What the fuck is up with that spoons analogy for talking about motivation

Why in the goddamn hell did she decide to use spoons as her analogy in the scenario? Why is it spoons is the fucking currency of energy you spend to do a thing? Spoons was the best she could come up with? Not like... Gasoline in a car. Or electricity in a battery. Or calories even. But spoons.

Like any self-respecting American pioneer I just turned my wagon train around and made up the distance so we can just go ahead and leave this one for the buzzards

are you asking this legitimately as a question because it is answered like, pretty early in the wikipedia article that you linked yourself
This is a preventative Forum User message to try and stop a perceived issue escalating before it ever really starts, and does not prevent the headmins from taking a different opinion and deleting my post. No formal action is being taken. No reply to this post is necessary. If you want to discuss the matter further, use forum PMs with me, but I have nothing else to say so I wouldn't waste the time.
