The “I got a big tip on a small bill” part suggests America, but the “three ten year old boys in public without anyone calling the cops” suggests Europe. Hmmm
honestly not necessarily, i’ve converted my currency to dollars when talking about prices before because i know there’s just a lot of Americans online and everyone else has already adapted to understanding how much a dollar is in their currency anyway
I convert Australian dollars to USD when talking about prices before because i know there’s just a lot of Americans online and everyone else has already adapted to understanding how much a dollar is in their currency anyway
I have. A US dollar is worth about 1.5 Australian dollars. If you don’t care about accuracy and just want an easy conversion you can double the price. I don’t usually convert currencies into Australian dollars, rather put the approximate conversion next to it. But I definitely have adapted to understanding and interpreting what the yanks say
Why though? Making everything US-centric helps no one. Have you started talking about one-sixteenth of an inch and tipping people?
Yes we have a dollar and it can be confused with other dollars around the world. Putting in AUD clears up any confusion there and people can do their own conversion and learn something about another country.

I mean the dollars means it’s not Europe

You know, the US is not the only country to use a ‘dollar’ as the term for its currency.
I had once been flamed by people who didn’t know that

Huh? No we haven’t? Just put AUD next to the dollar amount.

yes but when someone says “dollar” on the Internet the chances are they mean USD
$20 says otherwise
Aww Canadian money, this is worthless.
It isn’t worthless, it is washable!

I don’t think that’s true.
I can think of anything in Europe, but it could technically be the Phillipines too if we are just going off the $ symbol.
Who said that’s a dollar sign?
Also “check” suggests America
This might be news for you, but tipping exists in a lot of places other than just America.
It does not exist in the vast majority of the world. But yeah there are stupid tipping expectations in Canada and a few other places too.
The anti-American nonsense on Lemmy is ridiculous at this point. That’s just objectively wrong, it exists in majority of countries, even when gratuity fees are included: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/tipping-customs-around-the-world
Everyone listen to Cum, he’s right about this.
