fun fact: this is called "Reductio ad absurdum" and it's a valid strategy in debate/rethoric.

It works great when countering stupid shit that sounds logical but really isn't.

Nice try, thats a harry potter spell. You're not gonna fool me

If you like debates, but don’t like stupid takes then you just like to stay sane

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

You can also refute it by inverting the logic. If you like milk chocolate but don't like eating a bowl full of sugar, you like chocolate more than sugar. Curious what the name for that would be.

Also perfectly valid in maths, and widely used

If you love coke, but don't like raw sugar, you actually like water more than coke.

If you love water, but don’t like the taste of raw hydrogen, you actually just like oxygen.

If you love your screaming child but don't like screaming, you actually like your child more than screaming

Could it be? 🤔

If you like the comment about the chicken more than the post about the chocolate, you like the roast more than the meat.

[-] Waldowal@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago

If you love dark milk, then sugar love than actually more.

If you like air but you don’t like pure oxygen, then you actually like nitrogen more than oxygen.

If you like taking a shit, but don’t like the shit, then you really like the feeling of something sliding in your anal cavity.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

You mean sliding out unless you have some weird shits

[-] Tristaniopsis@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago

What? You mean you don’t suck/ push them in/ out for a few minutes before releasing them into the wild to seek their fortune elsewhere?

If you love to drink coffee, but don't like to eat coffee beans directly as a food, you actually like hot water more than you like coffee.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 11 points 9 months ago

I dont like coffee, i recently “discovered” drinking plain hot water during winter and its incredibly soothing.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 16 points 9 months ago

It is good, and I sometimes drink it myself, but remember to be careful if drinking hot water outside in autumn or early winter.

If a leaf falls from a tree and lands in your cup, you'll have discovered Tea - and last time that happened, some folk from a tiny island ended up with an empire covering half the planet.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

I never actually thought about how tea was discovered, and my new headcanon is that some weird person was just drinking hot water, some leaves fell in their cup, and they were too lazy to just get some clean water

If you love table salt, but don't like sodium metal, you actually like chlorine gas more than table salt.

Uh... No. I like milk more than cacao. You don't need sugar for milk chocolate. You can get unsweetened milk chocolate in the baking aisle. That's what I use for chocolate chip cookies or if I plan on making a sauce.

I also just happen to have a bar of 90% cacao dark and a milk chocolate bar from the same brand (chocolate xoxo) on hand, and they both have 14g of sugar.

This is why i exclusively eat baker's chocolate, and I chew my coffee grounds. I'm not trying to dilute my precious foodstuffs with disgusting things like water or sugar.

If you like vanilla ice cream, but don't like chugging raw vanilla extract, then you like cream and sugar more than vanilla.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 9 months ago

i mean, yes

straight up unflavoured (except for sugar) icecream is perfectly fine

chewing on a vanilla bean is probably not that amazing

If you like raw chicken but not roasted chicken, you actually like Salmonella more than chicken.

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

I don't get it. Like if you like dark chocolate but not baker's chocolate you like the sugar more than the chocolate.

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Sounds like you get it. They're all dunking on their dumb logic

[-] treetop@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

If you like reading the text of the shitpost more than admiring the number of upvotes they received then you really like content more than shitposting for karma

I like the roasted chicken vs heat argument best.

If you like chocolate, just eat the unprocessed cocoa bean. Anything after that is just a level of preference for how much you like that bean processed, dark chocolate included. Stating you like the sugar more than the chocolate is ridiculous.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

If you like X+Y but don't like just Y then you must like X only

[-] clark@midwest.social 9 points 9 months ago

Upvoted because of title.

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

"Mindblowing"

[-] Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It actually took me a long time to realize I like vinegar. I've always liked sour food and pickles especially, but I never made the connection until a few years ago.

But what if I like cold roasted chicken?
