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! Dextrous Fred (talk) 19:47, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Not so sure closing this gap in knowledge would really count as "lucky", but each to their own. 204.77.3.72 00:07, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

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 8496351 (talk) 07:56, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Economic inflation is "more units of money needed for the same product/service", so entirely in line with "a need for more apparent body mass/volume of the same person" (e.g. BBLs, etc). At least as I understand both processes, which I may not entirely. 82.132.237.186 11:47, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Well, I've obviously led a sheltered the last seventy years as I've never heard of body inflation.--2A00:23CC:D248:8901:D030:98E4:E22B:D2EF 08:56, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
