    If they ever file for Chapter 7, I will be deeply disappointed if the headline doesn’t read, “Hooters Goes Tits Up”.

    They could have easily turned things around had they listened to demand and created a Femboy Hooters spin-off.

      To be fair, the last time I was there, the beer was cold and refreshing, the tits were adequately plump and on display, the waitress owning them was punctual and friendly, the order was accurate and the wings were pretty darn tasty.

      But I’d much rather go to my local brewery or small restaurant down the street, support local and small business owners, and enjoy a smaller and cozier setting. There’s just so many other options, picking a chain like Hooters isn’t really something that happens often.

      I dont know if it my local sports bar scene, but hooters is not the sluttiest sports bar nor has the best food. I feel like it has all this sexy reputation, it’s weird to bring kids too, but at the same time if you want to go to a bar for boobs there are better options.

    Oh My God! Prepare for a Tsunami of third-rate jokes by second-rate comedians!

    I can vividly see before my mind’s eye a stand-up guy walking up and down the tiny stage, speaking into his mic: “BTW, have y’all heard that Hooters went bankrupt? [Insert punchline objectifying women]”

    If you want the Hooters experience, go to Twin Peaks. The guy who originally ran Hooters runs it.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
