Raw onion is good! Though I wouldn’t just eat a whole one lol
One of the best things to scoop hummus with.
Catastrophic tooting ensues
Catastrophic Tooting is my favorite Doom Ska band.
Doom Ska is the metal-punk crossover I never knew I needed.
Nobody said it wasn't good.
Literally this post did
You don't seem to understand the meaning of the word "literally." This post figuratively said so.
Did you literally read the post?
Hi. Third party here. They're correct: that's literally not what literally means. Ok thanks bye.
Fourth party here: definitions are descriptive not prescriptive and vary by common usage. Due to current common usage, literally means both literally and figuratively, with the original definition slowly losing ground. So no one is correct.
True, but if you wanted to articulate the concept formerly known as "Literally", how would you do it? I just woke up, and my brain hasn't booted all the way to desktop yet, but I can't immediately think of another word to fill the niche.
we need a /L1 /L2 etc corresponding to which definition of literally we are using? /s
The closest I can come is "genuinely" but the connotations don't quite fit for all uses.
If everybody was jumping off a bridge, would you do that, too?
Depends on how many survive, but I don't see what that has to do with linguistics.
It's cool. The Lemmy dogpile started and I'll be buried in a figurative hole soon.
Yes.
I didnt say, "this post literally did," i said, "literally this post did."
No said suffering want good. Lots of people like things that cause mild to moderate discomfort, but watching someone do something they dislike for an invalid reason seems to be the context. Lots of people like raw onion, but the consensus seems to be that few people would enjoy sitting there and simply eating an entire raw onion.
Raw red onion is amazing in sandwiches, and I've eaten chopped white onion on hot dogs, and that's pretty good, too. Just straight-uo eating an onion by itself? No.
