fries, and three roast beef and cheese sandwichs for $5.

I remember when it went up to $5.55 and I realized that was the beginning of the end

I'm so happy that the person who made this didn't actually know what an Arby's is at all. Have an Arbytrary day

The Arby's card was incredible. Though honestly a shell gas card really isn't much better.

Christ this is cringe. Can we fight for rights without terrible poorly done memes? 🤦♂️

Imagine going to a community dedicated to shitty memes and complaining about shitty memes
