Answers to a question on a forum, usually about buying an item, that far exceed the original intent and budget.
"What is the best bicycle to ride to work, one mile on flat ground. I have a budget of $400."
"Don't waste your time with a craptastic $400 bicycle, you will need to purchase a carbon fiber or titanium frame road bike with Shimano Dura Ace components. You will quickly outgrow your work commute and will need a bike that can handle 100 mile events. Expect to pay in the neighborhood of $5000. I'll sell you mine for $4800."
"I asked a car performance forum what is the fastest car to buy for under $25,000 and they told me to buy a $70,000 Corvette Z06 . Stupid forumflation, that's not what I asked for." forum inflation
