    In advance I’m sorry you’re the one to receive this comment, it’s not your fault, but can we please retire this joke now? It really was funny for the first ten years, but it’s on literally every post even adjacently comparing something to something else now and I think we have to at least give it a break.

      I actually agree with you, except you didn’t choose the perfect example.

      • Trump is a slimy worm
      • That’s an insult to worms!

      “But that’s a living thing!” I hear someone shout. OK:

      • Musk is dumb as a rock
      • That’s an insult to rocks!

      I’m not even exaggerating. This has been done in a million different ways.
