While it’s super annoying for the tech savvy, and gives a great opportunity to ill willed tech people, I’m sure it was an idiot proofing move. The average user is a not-so-tech-savvy office person, having relatively fuck all knowledge on extensions, and back in the day pretty much all programs got picky when facing an unknown/unsupported extension. Your average Joe/Jolene opened ‘veryimportantspreadsheet.xls’, renamed it to ‘veryimportantspreadsheetnew’ (without the extension), and made it impossible for Excel to open it by double clicking. Then in the best case they triggered an IT support request; in the worst case they reported that the very important spreadsheet got lost/corrupted and data was lost.

As you said, it had the buying power of $1.25. Therefore, at the same size and at the price of $1.25, it would be perfectly alright. Don’t blame inflation, blame greedy companies increasing prices above inflation AND also shrinking portions.

I’m otherwise not super deep into economics so thanks for the correction. TIL.

Also, if you’re rooting for deflation: more often than not, when deflation happens, things are not going great in terms of economics.

Also, the one with the hole requires less material for the same lever width.

Yeah, but since an infinite number of monkeys are working on it already, it will be just one copy for each of the infinite number of monkeys.

Oh, so THAT’S why they brought Excel into this! I didn’t make the connection and just thought Excel would even consider a glass of water a date.

Thumbsticle?

If they keep the mindset and they don’t put themselves/their own friends or family above anyone else, they have a better chance at not fucking up the planet like humans did. Our own selfishness got us to the point where our own gains overweigh other people’s misery - see billionaires, famine, wars and the climate.

They are like an ogre, they have layers.

I’m the kind of person who reads step 1, does it, and then goes on to read step 2. I’m happy I’m not OP.

Can’t fucking wait for the grocery store to play Sandstorm.

That explains. I didn’t remember seeing this UI graphics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Volt

So how many stuffs have you done this far?

That’s not just an axofewl!

I would say it would’nt be able to happen due to greed exclusively. You need an entire nation (race! the entire human race) to be selfish, dumb and hateful enough to allow these buffoons to rise to power, in the first place.

The orange faeces sprinkler could have done literally everything, have the voters been empathetic and intelligent enough - he wouldn’t have gotten much further than being the head of a hotel company, or something. At best.

But yet, here we are, because the entire human race, the human DNA itself is designed to be a selfish dick, and prioritise themselves or their closest circle (friends/family) over anyone and anything else. This will be our end, and hopefully it happens before any other forms of life cease to exist on this planet.
