minus-squareChainweasellinkfedilinkEnglish126•2 years agoOn Amazon you can get a 24pk of Charmin toilet paper for $37. That’s $1.56 per roll. There are 150 sheets of toilet paper on a roll so that’s $0.01⁰⁴ per sheet. The Russian ruble is at 101.00R to $1.00USD, making it equivalent to $0.00⁹ (9 mil) in USD. It’s now officially cheaper to wipe your ass with Russian money than toilet paper
