Apples to oranges
Comparing apples
to oranges
really shouldn't be taboo.
They're actually pretty similar.
They're actually pretty similar.
Similarities:
Food
Fruit
Roundish
Yummy
Can make juice out of them
Grow on trees
Are picked by people on ladders.
See? They are actually very much alike. I don't know why the expression "that's like comparing comparing apples to oranges" is used when someone talks about putting dissimilar items in the same category.
Instead of simply complaining about a problem in the universe, I will offer several solutions:
"That's like comparing apples
to
airplanes."
or
"That's like comparing apples
to
piles of books."
or
"That's like comparing apples
to
70s rock bands."
or
"That's like comparing apples
to
video game consoles from the 1990s."
There are countless other items that are much more dissimilar from apples than oranges.
Whoever picked oranges as the contrast to apples is a fool.
