we all have 'em. those tiny, insignificant battles of opinion that you’ll stubbornly defend to your last breath, even though they literally do not matter one bit. i’m talking about the truly petty stuff. like, i firmly believe that cereal is a soup. fight me.

    Whoever told you that was incorrect. Literally means the plain textbook definition of the words written, as opposed to euphemism or metaphor. If I say “I would literally die on this hill”, it means that there is an actual large mound of dirt that I am willing to lose my life on.

    Any other interpretation is literally incorrect.

      I told you I wasn’t interested in a debate. I also verified the information at the time. Now piss off.

      Edit - downvote away. But you are a fool to blindly downvote away an obvious fact that contradicts the reality you have constructed. Try and learn to change mentally with new information - it will serve you well.
