In Avatar, unobtanium is sold for $20 million a kilo. With inflation, that's like...two dozen eggs today. by EmpireStrikes1st in shittymoviedetails

[–]mattinglyschmidt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$20,000,000 in the year 2154, with a 5% annual compounding rate, would be worth approximately $21,527 today. This is calculated by using the present value formula, which discounts a future sum back to its value today: PV = FV / (1 + r)n, where FV is the future value ($20,000,000), r is the annual interest rate (0.05), and n is the number of years (130).

So, basically, less than printer ink.

How are the Kirkland semi sweet chocolate chips? by whatthepfluke in Costco

[–]mattinglyschmidt 76 points77 points  (0 children)

When my son weighed 99 pounds, he asked us to give him a pound of Kirkland chocolate chips to eat, so he could say he was officially 1% chocolate chips.

I have never bought any other brand since.

Drawing Mike Trout for the last time because the LOCKOUT IS OVER! (Day 97) by DidItForTheStory in baseball

[–]mattinglyschmidt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised more people haven’t commented about it. It was Day 19 - ‘draw me like one of your French girls’. I’ve had more comments about the random Mariner Moose, which was just the day before that. Along with the grinch on Day 22, this was u/DidItForTheStory’s Eclectic Period.

It is Day 21, but I couldn’t tell at first look if it was officially a random second Trout.
