    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.
