Fake food delivery site for the dopamine

> It's just to replicate the ritual of ordering food and give you the dopamine that the real process gives you.

I’m confused. How does the food-ordering process give you dopamine? It generally just gives me anxiety due to the uncertainties involved, until the food arrives in good condition, which here it won’t.

I just had double jaw surgery so I'm "eating" though a straw (or syringe).

At least I can order regular food with this.

This website works better than most sites I order from. Except for the delivery of course :)

The curse of technology. If people still had to hunt their protein and grind corn by hand, we wouldn't need anti-binge-eating apps.

Next step:

Fully customized sex worker service at your doorstep ... faked for the dopamine, of course.

Practically no vegan options. Very realistic

Counterproductive for me. Seeing all that tasty looking food makes me want to binge.

It's too fast. There should be an artificial pause while adding to cart or capturing the payment

I need to enter a coupon code for more dopamine. And a loyalty program.

The hardest part of food delivery is the tip section. It's where you use all your brain power to make a decision. That's the only part I would have given me dopamine hit from pretend tipping. Missed opportunity.

Doesn't quite meet the fantasy threshold. I can't seem to filter by allergens or dietary restrictions.

This is great. I need one for building permits.

I was really hoping to add some fries, a drink and to customize my burger. Not that I customize my burger except maybe take off the pickles or remove the ice from my drink, but it adds to the dopamine factor.

Does this have the ridiculous dark patterns that Deliveroo in the UK has? “Pay a monthly fee for free deliveries!*

*We won’t tell you, but you might notice, we’ve now increased the service charge by almost the amount of what you saved on that free delivery.

OK, this actually worked as advertised. I feel dopamined.

I just wished the delivery took longer and there was a payment process that longer than an instant. Could have a saved card on file that you could use.

Isn't it just like porn and video games work too. Weird no one thought of it before.
