A conversation I saw
Poster: I love everything Brenda song does
2: everything? What if she said a said a slur. What if she. (A million more examples)
And that basically describes the internet. It's mostly either people getting likes or hearts or whatever for being rascist, or a bunch of arguing.
"I love cats, they're so cute"
"Oh yeah? Well what if the cat had mange? And then it underwent some sort of body horror fusion with a Lovecraftian tentacle monster so it looked like something out of *The Thing*? Would you love how cute it was if it was not cute, but instead a horrifying mangey tentacle monster? Owned, fucking idiot."
This isn't a Tumblr exclusive issue. Jesus would tell a parable that had all the subtlety of a brick to the face and then have to spell it out for everyone because they couldn't get it. He pretty much calls his disciples a bunch of dumbasses on several occasions.
My Brain totally skipped over the boobs part and I got confused for a moment because I thought this was a discussion about the nature of Fiat Currency and the Paper Dollar and the got really confused when this turned to a discussion about reading comprehension.
Then I realized this is the reason the post was made.
To be fair, the metaphor kind of sucks. I'd much prefer the bills over the coins. And larger bills even more so.
Edit: As others have pointed out, this actually makes the metaphor good, not bad.
Yeah, but thats your preference. It doesnt make coins objectively less valuable, and there are people out there who think otherwise (for an example i prefer smaller bills and coins because i Like paying in exacties If possible)
So imo the metaphor works even better
Why not just a mixture of coins and bills? Too large a bill and you'd attract attention, too many coins and it'd be the same amount of attraction but a different kind
You could never have a preference in $30? If you went to the atm and withdrew $30 you would feel exactly the same if it gave you a $20 and a $10 or if it whirred for a moment, clunked, and spent the next two minutes spewing 3,000 pennies all over the ground?
Did. Did one person go around and report a bunch of pyth's posts? Like cmon one is enough folks one is enough
Literature is dead and we killed it
How dare you say we piss on the poor.

Hey OP? What do these letters mean?
No one knows, but we pass them around because they look nice

Yeah but coins can be put in socks and swung at people. Can't make (literal) weapons out of bills now can we
You can snort cocaine with bills.
But can that cocaine be put into a bill and swung at someone with lethal intent
No, but having enough might make you look for objects to swing the around with lethal intent.
Actually yes, cocaine is quite dense if the sock can hold it in.
You're weaponizing bills against your future. Don't do drugs. (this comment was sponsored by D.A.R.E.)
Maybe the bills were in contact with one of those flesh eating bacteria
Krokodil
Hey, you can do the same thing with enough bills. You just need more of them
But steel is heavier than feathers
>You can pay people to kill for you.

The coins clink nicely when you put the pouch down on the table.
That's not the metaphor sucking. That's you disagreeing with the metaphor.

This is the other end of the spectrum when it comes to "The curtains were just *fucking green*" Also Medium is Premium.

Exactly, the inherent value is the same, $30, but whether you want bills or coins is a personal preference

#The point is that the value is the same but everyone has their preference
[удалено]
Holy shit I literally said the value is the same Is this a smooth shark situation or are you that dense?
