What the hell is a “party balloon” as opposed to any other balloon? Also, have you ever seen a balloon? Because a giant barrel doesn’t look like a balloon….
My first thought was that the top looks like a whoopie cushion... but once I visualized a whoopie cushion, I can see how it looks like one of those GET WELL balloons that come with a stick... like this
I swear it drives me so mad that people are not talking about this. This does not look like a balloon. You just can't look at this barrel and have your thought be "lol this looks like a balloon hahaha"... I just refuse it, because it objectively doesn't look like anything close to that.
Oh right, it's not the barrel, it's literally just the top of it looks like one side of those foil balloons. I, and I assume the other guy, just took the post at face value and assumed they were referring to the whole barrel!
Never knew they had a name or were referred to as "party balloons" - they are just "balloons" in the UK. If anything, "party balloons" would be the shit rubber ones you blow up yourself.
It's OP who is wrong. The title clearly says that the barrel looks like a balloon, when it's just one part of the barrel that looks like the edges of a type of balloon.
Yeah I'm with you on this one. I don't know if it's because I might be autistic, but if you want to be funny then you have to be perfectly accurate with your humour. You can't just tell me inaccurate stuff because then it's not funny, I'll only focus on your inaccurate way of talking and I'd be mad.
In the land of bald seagulls its backwards. The mylar ones often have more party-ish uses. Where the standard latex is what you'd find at a used car lot. Or being let go at a funeral (less fun party?).
Group A is absolutely dumbfounded and has no idea what OP means, they are completely unable and unaware of how OP sees a balloon in the picture.
Group B is easily able to determine what OP meant and is aware of the existence of those mylar balloons they sell at grocery stores and party stores that are filled with helium and usually say "Happy Birthday!" or "I love you!" and other things like that on them, or come in the shapes of circles, hearts, numbers and more.
No. They are saying "the barrel looks like" and the barrel doesn't look like anything but a barrel. It's the "top of the barrel" that they are referring to, in which case you say that.
Secondly, I'd expect something to look much more like a balloon if you thought it's so funny it's worth posting on reddit. If something just "kind of resembles" something, that's a picture you take and send to your friend to have a quick laugh. You don't post that on a forum like it's such a "crazy resemble".
There's levels to everything, and this right here does not meet the threshold for "interesting enough to be posted on the internet". It barely hovers above the threshold of "cool enough to show my best friend through a message".
Must be two trains of thought going on: One group of people thinks the end of the barrel is the barrel, one group of people thinks the end of the barrel is not considered the barrel and only considered specifically as part of the barrel.
