Buy an internet ad that tells people the damn dollar sign goes BEFORE the number.

Not in Europe. We put our currency behind the number and our decimal is a “,” instead of a “.”
Instead we divide thousands by empty spaces or “.” (at least in Germany).

AngryCommieKender ,

And then there’s whatever they do in India, where a comma indicates the thousands place, but then they put commas every two numbers…

DerisionConsulting ,

not always. It’s a combination of 3 spaces for some, and 2 for others.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, but this is specifically a dollar sign, and in every country that uses dollars, the $ goes before the number.

DerisionConsulting ,

Not in Canada.

The prices in French have the dollar sign at the end, while in English it’s at the front.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

More accurately, in English the currency type precedes the number, regardless of what currency it is.

ECB ,

Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!

I was just thinking that I wasn’t sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred

@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Interesting. Didnt know nor expected a whole wikipedia article about that topic alone…

the_doktor ,

Why is your decimal a comma and the separator a full stop? A comma continues a thought just like it continues a number, and a full stop (period) separates sentences, much like it separates a whole and fractional part of a number. Your system is ass-backwards and you fucking know it. You should be ashamed of it.

But which is ‘before’ the number? We use arabic numbers so they’re actually reversed…

That’s just enough to buy my wife and I ice cream cones at the best place in town and leave enough of a tip that we don’t feel like we’re being cheap. Date night sorted!

DAMunzy ,

A pint of BnJs is about $8 at a convenience store near me. You might be able to get it for $5-6 at Walmart. I was just joking about how expensive it is and writing the name like Blow Job. Was just being silly.

DozensOfDonner ,

Damn that’s pretty insane. I think normally they are 4.99 euro over here and that’s already a lot imo. To be honest I only ever buy them when there is a discount or something.

Aecosthedark ,

$15 AUD for 458ml of Ben and Jerry’s here. So, whats that, 3/4 of a pint?

An icecream for me, one for my wife, and enough fuel to drive to the waterfront so we can eat them while sitting at the edge of the pier, swinging our legs.

tetris11 ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s very sweet. I guess I’d do something similar: buy a crab bucket and a rope, and head down to the waterfront where I’d swim under piers and see how many people’s dangling legs I can hook and pull under with the rope

I think I’d buy some bugs for my lizard. Maybe some hornworms? They’re very good for hydration and basically every reptile that eats bugs goes absolutely crazy for them!

If my buddy is happy, then I’m happy, too.

Here’s a picture of my ugly boy, Pączki.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

What species is this? It looks like house gecko but larger and oddly cute

Azteh ,

My guess is a Bearded Dragon

SharkEatingBreakfast ,
@SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz avatar

You’re correct! But he has a genetic defect, so he looks pretty different from a standard healthy dragon.

SharkEatingBreakfast ,
@SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz avatar

He’s a bearded dragon with a genetic defect that caused him to be born without proper scales or spikes.

Because of that, he’s a “special needs” animal, so he needs lots of extra care to keep him healthy.

I’d definitely recommend (fully scaled) bearded dragons as pets! Mine is an excellent cuddle-buddy and constantly makes me smile with his dumb goofy antics and curiosity.

caesaravgvstvs ,

OMG! That’s the best name for a pet! As a Paczki lover I approve!

python ,

Superb nakey wrinkly man!!! That Beardie morph was called something like Silkback or Leatherback right? Do they still slightly change their color like normal Beardies? :o

I’d go with the same gist of answer! I’d get some fun snack for my girl Revy, maybe Quail or African Soft Fur, and the rest of the budget would go to random fun enrichment items :)

Herps herps herps!!

Yeah, he’s a silkback. Less of a “morph” and more of a genetic nightmare. Definitely would never recommend to anyone who doesn’t have a ton of time & money to spend caring for them, + extensive experience with bearded dragon care. A leatherback is the best option of you’re looking for a bit of a smoother dragon!

Revy is adorable!! What breed & morph is she?

python ,

Whoa, that sounds exhausting haha! Do they need like, moisturizer to help them shed? :o

Revy is a Ball Python, her morphs are Black Pastel, Lesser and GHI (maybe also Confusion and maybe het Clown, the breeder wasn’t sure). Surprisingly, the cool stripe isn’t from something like the Genetic Stripe morph, just a weird effect from the combination of her 3 morphs. Her mom (also BP, Lesser and GHI) actually looks super similar, but has random breaks in the stripe, so Revy just got lucky I guess!

Huh, I didn’t know that there were beardies without scales and spikes. Judging by his face, they still shed and it looks like sunburned skin peeling.

15$?

Register a domain name based on some hair brain fantasy for the year.

Then spend the year ideating and fantasizing about what might be while doing nothing.

Thats a whole year of value for 15 bucks.

Buy Minecraft, which apparently is on sale for $14.99. It’s not quite as fun when all your friends have the official version and get to play together while you’re stuck with an - ahem - unofficial version.

Lag ,

On the topic of games, Stick Fight The Game is $5 on steam and I got it while drinking with a few friends. It was the most fun I’ve had in years. I also hop on randomly when I get a chance and it’s just as fun with random people.

lud ,

Stick flight is great!

I got it at launch.

psud ,

How long would it take you to save $15 if you tried?

Ragdoll_X ,
@Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world avatar

$15 is like 80 BRL and I don’t have a single cent to my name right now so…

psud ,

Well that sucks

toastal ,

For zero monies you & your friends could run VoxeLibre which has better performance characteristics. Microsoft doesn’t deserve your money or your user data, but I am sure VoxeLibre or Minetest wouldn’t mind a donation.

lud ,

Minecraft is still a really good game that still gets fairly large updates.

toastal ,

It’s being milked for Bedrock & there are dozens of free software alternatives with VoxeLibre being a standout

lud ,

Use java than 🤷

Or use bedrock and ignore all the bullshit if you can.

Are free versions even close to Minecraft in features, polish, and all that?

I personally think that Minecraft is one of the best games you can buy for the fairly low price, community, multiplayer, etc.

toastal ,

They are more than complete/polished with multiplatform support, with healthy modding communites, & better performance since they aren’t built on Java. In the past your money went to the developers—now it goes to megacorp Microsoft with little done in terms of maintenance.

lud ,

Minecraft has gotten a lot of updates after Microsoft bought Mojang.

I don’t personally mind paying a small amount for a good product that is constantly getting better after many years.

Sure Java could have better performance but it’s rare that it matters much on modern computers.

You do you but I don’t think paying for things is the end of the world.

slacktoid ,
@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

At that point play the free alternative and dont give your money to Microsoft. Do you love throwing your hard earned money at Microsoft?

lud ,

I just doubt that the free alternatives are as good and Minecraft is really cheap anyways.

slacktoid ,
@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

Have you tried the free alternatives? I guess to me its not the price alone its the principles of giving Microsoft money.

lud ,

But why would I really care if the money is going to Microsoft and Mojang if I’m getting a very good product?

slacktoid ,
@slacktoid@lemmy.ml avatar

Cause they have a history of embrace, extend, and extinguish, and they have played a key role in enshittification of tech and internet.

swordgeek ,

Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.

Seaguy05 ,

I just got the 24 street triple r, full tank costs me about $11. Best 2 hours of fun for $11, 100% agree with you

brygphilomena ,

Ecstacy.

Some of my happiest times were rolling at a concert. Im empathetic, happy, social, and my anxiety is pretty much gone.

jol ,

And as far as I don’t go too far, the only down time I need to recover is the next 24 hours eating junk food and watching Netflix motionless in bed.

brygphilomena ,

Oh totally. Outside of a few festivals where I took it three nights in a row, typically I was only rolling at a show maybe once a month. I couldn’t imagine doing it frequently or having an urge specifically to roll.

Tacos

MargotRobbie ,

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, would spend that 15 dollars on a copy of the “Barbie” movie on Blu-ray and digital, because nothing would make me happier.

ZombiFrancis ,

If it’s like 100 tacos for $100, I think I could go for that right about now.

Stardew valley could bring you hundreds of hours if you already have something to play on

jol ,

Version 1.6 came out this year in March. It was super fun to start a new game, so much new content.

Matriks404 ,

I don’t think I’d be happy if all my savings were reduced to $15.

jol ,

How about 15$ but you also have 24 hours left to live?

wowwoweowza ,

I will spend it educating people that we write fifteen dollars as $15.

AlolanYoda ,

I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say “fifteen dollars” and not “dollars fifteen”. That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.

Sure, 15$ wouldn’t get me far, but it’s a start!

morbidcactus ,

Super regional, remember learning 15$ in French class but using $15 everywhere else because I’m an anglophone. Personally, as someone else said, it’s a unit, totally makes sense treating it as such and I do tend to use iso currency codes when talking dollars because I’m Canadian, 40 USD is 54.75 CAD, 40 CAD is 29.23 USD, if I don’t specify that it makes things look way more expensive comparatively.

BreadOven ,

Agreed on all aspects.
