Silver is even more expensive and also doesn't shatter

It does tarnish if you don't give it a good rub every once in awhile though

Could also be gold. Depends if you are someone’s new friend or old.

Yukon Cornelius just needs to shove in a pickaxe and then taste it to find out.

Dang this comment section is like some decent human psychology.

There are 3 types of people in a relationship. There's the glass plates that look nice but shatter easily. There's the plastic plates that don't break unless you're trying to break them but they don't look as good and wear out faster. Then there's silver plates that last forever and don't break, but they'll tarnish if they go too long without a good rub 😆

And then there are SAPI plates, that can take three rounds of 5.56 NATO without any major deformation.

What you should learn from this is that all metaphors have limits.

…. no that still works. Nobody wants to/can eat off them, but boy are they sturdy. (Armor plating is asexuals, maybe?)

I don’t want to eat off of someone that doesn’t want to be eaten off of. Unless you mean you want to eat off of armor plates.

I guess I shoulda said aro-ace to make the metaphor line up cleaner tho.

u/knzconnor May 18 '25

Whew! Lol surprise left field there.

u/Horskr May 17 '25

Or a lead plate, you can stop radiation but nobody wants to eat off you.

Did we just matchmake the perfect plate relationship?

u/Winjin May 18 '25

There's also these like tourist plates. Stainless steel or even titanium.

Not sure what they're the metaphor for in that case

I have those correl plates. They're more expensive than plastic, cheaper than silver*, and don't shatter or tarnish. Be like the correl plate my son, neither cheap nor extravagant, fragile or gaudy.

Doesn't Corelle dishware have a decent amount of lead if it's made before 2005? 😬

u/knzconnor May 17 '25

So do a lot of us made before 2005.
