This is why literature is dying. If it’s not literally, explicitly, no ambiguity at all stated, then it doesn’t exist. Have you never heard of what a pun is? It’s a literal play on words. Twisting them slightly for the sake of a joke.
People can’t understand this and then they jump on Reddit/Lemmy and have “discussions” where they do the same shit and can’t grasp any nuance or thought deeper than surface level.

I mean, a it‘s not a play on words because the saying “la melange est la saveur/epice/piquant de la vie” just makes no sense. It’s not that I want things to be literal, it’s just that this particular “play on words” doesn’t even exist.
