I said regressives, most of which I'd wager are cishet men.

That doesn't count cishet men outside of the regressive group. I hope, otherwise I'd be in trouble with myself

hah that's true, good point

Sell it to women first and let them broadcast that they wont date any regressives.

Im assuming the regressives are mostly young cishet men

isnt this more of an image vision task than a simple utility task?

I'd be amazed if each of those panels coordinates were annotated somewhere

You brought rationality to an irrational topic. How dare you

You have 3 wishes, as indicated by the candle.

I know two 9anime copycats, and they are excellent

gorge on life's creativity, withdraw from life's realities.

The word I use is "withgorge"

ncdu, it's a pretty decent utility for interactively exploring your rectum whilst traversing the deep hierarchical layers of your soul

and what's the deal with airplane food!?

I once met Kat Boarding in real life, she was really nice

oh, doy! blinded by the numbers, fixed now

Let me know if you spot any more goofs

35,863,120 sesterces = (times by 2) 71,726,240 loafs of bread = (divide by 3) 23,908,746 USD

Isn't that right?

Starmer kissing the pinkie ring paid off I guess, well done to him for navigating that

From the wiki link above:

... soldiers of the Rhine army who rose against Tiberius.... demanded to be paid a denarius a day, and they got it.[3]

One Sistertius is worth 1/4 of a Denarius, and 1/2 a Sisterius can buy a loaf of bread.

So 1 Denarius a day = 4 Sisterius = 8 loaves of bread a day

If we assume 3 USD is the price of a loaf of bread now, then these soldiers were being paid 24 dollars a day. Seems pretty low, but I guess bread was maybe more expensive back then?

Soldiers now make around 60 USD a day (random googling), so we're dealing with a factor of 3 error which doesn't seem so bad

Where did that 15 billion number come from?

Diocles' lifetime winnings, as recorded in Roman inscription CIL 6.10048, totalled 35,863,120 sesterces (HS) over a working life of 24 years. From this, he would have been paid an unknown sum by his management team, or his owners; his status as slave or free is not certain, nor is the likely amount of his total share.

• Plugging that into this website: https://testamentpress.com/ancient-money-calculator.html, gives ~ 390 million USD
• Reading this stack exchange post, gives ~ 60 million USD
• Reading the wiki page on Sesterius "A loaf of bread cost roughly half a sestertius", where bread now costs about 3 USD, so that's ~ 215 million USD

Still a lot obviously, but where did that factor of 10-100 come from?

is 9anime not good?

There were no funds to manage.

Or so you kept claiming
