How would this work though? You’re not ordering your food via the QR code link, you’re telling the waitstaff. Unless they ask you what price your saw, how are they going to correlate their variable price to a particular customer?

However, this would make it a lot easier to implement “peak pricing”. Their menu could automatically update based on time of day, or day of week, and certainly holidays.

To specifically answer their question: No. There is no state that will allow your family to euthanize someone who currently objects, just because that person, while younger, signed a will stating that was their wish.

I don’t think mrmanager missed your sarcasm. I think they were saying that they enjoyed the movie precisely because it took such an awkward and unpleasant premise and managed to make it funny.

I agree with you both. Damn it was dark, but holy crap was it funny.

That scene at Medieval Times when Carrey does that great rendition of the fight music from Star Trek. “Come hither, so that I may brain thee!”

This would be kinda fun to play with from a “game theory” standpoint too. Unscrupulous people could attempt to maximize their pizza consumption and minimize their capital investment by claiming to not be very hungry and being willing to eat the most common toppings.

Perhaps the app could have a function at the end to “rate” the participant diners? You could pass your phone around one more time and people could assign a “trustworthiness score” to one another.

To be fair, that scene was just as much an attempt to parody the scene from “The Crying Game”, as it was straight up transphobia. But regardless, it doesn’t sit right today.
