Just a reminder that the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

Nothing funnier for americans than people getting raped in jail.

So you are not metaphor friendly then.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Just in case you don't realize: the "dildo of consequences" is a metaphor. There isn't a literal dildo involved.

Unless that's your thing. I don't judge.

It's an expression mate - it doesn't mean what the literal words translate to, just like "sticking your head in the sand" doesn't mean somebody has actually dug a hole in the sand and put his or her head in it.

Don't confuse your own ignorance with malice from somebody else.
