Uhh check please!
“They’re not my armadillos to spend” is my go-to lie
This one is genuinely funny. Just letting you know. I chuckled.
The reason you have a spare is because you might need it in the future.
People seem to think that “spare” means that it’s useless, but it’s exactly the opposite. It’s “spare” because it’s useful to you. So it’s strange that people think you would give something away just because it’s “spare,” because that just means you’d have to acquire another spare for yourself.
Would you give away the spare tire for your car just because somebody asked you for it?

I mean, yeah. A spare is for emergencies. If someone needed my spare, then they can have it. We’ll replace it later. Ideally, they would pay for it, but I’m not so heartless as to haggle with a person in crisis.
But this guy doesn’t need my spare. He wants my spare because he doesn’t have one.
And yet, we live in a world where some people have more armadillos that they could use in multiple life times while half of the world population dosen’t even had one.
Why would I need spare clothes when I can only wear one pants and sweater at a time?
Fun fact; someone needing it is exactly why you have a spare, too. I would give my spare tire to a stranger that needs it, because that’s what a spare is. Then I get a new one. Edit: otherwise your spare is useless when you don’t need it.
Why don’t you have two spares in case you have two flat tires?!?
The reason cars don’t carry around two spare tires is because they consume a lot of space. cars don’t have a lot of space to store a bunch of tires. All cars carry one spare tire because most likely in an emergency one tire will go out, so you replace it then get to a shop ASAP to sort things out. If two or more tires go out, stay where you are and summon assistance.
Nevermind learning empathy. That one is going to be tricky for you, I feel.
Luckily, you don’t need it to reach the correct outcome. Look into the other concept that is kept from you, the same reason why companies seek to “collude” in the “free” market.
Selfish Altruism; it’ll make your life easier and still save your descendants. Do it for you.
Oh no the unfortunates are going to have things. How can I someone of privilege survive without things? Is this the Robin Hood paradox where rich people will end up being moochers after all the moochers take their stuff?
This is Gary Larson. The armadillos are a joke. He made a joke. That’s what he does. You made a self centered statement about your entitlements.
If you can’t tell the difference between a moochers and a person who had bad luck and need a hand then you’re not well equipped for the social life we need. Because you have more in common with that person than with the one you seem to identify with.
