The OPs' sentence? Yes clearly.

Yours? I'm not entirely convinced. Or at least it's not only a hyperbole, given your other comments in this thread.

What.

"Goon crazy style" is slang for watching porn. It also happens to be a hyperbole, since watching porn clearly isn't as bad as jerking yourself to a medical condition.

What should the non-hyperbolic version of "let’s compare dropping bombs to reading about the war." (assuming that's the sentence) have been?

To me it appears that you tried making a comparison of VerilyFemme's comment under a wrong assumption (eg. that it was about public masturbation), and now are trying to cover it up by calling it a hyperbole.

Anyway, as you stated I'm here to laugh, and not to write reports about misunderstandings taken to the next level.

Gooning always meant masturbating to me.

I polled my friends and family. We all agree gooning it is slang for jerking it, even my mom said so.

I didn't misunderstand anything.
