Funny thing.

A few days ago I looked through my pockets and found a 1935 penny. Copper pennies were collected and melted down in WW2; the pennies from that era were steel.

It wasn't worth a lot but it was an interesting find. Back in the day, you could buy a cigarette or a newspaper with that penny. I wondered how far it had traveled, and what they'd used it for.

1943 was the one year they made the zinc plated steel pennies. They've been various ratios of copper before and after (from 88% to 97%) until 1982, when they turned to 97.5% zinc with a 2.5% copper plating.

I’m gonna shit on a penny and put it in your hand and see what link you send me

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I remember your mom saying you really liked to shit on things and carry them around.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Weird that you like to talk about me when you fuck her.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Funny that you assume I'd sleep with her.

She likes to talk while she cleans my toilet and I want to make sure she doesn't try to get drunk drinking the Listerine.

I’m glad that bitch is scrubbing toilets in hell.

Kid, you got more issues than the National Geographic.

Seek help.
