“Sure, you can make your own gold-coated steak for 65GBP, but then you don’t have the satisfaction, flex, clout that comes from having eaten at Salt Bae’s restaurant… “The value is not in the cost of the steak,” Milhouse argued. “It’s all about the flex.”
The Flex!!!!!
$2k gold plated steak for “clout”. This is exhibit A for social media making us stupid at scale.
I would rather run naked through a thicket of thorn bushes than eat at the restaurant of some internet “chef” named Salt Bae.
- bil7 5y agoThe classic mistake of assuming that as you personally see no value in something, everyone who does is stupid.
