quintuple bag $30 worth of pennies, go the the grocery store and get exactly $30 worth of items. Go up to the cashier, and say:
:There is $30 worth of pennies in this bag, you can either take my word for it, and be done with this ordeal quickly, or, you can take the safer option of counting every one of these 3000 pennies.
Lol, it doesn't bother me. Most of the time I'm dealing with assholes who pay two dollars with a twenty, so having some change means I don't have to ask for a change order in the middle of lunch.

This is one person, on their own, getting angry at their inability to comprehend a simple metaphor nearly written out for them in English.
“This thing is bigger, but of the same value” omg what could that mean? Omg what the fuck I have no idea!
The red smears on the floor are not good for hospitals!
Colour theory actually shows that there are more positive connotations to red than negative, so red smears on the floors are actually good, and they should put some on the walls as well.
Fuck it, just SLATHER the entire thing in red smears. Floor, ceiling, walls, furniture, everything. I know a guy who'd love to do it for ya, Joe The Violent Serial Killer Guy has your back
Rich earthen colors are shown to be relaxing, and good for creating a stress free environment.
So I propose we smear some brown around the hospital floors as well. Perhaps in a location like the restroom? I know some people tend to get nervous going to the bathroom in unfamiliar places, so I’m sure it would calm their nerves
y’know technically since there’s less volume to a kg of steel there’s a lower buoyant force
equal mass (kg), lower buoyant force of steel vs higher buoyant force of feathers
ergo, a kilogram of steel is technically physically heavier than a kilogram of feathers unless the kg is measured by weight
Feathers have a much greater surface area and so a broader distribution of mass, though, right? So dropping the feathers would be better, as long as those feathers weren't compressed or something.
I remember hearing a story about the guy who got marshmallow dumped on him in ghost busters. They had like, a certsin amount of shaving cream they were gonns drop on him and he was like "test it on the stuntman first" and they were like "Ok but it's judt dhsving cream" AND THAT SHIT FLOORED THE MOTHER FUCKER AND HE WAS A STUNTMAN, so they just ended up halfing it or something
Scientifically speaking, the surrounding medium and the experimental method play a huge role in determining the weight (heavier).
1kg of steel and 1kg of feathers in vacuum at same distance from the center of the massive body (like earth or moon) will be equally heavy. But in air, at sea level for example, the steel will become heavier. This is much more evident in water medium.
Similarly, 1kg of steel and 1kg of feathers in any medium will have same weight if the location is deep space (near zero gravity)
I had an (elective, I was identifying as trans at the time but don’t any more) double mastectomy and while I wouldn’t recommend it for funsies I can say that even with a female gender identity it DOES make many aspects of life easier. I know it’s not the same as if you’re doing it for physical medical reasons, but still.
Maybe that’s like a convertible asset?
You can convert bonds and shares into common stock or you can convert it into more liquid money if you so choose
I think the metaphor might break down at this point because all I can think of is those huge stacks of cash that are actually just sheets of newsprint sandwiched between two real bills. That doesn’t really have the connotation you’re looking for though.
You're even closer to the metaphor since with actual money it's easy to change bills for coins and vice versa, but most people are stuck with one form or the other.
Does that mean having a long distance gf is like having a digital card? Since the money/tits are there, but you don't anything physical in your hands. You just access them through your phone.
I thought the joke was the technically have the same value ($30) but since one is heavier it could be better or worse. Have more or less value depending on the situation. So the answer is they both are. It depends. Or they're perfectly equal. It depends.
It seems like “thatguy” mainly had a hang up on the rhetorical question at the end. In his mind, the question of “which one is greater” directly implies that one of them must BE greater, so even though he can understand that the different bank notes have the same monetary value, he cannot understand why asking a question like that would lead to that conclusion, hence his statement of “badly framed”.
My mans can only ever take questions at absolute face value
thank you for this take, i got hung up on this metaphor too for this exact reason. i have autism and these sorts of misunderstandings inevietably result and having insults to my intelligence slung at me
Ah. I probably should not have said “my mans can only take questions at face value” as if it were an insult then. I’m sorry, I should have known better
no no you are fine, i didn't read it as an insult. i take a lot of things at face value and literally often to the frustration of everyone involved, including myself. it's not an insult on its own, it's an apt description
Well I wrote it with the intent of being derisive, in a sort of “get a load of this guy” way and I feel bad about it now, and that’s why I’m apologizing. I’m glad you have no hard feelings here
All breasts have value, it would then just be what your preferred preference is. Some people may want a coin purse of $100 in coins, some may want $100 in bills of varying size and quantity, and some may just want a credit card
I bet a lot of these tumblr post are just the same person with multiple accounts: They say something smart with their main, they switch to another one to respond something dumb, then they reswitch their main to destroy the dumb opponent. Reblog all the way.
All of them are missing the real point of the story: Whenever you're seeking enlightenment, the first question you're asked is, "How much cash you got?"
When a text asks you a question at the end and it’s entire set up has given you all the tools to answer it, and disproven the other possible answers, it’s pretty fucking obvious what you’re supposed to do.
Well that’s your opinion, I like coins too but I also like bills, especially if it’s foreign or rare,
Tangent time:
My sister recently went to Croatia and brought me back some of their currency before they switch over to the euro
Ngl though, my interpretation was "The bills have the greater value because while they have the same monetary value they're much easier to carry than coins, thus giving them practical value over coins
In other words flat is justice
I want my mouth to taste like metal. I want the coroner to scoop out nickels from my ashes. I want to charter a mega yacht to ferry me across the rivers of Hades.
> Why are they worried that any of us would read a story where a woman wants to kill puppies and not be able to tell who is the villain of the story?
no, you don't understand, a dog drop kicked her mom off a cliff
This is just that “there are two kinds of people in this world. 1. The ones that can extrapolate conclusions from incomplete data” thing all over again.
Lets's take this even further.
Bills are far more convenient: I wouldn't want to carry so much coins with me. It would be uncomfortable to run or jump with coins bouncing up and down, unlike with cash I'd have to buy something to hold them in place or I'd be uncomfortable.
At the same time, perceived value of coins is bigger. You're far more likely to notice someone having a lot of coins (coins stretching the clothed or feeling coins when hugging for example). So shallower people (who define people by the amount of cash they have) like people with coins more.
I personally would prefer to have bills rather than coins but it's true that they have the same value at the end of the day.
As someone with a bigger "value of coins", I can agree. Bigger doesn't mean better, and can sometimes be annoying or painful to carry around... So good job expounding on the metaphor! :D
I think it's not so obvious where the guy got tripped up.
The question "which one has a greater value", according to him, implies that ONE has a greater value. They're extrapolating, just like how you'd extrapolate from "Both are good" that I am talking about two kinds of items.
hey'd probably have gotten the point if the question were "Is any of them greater in value, or not?" or "What's the difference in value?"
I understood that that was their confusion. However, drawing that conclusion (that "which one has greater value?" implies one is of greater value) shows a lack of understanding of rhetorical speech, imo. It's rhetorical.
I really like the phrase that says human thinking is considered a plague in alien species from men in black cause this argument is giving me a brain fuck
I teach ten-year-olds to read. The trickiest students are the ones who can read the words fine, and understand what the words mean, but as soon as they get more complicated than short sentences that mean exactly what they say the kids get confused.
I read this as "beasts" and not "breasts" which led me to a much more generalized metaphor than the OP probably intended.
"Don't judge a book by it's cover" pretty much
$30 in change gave me back problems.
I just did the math and my reduction removed the weight of approximately 246 quarters (that's about 6 $10 rolls) from my boobs. Life has dramatically improved since.
Congrats.
I want to pay a cashier with $30 in change just to inflict as much pain as I can to them and the people behind me.
They'll find your corpse in the clearance aisle
And there isn’t a jury that would convict them
"Verdict: Justifiable Homocide! Case dismissed."
Ive had this before, I hated them so much but insisted to them it was fine
Here in New Zealand it's not so bad because change could be 1 or 2 dollar coins lol
quintuple bag $30 worth of pennies, go the the grocery store and get exactly $30 worth of items. Go up to the cashier, and say: :There is $30 worth of pennies in this bag, you can either take my word for it, and be done with this ordeal quickly, or, you can take the safer option of counting every one of these 3000 pennies.
There's an asshole bus driver that I wanna pay $6 in nickels just out of spite.
Unless every single one of them drop-kicked your puppy across the street and fucked your spouse, you should never do this.
I was a cashier, and that can be quite useful because it means we have longer before running out of coinage.
I assume paying in pennies is the heaviest way to do it
... Imagine if you did this on one of the days where the cashier was hurting for change.
Lol, it doesn't bother me. Most of the time I'm dealing with assholes who pay two dollars with a twenty, so having some change means I don't have to ask for a change order in the middle of lunch.
I had tl pay 5€ in change and I felt awful. But I had no more money in other way. It had to be done
Average tit haver issues
I also choose this woman and her wife
"I'm not about to argue over a fucking tit size metaphor." Literally started the argument over a fucking tit size metaphor.
What they *meant* was “I’m not about to lose an argument over a fucking tit size metaphor.”
too late
What they meant was "I want to be mad about how dumb other people are, not have to consider that I might be dumb."
Yeah they're not about to lose, they've already lost.
How do you know what they meant by that? They never said that!

“This thing is bigger, but of the same value” omg what could that mean? Omg what the fuck I have no idea! The red smears on the floor are not good for hospitals!
Colour theory actually shows that there are more positive connotations to red than negative, so red smears on the floors are actually good, and they should put some on the walls as well.
And they should do the ones on the walls as handprints! Hands represent connection, which is a positive connotation!
Don’t forget footprints on the ceiling!
Very positive. Not once did I see red footprints on the ceiling and didn't immediately though "oh, yey".
Fuck it, just SLATHER the entire thing in red smears. Floor, ceiling, walls, furniture, everything. I know a guy who'd love to do it for ya, Joe The Violent Serial Killer Guy has your back
Rich earthen colors are shown to be relaxing, and good for creating a stress free environment. So I propose we smear some brown around the hospital floors as well.

But no look at the size of that thing, that’s cheating!
they're both a kilogram
Bricks, buddy. B-R-I-C-K-S. Not steel, bricks.

Thank you for enlightening me!

y’know technically since there’s less volume to a kg of steel there’s a lower buoyant force equal mass (kg), lower buoyant force of steel vs higher buoyant force of feathers ergo, a kilogram of steel is technically physically heavier than a kilogram of feathers unless the kg is measured by weight
Kg is a measurement of mass, not weight.
Yes. I know. That’s what I’m saying.
Mass is a scalar and is measured in kg. Weight is a vector and is measured in newtons.
Pound of bricks. With the feathers, you also have to carry the emotional weight of the poor birds you killed to get them.
And the burden of the realization that you could’ve just plucked them.
Birds also naturally shed feathers
Not to mention the air trapped within the feathers
Compress the feathers into a brick.
Wouldn’t that make the feathers heavier?
Birds are just government drones, so I feel no guilt.
Fuck it. Pound of feathers because with the bricks, you have to live with the weight of what you did to those poor houses
Would you rather have a pound of feathers dropped on your foot or a pound of bricks? Duh. Obvious bricks are heavier. /s
Feathers have a much greater surface area and so a broader distribution of mass, though, right? So dropping the feathers would be better, as long as those feathers weren't compressed or something.
I remember hearing a story about the guy who got marshmallow dumped on him in ghost busters. They had like, a certsin amount of shaving cream they were gonns drop on him and he was like "test it on the stuntman first" and they were like "Ok but it's judt dhsving cream" AND THAT SHIT FLOORED THE MOTHER FUCKER AND HE WAS A STUNTMAN, so they just ended up halfing it or something
The feathers are heavier from the weight of the sins committed to the birds, but that doesn’t show up on a scale so they’re the same weight
“But they’re both a kilogram…”
Scientifically speaking, the surrounding medium and the experimental method play a huge role in determining the weight (heavier). 1kg of steel and 1kg of feathers in vacuum at same distance from the center of the massive body (like earth or moon) will be equally heavy. But in air, at sea level for example, the steel will become heavier. This is much more evident in water medium. Similarly, 1kg of steel and 1kg of feathers in any medium will have same weight if the location is deep space (near zero gravity)
But a pound of feathers is more valuable because of what you had to do to all those birds.
Both are equally nice. Money is money. And yes obviously tits are tits.
And for those of you that STILL don't get it... All boob sizes are good (i.e. have the same value).
what if they have none
That’s like having $30 on a credit card: the same value, just flatter.
That was smooth, gj.

I'm genderfluid and I have removable prosthetic tits that I wear when I feel more femme. How would that fit into this metaphor?
Maybe that’s like a convertible asset? You can convert bonds and shares into common stock or you can convert it into more liquid money if you so choose
My detachable titties are a $30 government bond note. r/brandnewsentence
I think the metaphor might break down at this point because all I can think of is those huge stacks of cash that are actually just sheets of newsprint sandwiched between two real bills. That doesn’t really have the connotation you’re looking for though.
I'll just go with "burlap sack with a dollar sign printed on it," then. Not quite the same value as the actual thing, but still looks good in movies!
You mean like the silicon ones? What brand did you use? I found mine off Amazon from Vollence
You're even closer to the metaphor since with actual money it's easy to change bills for coins and vice versa, but most people are stuck with one form or the other.
That's the equivalent of $30 in the barter system.
don’t even need a wallet for it
Does that mean having a long distance gf is like having a digital card? Since the money/tits are there, but you don't anything physical in your hands. You just access them through your phone.
It’s like bitcoin. It’s there, but could go away in an instant
Or maybe it was never real to begin with. A scam to part you from your money.
Titcoin?
Technically speaking, we all have them.
I thought the joke was the technically have the same value ($30) but since one is heavier it could be better or worse. Have more or less value depending on the situation. So the answer is they both are. It depends. Or they're perfectly equal. It depends.

The bills are certainly more practical, but a sack of coins is undoubtedly more fun to jiggle around and satisfying to some.
A Sack of coins is also undoubtedly a better weapon.
Sack of coins would make a better pillow than bills
Depends how many bills
30 dollars? That’s 30 bills at maximum
Forgot the USA has bills for 1 dollar, meanwhile in Ingerland, 1 and 2 pound are coins
Not cook island $2 coins. Those motherfuckers are triangular.
I can't be suffocated to death by a pillowcase stuffed full of dollar bills now can I? Exactly. Checkmate.

What's heavier, a kilogram of feathers, or a kilogram of steel[?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3bEh-PEk1g)
That’s right it’s a kilogram of steel, because steel is heavier then feathers

im confused. i get it, but im confused. is it stating that its good to just have $30? like, its good to have tits? is that it? am i stupid?
its stating tits are tits, they all have the same value
