Currency conversions are such bullshit. I'll throw a price in a converter for work and it'll be like "1000 in XYZ money is 10 in USD" and then I'll read that you can buy a full meal at a restaurant for the calculator equivalent of 5 USD. Like if your conversion isn't "what is the equivalent buying power of this currency compared to yours" then what is even the point of converting??

#like there's more extreme examples but I'm going to canada next and like #they say $1 CAD is only 78 cents USD #but you can buy drinks for like $4-$8 CAD which is $3-$6 USD and at LEAST half the price they would cost in the US #and a rental car is like $20 USD a day #so like how tf does that indicate that CAD is of lesser value than USD
