I was waiting for my cosin the other day at a bus stop… he arrives, he’s eating a burger. I asked how much he paid for it, he said $3. I just came back from a computer store and bought a 32GB flash drive. Guess how much that thing cost me… you guessed it, $3.
So, basically, a flash drive that I’m gonna use in the next 3 or 4 years is the same price as a burger that I’m gonna eat and shit out in the next few hours or so.
IDK about everyone else, but that seems whacked to me.
Lol, I don’t live in the US 😂. The price in $ was to cater to Lemmy users, which are mostly from the US from what I’ve gathered 😂.
But google for the price of flash drives these days, you’ll see that a 32GB one is about the same price as a burger, wherever you might live in the US.

Where can I get one for $3?
$3.59 for 32 gb.
Yeah, read the reply above, I don’t live in the US 😂.
Where are you buying flash drives for 3 bucks?
Where is your cousin getting burgers for 3 dollars?
What decade is it?

Now do burgers.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
That one’s even USB 3.1, the one I bought was just plain 2.0 😂.
$3, 4, doesn’t really matter. My point was they’re dirt cheap, and food is getting really really expensive.
