The unit of mass: kg
The unit of currency: dollars
You do the math.
That’s not what the meme math is.
1kg of $1 bills = $1,000.
5·5 hours agoI travel for work overseas a lot.
The ridiculous number of EV available to the consumer outside of the US is crazy. EBRO, BYD, JAECOO, CYE, XPENG, among others as well as homegrown startups receiving government incentives to produce everything from cars to e-motorbikes and scooters.
The US is so far behind it’s laughable, the regressive cave men we have for politicians along with protectionist greed of the auto manufacturer and petroleum lobbies are wildly damaging.
Gold: ~$145,000/kg
Dollar bills = about $1,000/kg
For reference.
Edit: didn’t tap the image to see $100 bills. Add a couple zeros to the $/kg amount.
The weird thing is a) assuming you wouldn’t have to pay taxes on the value of the gold, and b) not understanding you’d still be a shitload richer yet complain about the taxes anyway. What are you all, instant Donald Trumps? Get a few bucks and immediately not want to pay taxes?

Need one of those old photo viewer thingys and just put a face pic in it, tape it to the cam.
Don’t feed the troll.
Yep. Tailgating causes fullstops.
Can’t believe they got the apostrophe in the right place.
THAT’S THE CORRECT WAY.
Merge at the lane end for fuck’s sake.
Everyone that merges early creates a spot for the closing lane traffic to move up and slows down the through lane, then the next person does it, slows the thru lane, repeat ad nauseam. So if you think you’re being smart merging early you are actually fucking up the flow. There are always people going to be running up the closed lane to try to take “cuts”, so how do you prevent that? By everyone zipper merging at the end! No open lane for them to “cheat.”
Zipper merge at the end is the only way.

By taking away any other options?
Be like google, make search so shitty and monetized the only thing left is AI results.
Nothing a piece of tape won’t fix.
Slots (or gambling) are ok as long as the user understands that you’re gonna lose, you go with a set amount of money, and once the money is gone you’re done.
Then you’re ok, you’re paying for the “entertainment” of the game and the chance of the win, again, if once the money is gone you’re done.
No fretting over the loss. It’s a reasoned choice, and doesn’t hurt anyone.
But like alcohol or other drugs it can turn bad for some people.
If you very much dislike the idea of dumping money into that form of entertainment and would rather spend it on shows, nice food, and experiences like that, great! That’s what works for you, and for most of us is far more satisfying choice.
It’s “intermittent” or “unpredictable reward” coupled with the addict’s brain wiring. The thrill and relief of a win is addictive.
If you’re not wired that way you simply aren’t going to “get it”, same as not really understanding any other addiction - at least in any way other than intellectually.
2·2 days agoThat’s a fantastic version, too.
Was thinking about this the other day for a modern song that has really stuck around. Not a power ballad or a big rock song by any stretch, but:
Fade Into You - Mazzy Star
Late edit: these, too:
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright’s version of Cohen’s original
Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
Highlighted. Just in case you have any difficulty finding the correct info before you say anything else.
