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.

I like to tip my delivery person so they do not spit in my food.

Practically no vegan options. Very realistic

> 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?

think window shopping

which upon writing I realized may not even be something folks born after 2010 have even heard of...

Looks like a riff of the fake online shopping site. Kinda funny that the premise could be legit: All the novelty seeking and exploration behaviour and none of financial burden (or in this case, calories)

I somehow want to make a brick and mortar shop with products with 5-digit price tags and the famous brands, but they're all fake, and visitors can pick and choose all the fancy products they want. They can then go to the cashier and go through a simulation of the purchase of all those products, but walk out with nothing... Or maybe even a receipt so you can look at it and pretend you just bought those things, hah. "T…

Whaaaaat?? In a world where brick and mortar retail has been almost completely replaced by Amazon and a handful of mega big-box retailers there's a market for people going through literally all of the steps required to shop local retail (including spending money)....to end up having purchased nothing? Are y'all on drugs??

The link is to the BingeEatingDisorder subreddit. From the link, > I know that at least for me, the actual process of ordering food delivery is part of the addiction

I'm seeing a business opportunity for a gambling site where it is extremely cheap to play, but the payout is always 0 dollars.

That would be a fantastic art installation. In some places, landlords allow empty storefronts to be used for art.

You might get people to contribute satirical spins on different trends or designers.

I hope you or someone does it.
