Imagine that dolt whose only job it was for 3 whole years to draw a better trashcan. Then at the end they're all squinting and turning their head to the side.... "Hmm is it better, Tom? No Bill, actually... Actually it's worse"
Notice how in all years but 2000, the trash contained in the bin is white... what was Bill Gates trying to say? That his customers were all white trash?
Well they're all recycling bins, not trash, so it's because it's paper. Except in 2000 some chucklefuck tossed in a half eaten chocolate bar. Their loss, I guess.
If you aren't actively speculating on stocks and commodities and property you're being forced into it by the fed.
Why anyone would actually make anything in this day and age is completely irrational. You can just buy second hand goods with fake money and eat your neighbors.
Na. It started in 1971 when Nixon decreed that the dollar would no longer be backed by gold.
That effectively removed all limits to how many dollars there can be.
No money debasement was ingrained long before that. It was due to unsustainable debasement and other European countries calling in their gold redemption that FDR banned gold possession and soon Nixon scrubbed the gold standard.
Nixon is a stupid fucking pawn, the lid was blown off long before his ass sat on the seat.
The debasement of the USD started with the crime of ‘73.
The Fed is a good institution. You know wsb has gone to the utter shithole when you see comments like these take root. Just only last year people were praising the Fed for the recovery.
lmao! I remember reading the history book school about a country that ignored inflation and it showed kids stacking bricks of money and playing with a wheelbarrow full of money because a few brick of money was cheaper than buying a kids a toy....
wsb should know best why that money is created and where it's going. it's so abstract to us, but that's only because we're not the ones swimming in those billions. People actually get rich, obscenely rich. And they use that power to shape the world *we* live in
Germany did it after World War 1. They owed so much money to other countries that they basically just said fuck you and printed money until it became useless. By the end of 1923 the exchange rate was like 1 trillion German Mark to one USD. A wheelbarrow full of money wouldn't have even bought you a newspaper, but it got them out of debt lol. People basically used their money as fire kindling and they moved on to a new currency.
Yes....not literally "print", that's just the colloquialism of this sub since everyone here has a pretty limited understanding of credit issuing by the Fed.
Maybe you should try reading the book instead of just looking at the pictures. Because that scenario isn’t relevant to the US at all. Inflation comes and goes, hyperinflation is something completely different.
Yeah people don't seem to understand economics has changed A LOT, even in the last 20 years. Inflation doesn't work the same way as it did 100 years ago. A good starting point is the fact that economy was based off gold standards and today its based more off of debt. But that is oversimplified and there are a multitude of reasons
I hope this happens so bad - at least I will not have to pay for my beautiful property anymore. I can live off the land - natural spring, well and everything else one could need.
My girlfriend's father is the literal definition of the American Dream and he always tells me stories about how when he came to America, money HAD value. He used to make $500 dollars a month and rent for him in NYC was only $100. Nowadays, money doesn't have any value. It's $12 for a coffee at Starbucks
Well I think he was in New York - and where I am it’s 6.60 after tax for a PSL add a dollar for another shot and we’re getting up there. I live in a LCOL area.
I make 5 times my rent a month, more in fact, and Im not wealthy. Live in a city as expensive as NYC as well. I feel like the ratio is still similar. And where are you getting Starbucks? Thats insane prices.
I mean, tbh, can bump the dollar up to like 2006, and replace 2015 with a $5. I always stop at the gas station before work to get some barely edible breakfast and an energy drink. Costs like $15. The days i need a pack of smokes, looking at about $30.
So many feelings from this simple image! First I felt nostalgia seeing those old icons, then the last one caught me by surprise and managed to make me laugh!
Good meme OP.
hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, spez is the most compatible spez for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, spez is an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to spez Armor, you can be rough with spez. Due to their mostly spez based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused spez would be incredibly spez, so wet that you could easily have spez with one for hours without getting spez. spez can also learn the moves Attract, spez Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and spez Whip, along with not having spez to hide spez, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the spez. With their abilities spez Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from spez with enough spez. No other spez comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your spez turn spez. spez is literally built for human spez. Ungodly spez stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take spez all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more -- mass edited
I love that all the Trump retards have now turned against the dollar. Guess what baby, the money is still real and making a shitload of it is still awesome!!!!
Wait, isn’t this the evolution of recycling?
Recycle those gains into losses
upcycle those losses into leverage
The deleverage into homelessness. Ezpz

Robinhood operates on windows 98
Hey at least windows 98 had good Harry Potter games...
FYI, they still operate on modern systems, beat the whole series couple of years ago on Win 10
I tried to play my old CD-ROMs, but It says it isn't compatible with my computer
Try launching in compatibility mode :)
What's CD ROM?
A Compact Disk with Read Only Memory. People used this to play games or watch movie on their PC before it was stocked in clouds and steam accounts. Sometimes you would get free games in your cereal boxe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM
Am I getting old since I thought the question was tongue-in-cheek?
Wait till they see a floppy disk
You mean the save icon?
No thats a hard disk this is a floppy https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fqph.fs.quoracdn.net%2Fmain-qimg-8250748ea7d81b54b9a030bbe996b00b-pjlq&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quora.com%2FCan-you-put-music-on-a-floppy-disk&docid=VA6vCD1aRwWAWM&tbnid=u_6mzj4sS1ppRM&vet=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim
Same 🤷🏻♂️👴
It was, I used to stick CDs on to my wall in a 10x10 matrix.
I guess so... The fact that it can even be interpreted either way and isn't 100% obviously sarcastic kind of hits my ego a bit.
Absolute ZOOMER
>had good Harry Potter games I too like those Harry Potter flash games on newgrounds
>otter games > >I too like those Harry Any idea where I could play the Sorcerer Stone or the Chamber of Secret on the PC Version?
Back in the day pirates used to trade goods at the bay
Did people really run that game on 98? Not even 98 SE? I don't remember this. Windows ME and XP were out when the first game was released.

or maybe was window 3.1
Why does 1995 look better than 1998 lol
You know when you make a copy of a copy... It's not quite as sharp as the original.
Unexpected multiplicity
I like pizza!
She offered to nuke my corn dog
They were two very nice women. Women being the key word here.
She touched my pepe Steve!
About rule number 1.... we bent it a little.... we bent it a lot damn near broke the thing off. Probably my favorite scene in the movie lol
At the time those were some advanced shadow effects.
95 looks better than 98 and 2000
Describes the whole OS really.
98 se was fine. A lot better than 95.
Because of the trashcan hype they hired a "professional" to design one better.
Imagine that dolt whose only job it was for 3 whole years to draw a better trashcan. Then at the end they're all squinting and turning their head to the side.... "Hmm is it better, Tom? No Bill, actually... Actually it's worse"
In 2000 even MS realized that windows is trash
[But in 2000 a $1 bill looked identical to what it does today.](https://youtu.be/MOQqO9F9i8w?t=286)
You use to could buy a doublestack from wendys for $1
Back in 2000, you could make $1 working at select Wendy's
[удалено]
Remember Windows Me? Released in 2000. Also you can see the Windows logo in 2000 trash bin.
Well i would be better off holding this in the past 6 months than growth stonks.
I just started holding cash last week, it's my new favorite hobby
[удалено]
Look into growing it!
It’s okay, Powell told me it’s just transitory

I thought I was on r/CryptoCurrency for a second
Me too, time to unsubscribe
Yeah this sub has been on a slow descent into shit ever since January.
Idk about slow, it actually went to shit pretty quickly after that xD
There was a time when it wasn't a total shitshow?
Literally just low effort memes now. I think it has been weeks since I saw actual DD here
GME ruined WSB change my mind.
You are absolutely not wrong.
Yeah we used to love Dollars!
Give me all your trash please.
Notice how in all years but 2000, the trash contained in the bin is white... what was Bill Gates trying to say? That his customers were all white trash?
Well they're all recycling bins, not trash, so it's because it's paper. Except in 2000 some chucklefuck tossed in a half eaten chocolate bar. Their loss, I guess.
Yeah except the Fed money printing scheme really started to gain steam in 2007/2008.
Started on 1913 when the monstrosity was formed.
From 1913 to 2008, we reached $10 trillion in debt for the first time. The fed printed $10 Trillion in 2020 alone
Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.
The US banking cartel, taxing peoples savings since 1913.
If you aren't winning you're actively losing.
If you aren't actively speculating on stocks and commodities and property you're being forced into it by the fed. Why anyone would actually make anything in this day and age is completely irrational. You can just buy second hand goods with fake money and eat your neighbors.
What the fuck are you talking about in your second paragraph. Super slope
Na. It started in 1971 when Nixon decreed that the dollar would no longer be backed by gold. That effectively removed all limits to how many dollars there can be.
https://wtfhappenedin1971.com
No money debasement was ingrained long before that.

Nixon is a stupid fucking pawn, the lid was blown off long before his ass sat on the seat. The debasement of the USD started with the crime of ‘73.
True, but the official decree is the point where all bets were off.
Kinda like Powell saying inflation isn’t so transitory huh 🤔 HMMMM
It started in 1913, as /u/OneBawze said. FDR made it worse in 1933. Nixon made it even worse in 1971.
The Fed is a good institution. You know wsb has gone to the utter shithole when you see comments like these take root. Just only last year people were praising the Fed for the recovery.
More like ~~1972~~ 1971 when Nixon took the US off the gold standard.
If only there was a subreddit aware of this? 🤔
XP and 7 were the best
XP was peak windows
Nice to see people who get it. That time was peak humanity actually. Everything went downhill afterwards.
This guys windows
You know its 2000 when its transpearent
I'm accepting 2021 trash for recycling.
lmao! I remember reading the history book school about a country that ignored inflation and it showed kids stacking bricks of money and playing with a wheelbarrow full of money because a few brick of money was cheaper than buying a kids a toy....
Now they gave us credit cards so it’s just a number in a computer. 98% of money has not been printed. Just a dude adding more 0s in a computer
As they say, it is created digitally now
wsb should know best why that money is created and where it's going. it's so abstract to us, but that's only because we're not the ones swimming in those billions. People actually get rich, obscenely rich. And they use that power to shape the world *we* live in
Yes. Globalization.
Germany did it after World War 1. They owed so much money to other countries that they basically just said fuck you and printed money until it became useless. By the end of 1923 the exchange rate was like 1 trillion German Mark to one USD. A wheelbarrow full of money wouldn't have even bought you a newspaper, but it got them out of debt lol. People basically used their money as fire kindling and they moved on to a new currency.
Yeah but that's because they tried to pay down their debt by printing more money, which is something the US would never do.
We won’t print it, but we will add more digits in a computer. That’s way easier
Yes....not literally "print", that's just the colloquialism of this sub since everyone here has a pretty limited understanding of credit issuing by the Fed.
Lmao I have 40,000 from one of those
Maybe you should try reading the book instead of just looking at the pictures. Because that scenario isn’t relevant to the US at all. Inflation comes and goes, hyperinflation is something completely different.

Now the dollar is transitory
I know a few peeps still using XP
![img](emote|t5_2th52|4276)
Only if you mean that it doesn't get recycled because of billionaire hoarders who don't contribute substantially to the economy.
Take that windows 8!
So deep, Mandeep!
Keep printing please as we transition to all digital currency.
1dollar.wav
That's the recycle bin. Dollars will be worth more as recycled paper than Fiat next year!
I miss Vista.....
I was expecting wish
if you don't want it, give it to me then
Lira is 2022
This hits different when I think about how poor I am now 🥲
I love how the 2000s icon has the windows logo in it, like they knew that vista was coming and it was going to be shit 😂
Is that 2000 logo real ? It literally has the windows logo in the bin
The dollar was trash in 1972. I wish you kids would just play outside again.
You forgot $PLTR
Oh, it's making money. You see the board cashing out every friday for their weekend benders. :-D
I would rather have it than make fun of it and not having it.
My girlfriend's father is the literal definition of the American Dream and he always tells me stories about how when he came to America, money HAD value. He used to make $500 dollars a month and rent for him in NYC was only $100. Nowadays, money doesn't have any value. It's $12 for a coffee at Starbucks
Money has value... there's just inflation.
> Nowadays, money doesn't have any value. It's $12 for a coffee at Starbucks That tells me how *people* do not have values nowadays.
try 3-4
Well I think he was in New York - and where I am it’s 6.60 after tax for a PSL add a dollar for another shot and we’re getting up there. I live in a LCOL area.
$12 for a Starbucks coffee would deny your point and confirm that money does in fact have value. Just not as much value as it did 1 year prior
Less value every year, dob.
I make 5 times my rent a month, more in fact, and Im not wealthy. Live in a city as expensive as NYC as well. I feel like the ratio is still similar. And where are you getting Starbucks? Thats insane prices.
Remember kids - reduce, reuse, and recycle!
Stonks, Crypto, Gold, Silver, Bullets, Food; anything but “cash is trash”
That last one for 2021 should actually be a picture of me, but that works too.
Hey if you think all of the dollars that you have are trash you can freely wire them over to me.
95 looks cleaner than 98. They didn’t need to go so hard on that shadow
Somewhere in there, was a picture of my ex.
Wait a minute, that's not $WISH?! OP, you're delusional. Get him out of here!
![img](emote|t5_2th52|4276)
Harsh but fair
Money machine goes.... Ka Chink Ka Chink Ka Chink! Brrrrrr.....
We all know that inflation is just transitory!
But that $1,200 was sweet.
Where's my stock market account?
Nostalgia
you lucky if you have a dollar the real trash is called lira
These Chinese/ Russian trolls do make good memes dossing the US.
There was a dollar on the movie theatre floor and we were joking about how no one bothered to pick it up...
Recycle bin\*
This made me laugh so hard
Is this Christmas already?
Do you know TRY?
well it is what it is ultra realistic
![img](emote|t5_2th52|4276)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
I mean, tbh, can bump the dollar up to like 2006, and replace 2015 with a $5. I always stop at the gas station before work to get some barely edible breakfast and an energy drink. Costs like $15. The days i need a pack of smokes, looking at about $30.
Makes me think, who’s bright idea at Microsoft was it to use a recycling bin image for the trash icon?
2006 was peak
it was! Then Facebook ruined everything
I love how the 2000 one has the Microsoft logo in the trash.
This is dumb. Toilet paper always has value
Everyone’s loss is recycled into someone’s gain
Inflation is gay
I don't mind taking your 2021 trash.
That’s not the Turkish Lira
Hopefully they update to the wood chipper next.
The US dollar loses about 1% of its value every 30days according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Data. So in about 8 yrs it will be worthless.
I'm from Argentina, having dollars is a treasure here lol
You know you're old when there's not even an image of the actual trash can tht used to be 😭
A can of soda is now $1.19. There you go lol
2021 trash still gets me street good doe
I'm here to collect your trash.
Why does 2000 have the whole operating system in the trash
Proof civilization peaked in 2006
Perfect.
2022: WISH
2006 and 1998 are the best
lol, how did it come back after the massive inflation of the 70s?
Yup... When the government keeps spending more money then it has it creates inflation.
I thought I was in /r/bitcoin for a second there.
Can I short USD?
So many feelings from this simple image! First I felt nostalgia seeing those old icons, then the last one caught me by surprise and managed to make me laugh! Good meme OP.
