Edit: You ever see somebody say something dumb and then they unabashedly double down? Yeah.
Exactly, this subreddit.
Look up “metaphor” in a dictionary and stop doubling down on your mistaken shallow interpretation of what you just read.
Trying to say calling a Lemmy community a subreddit is a metaphor lmao
Also, you came back to the comments without getting a notification to reply to the edit? Dude, go outside lol
Here, I'll do it for you:
https://www.grammarly.com/blog/metaphor/
You: no, nightmares are not real life, you're wrong.
You: There are no stars on Earth, you're a moron and I'm dumping you.
You: This subreddit is not a pigsty, you are an illiterate moron
You: go learn what a machine is, you'd never make it as an engineer, because I'm in your head and know you didn't intentionally mean to use a metaphor, because I'm full of myself and you're a dumb anon.
The difference between you and me in this respect is that I have no shame in apologizing when wrong, while you not so much. Why am I losing time with this? Because people like me have an interest in having people like you be a little less self-righteous.
The rare quadruple down on the dumb. Calling a lemmy community a subreddit is not a metaphor, it's objectively wrong. No matter how many non-applicable examples you provide. How are you this dense? (That's rhetorical btw)
lmfao the projection of writing this at the end of the most self righteous comment I've read on lemmy yet is delicious.
