Which analogies can be used in a hyperbole? [closed]
I want to ask if we can use any kind of analogies when using an hyperbole in a sentence? For example, are these acceptable examples of hyperbole?
- He changed his decision faster than a pion could decay.
- She reached the place faster than light could.
- His screams echoed throughout India.
- She was done even before an electron flipped its spin.

Solution 1:
There is nothing wrong with using whatever examples you want to in hyperbole as long as they make sense. However, a key consideration is the audience you are writing for. A hyperbole about pions would not be very appropriate for the general public - most of us have never heard of pions. However, it would be useful if you were writing for a scientific community. Keep audience in mind any time you write; a bored or confused audience will eventually stop reading.
