It’s either the total destruction of all the worlds forests, OR I take a huge financial hit with my unimaginably terrible investment into leaves as currency.
As you can see, by this logic it is … um … better for the economy … that we destroy all the world’s forests.
“Sir, we must burn down the world’s forests and destroy everyone’s economic assets.”
“Are you sure that this is the way to go about solving inflation?”
“Inflation?”
This post is gold.
This comment is autumn leaves.
So we rake it up into the trash bag, right?
I can’t even

Someone shittily draw a Lemmy leaf in MS paint so we can all award it to the leafiest of comments
But hear me out… What if…

Instantly worth 1000 bucks because I say so.

Found the Golgafrinchan

I think I really found my people on Lemmy.

“Change the currency to oak leaves Greenspan!”
(extremely dated reference)
I mean, if gold is massively devalued. Don’t think it’d ever be worth less than leaves, but given its actual useful properties (as opposed to its arbitrary use as a currency) gold’s value should be a lot lower than it is.
Imagine brushing all these gold leaves onto a pile, then with a shovel disposing of those leaves.
Well there was a maple syrup heist where $18 million worth of syrup was stolen.
Do you have any idea how many maple leaves go into just one bottle of maple syrup?
Because I sure as hell don’t.
If you want an actual answer, it’s not the leaves that go in but the sap inside the tree, and it’s a 40 to 1 ratio of sap to syrup.
A bottle will need about 30 litres (8 gallons) of sap.
Yeah, I know.
I mean I make compost, so dead leaves are a commodity I’m highly looking for to aquire.
