Analogies only go so far. Even the best will break down if you stretch it too far.

I like contactless payment, but these contactless tits aren't for me.

Do you remember those days when you'd go abroad and have to exchange your tits for the local tits? It was nice trying to collect them.

This makes no sence.

This whole post is about bills vs coins and yall are using some kinda badly frammed tiddie metaphor

It literally could not be more straightforward~.

If you ever get lost, $30 in coins will also allow you to leave a longer trail than $30 in bills, thus the change allows for more stretching of the analogy!

I, for one, would greatly prefer breasts that are acceptable currency at vending machines.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

So richer women would have bigger boobs? And paying for things made them smaller?

This sounds like a reimagining of that In Time movie. I'd watch it.

Bro you saw the answer. They have the same value despite different sizes. It's simple. Basic. Elementary. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Joking aside; no I'm totally serious. They should have semi-automated mammogram vending machines that pay people to get tested and they should be as common as the blood pressure kiosks at pharmacies (which should also pay people to use them). The value of catching more treatable diseases earlier in their progression would well outweigh the cost.

Oh absolutely! it's just fun to break them down to see how they would work,

Kinda like taking apart toys to get to the insides. You'll end up with broken toys.
