"Sir, this is a Wendy's" is unrelated to ordering off-menu. It's a response where someone delivers an overly detailed or unrelated speech in a setting where it is entirely inappropriate—such as a fast-food restaurant like Wendy's. It's a brusque reminder to someone that their current behavior or conversation is out of place and irrelevant to the current context. It is often used when someone is being overly dramatic, off-topic, or unnecessarily complex in a simple or straightforward situation.
- ignoramous 2y ago> unrelated ... inappropriate ... out of place ... irrelevant ... off-topic ... unnecessarily complex This article was none of that and the fact that it was unflagged (by mods or otherwise) puts this subthread to bed.
- nataliste 2y agoNote the original comment: >Can HN moderators explain why and how the majority of anti Israel posts get flagged quickly ? If HN is pro israel, moderators should update the website guidelines to explicitly say that. This is not about this story. It asserts that dang is "pro-Israel" and that HN has a group of Zionists that flag anything anti-Israel. dang stated why these stories get flagged and generally by whom, which had a banal answer. There's not a conspiracy against anti-Israel posts, there's a group of people that want certain hysterical people to stop polluting the commons with their off-topic divisive and histrionic screeds.
- ignoramous 2y ago> hysterical people stop polluting commons with ... divisive and histrionic screeds What a vile thing to say. Oft times the world is a reflection of self, in that, we are what we accuse others of.
