Perhaps the upvote was in their own country’s social currency, but then rapid hyperinflation happened since they commented. Lemmy was just showing us its value adjusted by the current exchange rate.

Wow, I never actually listened to this song’s lyrics, so I never made this connection until now. It was always playing in the background on a Nina Simone Pandora station while I was at work (bartending at a restaurant) when I heard it before.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh really? I don’t see you with a fungineering degree.

I stopped getting Doritos when they went above $4/bag (prices are in USD and are what is printed on the bag, not what is displayed on the store shelf). I was already on the fence when it was $3/bag and stopped buying it on impulse from convenience stores. I would still indulge occasionally, but only when I could snag a deal at the grocery store. Then, around the time of the COVID price gouging, it went above $5 and I consider that insane for tortilla chips sprinkled with powder. Last time I saw the price of a bag of Doritos, I was at a 7-eleven and it was over $6. That’s fucked up. You’re mostly buying air anyway.

I was using a GTX 670 until 2022. To be fair, I also got a Steam Deck when it came out, which tided me over for a year or two with a couple new releases I wanted to play (mostly Elden Ring).
