      It’s not this, it’s this whole subreddit. Might as well call it world_politics_gore_debate_bait.

      Edit: to the stink bugs trying to dunk on me for doing exactly what I wanted to do when referring to this place looking like the worldnews subreddit, look up “metaphor” in a dictionary and stfu

          Look up “metaphor” in a dictionary and stop doubling down on your mistaken shallow interpretation of what you just read.

              Here, I’ll do it for you:

              https://www.grammarly.com/blog/metaphor/

              Work today was a nightmare!

              You: no, nightmares are not real life, you’re wrong.

              You are my shining star.

              You: There are no stars on Earth, you’re a moron and I’m dumping you.

              Look at this pigsty!

              You: This subreddit is not a pigsty, you are an illiterate moron

              That athlete is a machine.

              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)

                Because people like me have an interest in having people like you be a little less self-righteous.

                lmfao the projection of writing this at the end of the most self righteous comment I’ve read on lemmy yet is delicious.
