Why does the word enlargening make me uncomfortable for some reason?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The proper term is embiggen. I learned that from the Simpsons

Whenever anyone says anything about inflation I have to remind myself most people don't know about that kink and I'm just traumatized

Porn with cars driving up dragons asses and starting to inflate is basically the only thing I watch.
