:I would say this is an application of the "today's lucky 10,000" concept, but this probably doesn't qualify as a thing that everyone knows by the time they're an adult so the number is probably lower. But I hope this experience of learning something new is still as fun as Coke and Mentos! [[User:Dextrous Fred|Dextrous Fred]] ([[User talk:Dextrous Fred|talk]]) 19:47, 23 March 2026 (UTC)<br />

:Since economic inflation is money becoming more worthless and therefore de-facto vanishing, it would be better represented by ''body deflation''. That is - character becoming increasingly more gaunt and skinny, until only pile of bones remain (or if cartoonish, until he becomes thinner than fishing line and collapses into a point). Dunno what sort of weirdo would use images of starving people (e.g. victims of nazi death camps) ''for sexual gratification''. --[[User:User 8496351|User 8496351]] ([[User talk:User 8496351|talk]]) 07:56, 24 March 2026 (UTC)<br />
: Well, I've obviously led a sheltered the last seventy years as I've never heard of body inflation.--[[Special:Contributions/2A00:23CC:D248:8901:D030:98E4:E22B:D2EF|2A00:23CC:D248:8901:D030:98E4:E22B:D2EF]] 08:56, 24 March 2026 (UTC)</div>2A00:23CC:D248:8901:D030:98E4:E22B:D2EF
