You can tell this is from 2017. Who today can afford lose a whole fish to tape to an ATM?

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 month ago (3 children)

that fish alone costs about £4 now

OH MY GOD

how much does bread cost in mexico, just out of interest

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What kind of bread? The cheaper you can find is called "Bolillo", it does cost 2 mexican pesos.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Damn that’s 0.16c in my country.

A similar bread roll here (Aus) would be 12.35 Peso.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think around here (southeast US), I could get 3 or maybe 4 bolillo rolls for $1 USD (33¢ or 25¢ each), which works out to about 5 or 6 pesos each.

damn, Walmart bolillos in the Pacific Northwest are $2.48 for 6

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, 41¢/each vs. 33¢/each isn't that big a difference, and well in keeping with the different cost of living between the PNW and the South.

Something similar looking costs €0.09 in Kaufland in Slovakia if I recall correctly. That's 1.98 pesos, so that checks out.

The most standard bread is this in my opinion: https://potravinydomov.itesco.sk/groceries/sk-SK/products/2002008382308

Cheap and 1kg of it. Approx 35 pesos.

Wish I could by a whole ass fish for 4 dollars...

Books are where it's at!

This man is for sure taping his own catches. Bunbury's just like that.

"If you give a man a fish, he'll tape it to a broken ATM in protest. If you teach a man to fish, he'll tape fish to lots of broken ATMs in protest." - the wisdom of the elder humans

What makes you think he didn't just go out and catch it?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I mean, he could, but it seems like a waste considering its high monetary value.

Probably why their bank cards have chips.

Do their wallets have a pocket for vinegar, though?

..is a brand new sentence 😄

You didn't need to cross out Troy Buswell's name, he's a larrikin politician from Perth who does shit like this and has a funny social media profile.

How does the fish make them to come and fix them?

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

The stench and biohazard. A non-functional ATM isn't an emergency because it won't get more broken just sitting there. An ATM with a fish taped to it is an emergency because the longer it sits there the worse the smell gets and the more disgusting the ATM gets as the fish decays. Plus more people will go out of their way to complain about an ATM with a rotting fish taped to it than they will about one that simply isn't working.

It's like drawing penises around potholes
