> This is a satire article, where I use humor, irony, and exaggeration to invite reflection.

Except good satire uses exaggeration to lampoon things that are (at least partially) true in reality.

Whereas for half the examples here my reaction was, "No one has ever said that for that reason."



Seems to me if you're expecting subjective, personal and otherwise non-universal experiences to fit and perfectly align with the parameters of an objective definition, the joke is always going to sail a few hundred-thousand feet above sea level, and the satire will always smell of moldy cheese. But that's just my five quid.
