I was watching Rain Man which is a movie about a man and his autistic savant brother named Raymond. The autistic brother is really good with abstract numbers, but attach a unit to it and he suddenly can't do math. In the film he is asked "how much does a candy bar cost?" He says "a hundred dollars." He is then asked "how much does a new compact car cost?" He again answers "a hundred dollars." I wondered how life would be in Raymond's world. You can afford to buy any home or any car, but basic living expenses cost $100 a piece (imagine $100 a gallon gasoline). If I didn't had to drive and had a decent career, I would actually prefer to live in Raymond's world.
I like this post but I don't know how to respond to it.

well I'd just buy the planet

Then I'd buy you.
You can't buy things that aren't for sale.
Woah, thats messed up.
Like, yeaaaaaah, you could buy the biggest house you could find on the market, and the meanest ride out there, for 100$ each, but then you'd step out to buy a damn candy bar, and you'd have to fork over 100$ aswell.
You'd have to fork over 100$ to clean your ass (hopefully) a good few times aswell or even to wipe your dick!
[QUOTE=Clovis;47528940]what if you wanted to buy groceries? each potato is $100, each bread roll is $100, each pack of spice/herb is $100, etc etc. its not really a concept you can take without a grain of salt. because does each grain of salt cost $100 each?
why dont you just buy a salt factory for $100 and have all the salt in the world? its really difficult to take this concept seriously[/QUOTE]
It depends how it is sold. A single grain of salt wouldn't cost $100 unless it is sold by the grain. A pack of salt would cost $100.
Every politician would easily bribed through campaign donations thus making it a level playing field. No more then a hundred dollars per donor.
Buy the universe for $100? Why not, then I will make shit make sense and not everything would cost $100.
Buy all the money in the world so no one else can buy stuff.

I was actually about to say this. Buy all the money! How can I be so greedy?

you gotta think a bit bigger
Buy a commercial airliner for $100, scrap and sell all parts for $100 each, repeat a few dozen times and enjoy near infinite money and an easy Life.
Why pay $100 for a gallon of gas when I can just trade/sell my car and buy a new car when I run out of gas?
buy facepunch
and 100$'s expensive for it
Why would it be $100 per gallon of gas? If everything was $100 then surely it would be $100 for every quantity.
Are we also assuming $100 per kWh of electricity? Because society would collapse.
A gallon of gas costs $100,
A full tank costs $100.
A roll of toilet paper costs $100,
This shopping cart full of rolls of toilet paper costs $100.
I pay 100$ for Gold membership
Pls Garry

No body would buy your parts if they can just buy a new plane for $100.

If you're going to break it up into gallons, then you could also break it up into anything else. Sell everything by the pound. 10 pounds of steel, $100 dollars per pound, $1000 for your purchase.
This wouldn't work, because people would just figure out they could sell things in smaller/bigger units for $100 per unit. One apple salesman sells his apples at 1 apple for $100. Another sells his apples at half an apple for $100. An economy would eventually form.
Why not just buy a bank, or any large buisness? That would make the $100 per items pretty much obsolete as you would be rolling in dosh.
why not just buy a gun and commit suicide because i'm not paying $100 for my fucking combos and i doubt anyone would be willing to sell me a combos factory so i'd be screwed
i would buy a factory for $100 then sell things from it for $99
Now that's a man with a plan ^
Seems that taking up farming would be a logical choice. Why pay $100 for steak when that buys an entire cow and thus many steaks. Even more if I breed them.
How would eBay work?

Every listing becomes "buy it now"
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;47530783]Every listing becomes "buy it now"[/QUOTE]
and if multiple people choose to "buy it now" you have to keep paying 100$ more to be pushed one slot ahead in the cue
ebay would be so rich
Then everyone could afford a gaming PC. No more console wars. :dance:
Our salary would be 100$ a year
One military grade nuclear bomb please.
