It’s in rubles so $52.11
Now it’s $43.17 - inflation is no laughing matter
Just need to wait long enough to make it three fiddy
Tree fiddy.
Damn you, Sonic the Hedgehog!
more like rubbles
I know it’s a joke, but you’ve missed the dollar symbol. That’s the fine in USD.
It’s a joke.
Literally the first part of the sentence lol
But you still had to “explain it”. It’s a joke. The whole thing, including the ridiculous number (with a dollar sign) is a joke not to be taken seriously.
Yeah, it wasn’t my brightest moment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No worry! I hope I didn’t came off too much as an asshole 😔
Here ya go, googles. I got your back.
A billion of those and you’re still not even close to paying off that fine
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
Honestly looks like Rock Band Bucks.
Oof…can we get separate checks?
Relevant XKCD, as per usual: https://what-if.xkcd.com/96/
The Earth’s crust contains a bunch of atoms,[citation needed]
Lmao
Well, have you seen said atoms?
Ha ha ha! What a funny Onion headline!
checks the community name
laughs 1000x harder
Most sensible Russian legal decision:
Missed opportunity to fine Google $1 googol.
It should have been $Googol instead.
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.
Can we calculate when it will be
Google should send them a $50 Play store card instead
A redeemed one
This is why people don’t take Russia seriously.
is there a “non-credible economics” community?
hexbear.
… I mean, yeah. lmao
Case in point: the most recent post there as of right now is a video by an Ancap accusing someone else of economic illiteracy 😂
Twenty putillion dollars
Isn’t that… More money than the GDP of the world?
I think that $20 decillion not only blows the GDP of the planet out of the water, it is also several orders of magnitude larger than the entire valuation of the entirety of the planet including the core.
Edit: looked it up, and the GDP of 2023 was just over $100 trillion.
So google got fined 2x10 ^ 34?
The earth is made up of 1.33x10 ^ 50 atoms. An A4 sheet of paper is made up of 8.37x10 ^ 23. Let’s assume roughly a dollar bill is 1/8th of an A4 sheet, so 1x10 ^ 23.
The atoms in the dollar bill (10 ^ 23) multipled by the fine total (2x10 ^ 34) is 2x10 ^ 57.
This means if every atom on the entire earth was rearranged into dollar bills you wouldn’t have enough money. You would need to do that to a million earths to pay that fine.
Disclaimer: I half assed this math on my lunch break and I trusted Google AI results for the atom counts
2 × 10^37 according to the headline, but yeah.no, I miscounted.
I value trees more than you
Honestly based, EU should do the same
Beat me to it
