Yes, something that’s like something else is also literally like it, because literally emphasizes that it’s really true. But “I literally died laughing” is wrong unless you’re actually dead.
Comment on "Literally" literally does not mean "similar to in some way".

But if something is “literally like” alleging else, does that not just equate to similar too since the literal definition of similar is to be like something else?

Mere similarity implies incomplete equivalence.

Never thought about it like that actually, that’s good.
