They didn't send it to every single person in the city. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago I think you might have taken it a bit too literally. It’s clearly an uber push notification, so the implication is that everyone in the city (who uses uber and has the app installed) got a notification. permalink fedilink source parent [–] timewarp@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 child) You know what is hyperbole? Calling it a secret tax hike. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] forrgott@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Or deliberately misquoting somebody to change the scope of their statement. "Everyone" is not in op post, unless he edited it out. I'm on op side here, though 😝 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] huppakee@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago Not that i care that much about there being an exaggeration, but "Everyone" is literally in the title of the post?
