>I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.I've been trying for literal days to break down and understand this order and, try as I might, I cannot figure out what the fuck he was asking for. Help?
slop
>>215045318Doesn't matter. What matters is to break the rules to pave the way for unbridled consumerism so that the illusion of control persists.
>>215045318Boomers don't deserve to be happy>all pictured born 1942-1973niggers all of them
>i'd like carbohydrates with extra carbohydrates and a side of carbohydrates...but swap out THAT carbohydrate!it's basically the old 'and a DIET Coke!' joke, OP.
>>215045318Everyone in this scene is evil. You have the boomer making demands and not accepting rules and structure. You have the "greatest generation" waitress who refuses to accept change even with something as simple as a food order. You have the lesbians who are lesbians. Fuck everyone in this scene.
>>215045598Back then they weren't as educated about carbohydrates. The food pyramid for example back then said most of your meal should be carbs
>plain omelet>with tomatoes Is this even possible? Wouldn't the tomatoes make it not plain?
>>215045657I assume the "potatoes" he subbed out were homefries on the side.
>>215045657The tomatoes are on the side, dummy.
>>215045704Who the fuck orders a side of tomatoes? Tomatoes aren't a side they're an ingredient.
>>215045716Roasted tomatoes are good though
>>215045716Dis nigga never had a tomato salad
>>215045318What the fuck is a plain omelette? Isn't that just scrambled eggs?
>>215045746I haven't watched this movie in years but I think Jack Nicholson played a trust fund nepo baby so basic things like this he isn't familiar with
>>215045727>>215045734This sounds like inbred Southern nonsense to me.
>>215045774Did you never in your life eat a sliced tomato on the side?
>>215045318This is such a great framed and shot scene. Love the background with the open road. Road tripping and going to random diners and towns is pretty kino
>>215045746>What the fuck is a plain omeletteA plain omelette. You know, an omelette without any toppings.
>>215045774I am a Yankee from NYC I eat tomato salads all the time. Tomatoes are good for prostate health
>>215045598but tomatoes aren't carbs, their vegetables
>>215045814Not really. Any nutrients you get from vegetables are pretty much negligible. Tomatoes are tasty though.
>>215045823Tomatoes have 5 grams of carbs and are NOT keto friendly
>>215045823>>215045864Achksually, a tomato is a fruit.
>>215045864Why do fat people say things like this?
>>215045318I hate boomers!!I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM AHHHHHHHHH
>>215045746>scrambled eggs may or may not use beaten eggs>omelets always use beaten eggs>scrambled eggs are scrambled >omelets are flipped
>>215045598fuck all carbs in an omelette
what subhuman goes to a diner and orders their eggs in any other way then scrambled?
>>215045894I'm not fat because I eat only meat
>>215045318>HE ASKED...... FOR WHAAAAAAAAAAT? AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>215045746no, it's like scrambled egg with cheese
Replacing potatoes with tomatoes doesn't make any sense, they don't fulfill the same culinary roles at all. It's like he thought he could do that just because the names are similar.
>>215046054Realistically speaking he was probably just being difficult for the sake of being difficult
>>215045746are you retarded
what the hell is "wheat toast"? isn't that just scrambled eggs?
Imagine paying $10+ for a plate of eggs
>>215045814>gay new york democrat eats tomatoes for his buttYea I'm gonna stick with potatoes thanks.
>>215046054It makes sense because he's requesting tomatoes to be presented as a side, instead of potatoes.>>215046077What was going on is he was revealing that he's not blue collar/working class, since regular patrons of that diner would not have "weird" requests like that. He was acting entitled because he IS entitled. He comes from a rich and well educated family and is just larping to be a working man as a form of rebellion. But even something as ordering food in a diner is enough to make him feel insecure and lash out, since his cover can be instantly blown by some random waitress being confused by his neediness.It's a typical insecurity melty over a minor thing because despite mucking about with the proles he still considers himself to be above it all.
>>215046149That's a deal in Trump's America
who was in the wrong here
>>215046158>you are a southerner!>no actually you are a gay northerner!I accept your concession
>>215046172New York City, like the South more broadly, is not American.
>>215045318Why are Indians OBSESSED with posting this thread?
>>215046164This whole movie is literally "Why boomers are shit" the movie. Entitled retard has a midlife crisis and refuses to work and marry and instead abandons all responsibility to go on a road trip with lesbians. I wish this site didn't meme this movie and give it relevancy because it really was a garbage movie.
>>215046186I accepted your concession we are good. You were wrong
>>215046194Nah, it's a great insight to the boomer mindset. You don't have to condone the character's actions you small brained retard.
>>215046228I don't think this movie was made to be critical of them I think it was made to celebrate this lifestyle
>>215046210Doesn't that retard eat fried green tomaters in that movie? Is that what we're dealing with here?
>Boomers side with the customer and his reasonable request>Zoomers side with the waitress/establishment for sticking to the nonsensical rulesWhy does this happen in every thread about this scene?
>>215045823>but swap out THAT carbohydrate!=>no potatoes, tomatoes instead
>>215046248If you don't like the dish as its presented you shouldn't order it. Just get something else that you do like.
>>215046242Nah, the movie definitely presents his life as unfulfilled and aimless. It's not romanticizing his choices and lifestyle. This is apparent throughout the movie? Did you even watch it?
>>215046248Because it's a slippery slope. If that waitress won and you couldn't change your order in a diner we wouldn't have gay marriage and all this trans shit today
>>215046242Not really, doesn't it end with everyone being fucking miserable?
>>215046280>>215046288I did watch it. This was boomer wish fulfillment like other slop around the time like Easy Rider
>>215046248They were both in the wrong.
From the south and it is not uncommon to have tomatoes and no potatoes at breakfast. If he had added bacon or sausage patties the breakfast would be great.
>>215045318I'd like a loaded bacon, cheese and potato omelette, with pancakes and a side of sausages and coffee please.oh can I get peppers and onions in my omelette please? thank you.
>>215046304>This was boomer wish fulfillment like other slop around the time like Easy RiderOh you mean when they get fucking killed in the end?
>>215046332No substitutions.
>>215046346There is nothing a boomer loves more than dodging responsibility anon even in death
>>215045318>I'm gonna order off menu
>>215046358There's one thing they love more, themselves. And they never wanna die.
>>215045746A plain omelet would be a single cohesive blob of scrambled egg, layered over on itself, while scramled eggs are loose and not as cooked. Different presentation and texture.
>>215046349fuck!
>>215046169Any line cook can make simple substitutions easily, there was no reason to have a "no substitutions" rule.
>>215046375Nah dodging responsibility is the #1 thing they love. They would chose death over that
>>215046358but that's after Fonda says that they were irresponsible and blew their chance at real freedom
>>215046280the film that inspired millions of boomers to go out and buy harley davidsons during their midlife crises DIDN'T romanticize his choices and lifestyle and they all just missed the point of the movie? Sounds about right lol
>>215046444All these boomer fantasy movies all have the same message. Live for the moment. Any time a boomer speaks positively about that movie it's about Fonda. If there was a negative lesson there no one accepted it
>>215046459 It happens with movies. Like Starship Troopers and how everyone romanticizes the federation who were literally fascists
don't you guys get tired of discussing the same thing over and over again?
>>215045318Wtf do you mean? Are you retarded? It's just bland food
>>215045598You fucking absolute bozo lmao
>>215046509you have to go back anon...
>>215046459OP is from Five Easy Pieces, you're thinking of Easy Rider
>>215046509That anon definitely trusts the official story about Buenos Aires.
>>215046604I didn't say anything wrong nor gave an opinion either way about fascism
>>215046641And yet context clues clearly demonstrate your implication, redditoid.
>>215046803Go back to r/TheDonald, tourist
>>215046169The waitress when he offered to pay the price of a chicken sandwich for a couple slices of toast. What does she gain from being difficult with him at that point?
>>215046434She doesn't make the rules.
>>215046842I've been on this site daily since '06, kiddo
>>215046842The ledditor shows his true nature... happens every time
>>215046641>I didn't say anything wrong
>>215046169>>215046434>>215046908>people unironically defending Nicholson in this sceneI'm not supporting wagies but Jesus Christ what a fucking annoying crybaby faggot, throwing a fit over breakfast, this is nigger behaviour, and if you disagree you're a nigger too
>>215045746Long story short: a plain omelette is a scrambled egg loaf
>>215045598are you one of those ketolard mongs
>>215045318Haha, fair — that kind of diner-style order can sound confusing if you’re not used to the shorthand. Let’s break it down carefully:> “I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.”Here’s what it actually means in normal terms:Plain omelette : An omelette with just eggs , no cheese, no fillings.No potatoes : At many diners, an omelette normally comes with a side of potatoes (like home fries or hash browns). The person is saying they don’t want that.Tomatoes instead : They want sliced tomatoes (usually cold, sometimes grilled) as the side in place of the potatoes.Cup of coffee : Self-explanatory. They want coffee to drink.Wheat toast : Their choice of toast is wheat bread (as opposed to white, rye, etc.).So the full order, decoded, is something like:> “I’d like an omelette made only with eggs, served with sliced tomatoes instead of potatoes, plus wheat toast and a cup of coffee.”
>>215047237Thanks chatgpt.
>>215047237in english, doc
>>215045318you're just as retarded as the waitress
>>215047320No substitutions.
>>215046164Tomatoes cost more than potatoes. You might as well ask for caviar.
>>215045318this denny's still exists and was my home denny's for years. sat in the nicholson booth many times. there used to be a really sweet cat that lived outside the restaurant that everyone loved but he got too old to live outside and one of the employees adopted him
>>215045774you sound fat and retarded
>>215045318So from the earliest days of the ttailer diner car through the prewar and midcentury "classic" period, your order at a diner would be pretty open-ended, that (and being fast and cheap) was pretty much the entire point of a diner. In the period this film was shot in, diners started to impose rules, in part as a result of inflation.
>>215045318this makes sense to me, just not the plain omelette part. so we wants just the eggs then?
>>215045318>>215046169The director who made this movie looks like a monster and acted (or maybe still acts) like the character he wrote for Jack.
>>215047237> So the full order, decodedkek, AI is alright sometimes
>>215049631>(or maybe still acts)nvm I was not aware he died 3 years ago
>>215045527take your meds
>>215045318This isn't a grocery store, whatever is put on the menu is pre-priced and every sell has to be recorded, if you start letting every retard who walks in mix and match whatever they want then you'd have to come up with prices for hundreds of combinations and the recordkeeping would be fucked.
>>215045318anon, you're mentally retarded and nothing I can say to you will change that. best of luck.
>>215045318Why would an omelette have potatoes in it? Did he mean no fries? What kind of fucking asshole calls fries potatoes?
>>215049935The omelet came with potatoes on the side, most likely similar to pick related. But he wanted tomatoes instead.
>>215045868Fuck off Ketofag
>>215050044what kind of psychopath orders tomatoes with breakfa.. (looks over at engl*nd) oh, right...
>>215046169Anyone who thinks Jack is wrong here is such an idiot. The guy asked for the simplest meal ever: some fried eggs, tomatoes, and toast. There's literally no reason they wouldn't be able to make that for him. He was even willing to pay more than it was worth, he just wanted the fucking food, yet that retarded waitress still wouldn't do it. Jack Nicholson did nothing wrong.
>>215045868>>215045598It irritates me you are presenting your retarded diet as normal
>>215046169jack was asking for something totally reasonable and it's retarded they couldn't do it>>215045318>>215045657>>215049935the omelet came with fried potatoes on the side, he's saying he wanted a tomato on the side instead of fried potatoes and some toast. they serve the omletthe waitress admitted they had bread and a toaster for the sandwiches they presumably serve like blts or something with a tomato in it, it shouldn't that hard to just give a guy a tomato and some toast
>>215046555perhaps you'd enjoy reddit more with all its OC and profound discussion
>>215045891No they're not, fruits grow on trees. People think that tomatoes grow on trees because there's something called a tomato tree which is a metal fence with tomato vines growing over it. It's not an actual tree.
>>215045962An omelet is scrambled eggs, you idiot.
>>215051200So strawberries and watermelons aren't fruits?
Outside of this scene the rest of the movie stunk.
>>215046126It's scrambled eggs without the yolk.
I have never been to a single diner that doesnt offer a choice of toast (White, wheat, sourdough, rye) with basically every meal.
>>215051239Silence.
>>215051245The only good scene in this movie is the part where he plays Chopin.
>>215051384concession accepted
>>215045598that's fairly reductionist from a nutritional perspective.... no... i don't like it at all.will not be rereading your comment.
>>215045318Have an omelette. Have two
