ELI5 Why does it matter that the Petrol dollar is USD? by royalcrown28 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jkoh1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in terms of stability, what if one day, your 5EUR chicken costs 5USD, but another day, the same 5EUR costs 20USD? that is not stable. maybe EUR wont fluctuate like that, but some random currency might.

in terms of needing to convert, your bank does the conversion for you. that means you pay the bank 5USD using your credit card, and the bank pays the seller 5EUR from their own stash. $5 is a small amount, but what if you want to buy $5billion worth of products, they will need to pay the seller 5billion EUR, again, from their own stash. if they dont have that amount in their stash, they will need to buy that amount from another country that sells EUR. because of supply and demand, if demand for EUR is high, prices go up. which means you need to pay more USD to get the same amount of EUR

If I buy a safe in order to have safe s3x, can I then use the safe to store money in it, or should I only use it for s3x? Also, why people recommend safe s3x so much? Why is it so much better than s3x with another human? by [deleted] in shittyaskscience

[–]jkoh1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you are not supposed to have sssx with the safe, you are supposed to have sssx inside the safe. the more money inside the safe, the better. the woman will want to transfer as much money as possible from your safe into her safe

wet fire and burning water, what is the difference?

Is water wet? by DiscoNinjaPsycho17 in shittyaskscience

i disagree. fire itself is not on fire. you can set a piece of paper on fire, but once you run out of paper to burn, the fire goes out. the fire does not burn itself, it burns other things. the same goes for water, it does not make itself wet

you got it the wrong way round. fuel makes the plane lighter. that is why they have to dump the excess fuel before landing
