      The Weimar Republic has entered the chat.

      Who knows how long that man had to work to earn that much paper? Twelve minutes? Thirteeeeen minutes?

      Anyway, until inflation hits at least 4,130,772,540,007,917,373,294% Americans should really stop griping about it.

        Because of the period of hyperinflation, one day I had a boss unwittingly hand me $500. She bent down and said, “Ooh! Someone dropped a quarter! Wait this ain’t a quarter, what the heck is this?” She then handed me a 1934 500 Deutchmark coin. I told her what it was, and asked her if she wanted it. She said she wouldn’t know what to do with it, so after I sold it, I gave her $75 as a 15% finders fee.

          That’s actually really cool.

          The only foreign coin I have came from a roll of quarters I got in 2015. Back when I visited the laundromat weekly. I stuck my quarters in the machine, but this one kept getting spit out so I checked it. I didn’t recognize the characters on it, but I had an Iranian coworker who might so I took it to work and asked if she knew what it was. She immediately goes, “Oh! This is a dirham! It’s from the UAE.”

          Turns out it was worth 23¢ at the time lol

            One thing I forgot to mention, the thing that gave it away was it was cast out of aluminum, so it was really light. Probably worth a lot more these days, since this was about 16 years ago

      They double the fine each week so it will reach a googol eventually.

        That means we reach a googol in ~218 weeks ≈ 4.2 years.

        I thought it would take longer.

    Following Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in 2022 more channels were added to the banned list and 17 stations are now suing the Chocolate Factory, including Zvezda (a TV channel owned by Putin’s Ministry of Defence), according to local media.

    How the fuck do you just casually say someone is suing a chocolate factory in stride without providing any further explanation. Wtf
