    Like literally literally or literally figuratively? Because the thought of someone popping out the hatch with a sack of potatoes and just wildly chunking them at a drone is kind of hilarious.

        Damn kids nowadays! Back in my days we didn’t do such things. /s

        But, I still hate literally being used “wrong”.

        You’re not wrong that it means that now, but literally has meant figuratively since it started being used in the eighteenth century

      Metaphorically. The potato’s just the battery, and the actual electronics consist of a shanzhai NES clone and a novelty golf ball detector.
