There should totally be an inflationary rise in the amount returned.

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 47 points 2 months ago

And that rise needs to be based on $200 (the 100 he gave her given back and the hundred she lost).

Firstly if they are married it doesn't matter, secondly the bet was likely friendly. Thirdly the rush from being right after all those years is worth it

[–] Sludge@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Inflation still occurs if you're married.

Gestures broadly at everything

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Dont know why you gotta gesture like a broad but okay.

This dumb fucking joke is brought to you by the stupid side of my brain.

Edit: turns out it's not ubiquitous to have a shared account

But they probably have a shared account

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They also probably have a personal account that they can use as a discretionary fund for whatever they individually want to do.

Idk man, I'm married and we don't have a shared bank account. Shared cards, sure. I guess it's hard to make broad, sweeping generalizations - other than that inflation happens regardless.

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago

Oh, not something I looked into much personally. I just knew my parents shared an account and didn't think more into it. Edited the comment, nice to learn something random

You fixed the first one not the second btw

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Our usual has been 100 Argentinian pesos. The token actually exists, even though I'm doing way better than my wife.

The value has plummeted since we started.

[–] unepelle@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It should also be 200! Refund + bet money

[–] morto@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But not even if she had all the existing money in the world, she could pay those 200!

Be careful with !s around your numbers, kids. You might accidentally factorial!
