Let's take a look here. The message being communicated was "google is much much larger than duckduckgo". Metaphor used carried that information. Communication achieved.
What's this about a goose and a mosquito? What's that adding to the communication? Seems pretty irrelevant.
- wtetzner 9y agoI think it adds a lot. Comparing an elephant and a mosquito makes it seem like the mosquito is almost non-existent. A goose compared to an elephant is much more significant. A goose can stand up to an elephant. [1] [1] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CURzgw60bFY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CURzgw60bFY
- EliRivers 9y agoGoogle compared to DDK is like an elephant fighting a goose? That is not remotely the original meaning. The original meaning was nothing more than google being much bigger than DDG. You're vanishing into the very same HN comment mental masturbation that was mentioned.
