This is how we convert them. Using burger metrics to help understand the labor theory of value.
how many burgers do you need to make a coat?
We talking coats back in Marx's day or like a North face jacket?
only the most synthetic of polymer fleeces!
So uh instead of saying 10 yards of Lenin do we say like ten oil barrels of crude?
I've heard of size queens but this is ridiculous
Soz for slipping in some personal interests
let's say cheeseburgers, specifically. american cheese can be readily turned into polyester, i understand.
Do you really have to turn it to anything?
no, we're using burgers here, dammit!
How many yards of meat to make Gaga's met dress?
But in a few parts Mark goes 1 coat equals ten yards of Lenin equals an ingot or some shit of iron equals several pounds of like some spices or some shit.
We gotta do something similar but jn American borgor talk
This is so silly it actually seems like a good idea
Before I went vegan, I had the idea to make a site that calculates the cost of Whoppers in your geographic area so you could say something like "I'm not buying this new game, I could get 27 Whoppers for that price" when your friends question why you pirate everything.
Technically still could but Impossible Whoppers are going to be a significantly worse ratio.
Someone beat you to it
Lmao
Burger brained since 1986
many ppl are saying this. the burger is a window and door into the American mind
