    See, I was thinking that dragons were eating adventurers and pooping the gold they carried. …but then I realized that they’d also be pooping swords and whatnot. I reread the meme and it didn’t mention the rest of a dragon’s hoard (etc doesn’t count). Then I started wondering about the digestive system of dragons. So I’m sure you can see how these mindless memes can lead to a conversation.

      I think dragons can digest iron and bronze, but gold being a noble metal doesn’t react with their stomach acids, so they poop it out intact
