This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen The Map Rating Restaurants Based on How Hot the Customers Are www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/d...

Isn’t this a culinary version of how Facebook started?

For the generations brought up on the paradigm that acceptance by your peer group is paramount, this is a useful resource.

At first I thought, well...it might be nice to know which restaurants have good AC with this weather.

Personally I don't need air conditioning everywhere I go. This map would help me choose a place to eat on a very hot day. Clearly it shows the locations without AC. Why else would people be hot?

Can we have a map of restaurants that are owned by and/or frequented by Republicans, so we can avoid them?

This looks like a map of where to find terrible food and terrible people in the same place.

A bright, cynical, young man starts with an idea he thinks is amusing and ridiculous, and ends up profiting from other’s stupidity and superficiality. I guess this is how you slip on a banana peel and end up on the dark side.

Well…. Have you listened to congress lately? But yep- it is a sign of our moronic priorities. Of course, I feel like that this every time I look on Apple news and see some comment about a kardashian right next to political news. I just rewatched “Broadcast news” - it was great. very prophetic.

This is a map of where I would have spent my money when I was younger, and my friends too. It’s an economic tool. Stupid, sure, but I don’t think it’s the stupidest.

To be clear, I’m saying we would have followed the hot people looking for girls. Not that we were somehow shifting the ratings.

Ah, the mental reach of the Person with a Memory. A 2-point play. I'd have awarded you three, if you had brought up the even more ancient and analogue guidebooks of the 'City Secrets [City Name]' genre. Thank you for playing. 😁

As Global Warming impacts every aspect of life, especially with AI consuming huge amounts of energy, the term "Hot" will revert back to it's original meaning.

I haven't reviewed their data, but I'm just going to say it -- I am absolutely certain that their metrics are bullshit. Also. Excessively stupid. Who, other than a ridiculously tiny subset of overly thirsty cave dwellers, would pick a restaurant based on this map?
