  Nice analogy. I used this one in the past: “you can’t fix a full disk by deleting word documents”, but I like yours more

    Always used to amaze me as a kid I had to pay 20p to inflate my bike tyre from, air.

    Boggled my mind since I had a hand pump.

      To be fair, those automated air pumps require upkeep (e.g. compressors fail after awhile and aren’t always super cheap to replace when factoring the cost of the part and labor to fix). So that’s what your money was paying for, not the air itself. But, I agree it is a bit ridiculous.

      As a side note, I highly recommend those portable air compressors that can plug into your car’s aux port. Super convenient in the winter time when your tires’ air pressure drops.

    I’m not sure how is this applicable?

    If you have storage for documents, they will fill it up and you have to remove them.

      One shitpost meme video in your downloads folder = hundreds of Word docx files. Pick the low hanging fruit.

        If you put meme videos on production storage, then the hanging fruit is you
