tradition defenders be like "we used to throw burning hot pennies at the poor and laugh when they burned their hands. we still do it because its important to carry this tradition. of course we wouldnt want to actually harm anyone so they're just kinda warm pennies now, but like we really like to keep doing the thing that we used to do to harm and laugh at the poor"
