I always found roller coaster metaphors to be clumsy. The fun part of an actual roller coaster is the downhill section.
I always thought the metaphor was the easy and fun “it’s all down hill from here” vs the return of the inevitable uphill slog… so the opposite of what OP drew.
I find rollercoasters to be terrifying up or down.
i do find the drawing so confusing. does the author find the uphill sections of roller coasters as the best part?
Wonder how it’d look shoop’d to adjust accordingly
It wouldn’t be that much better, since the climb up is also quite nice and scenic. Rollercoasters are fun, which is why they’re fundamentally not a strong metaphor for something that has good and bad parts.
Ya
We must be extracting just the directional kind of aspect from it, using it as a substitute for ups and downs? So it works when mostly unexamined I guess?
Kind of like “I could care less“ but that one is simply a mistake without any creativity or sensible-ish substitution (so it rubs me much worse than the roller coaster thing). Almost hope I forget about this conversation so I don’t start to mind it 😉 hehe
Edit: “clumsy” yes definitely, looking at your parent comment again
Ahhhh!!! where’s the rest of the roller coaster track??? … oh yeah, there they are! … ahhhh!!! the tracks are on fire!!! … phew!! Now they’re underwater! … ahhh!!! The roller coaster car is full of bees!!! … oh good! The hurricane will blow them all away! … AHHHHH!!!
“Yay, alcoolism!”
But what does the W in Wine stand for?
The same thing that the G in GNU stands for
This meme must be from 2007, adults have a lot more problems and a lot worse coping mechanisms now.
