      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.

      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
