Why can't Japan have a normal money system

>oh, lunch cost me 80,000 cents.
>>
>>220297792
I don't get what you're saying.

Was it a restaurant that didn't accept credit cards?
Unless it's a street stall, most places accept them.

He means Yen has way to many zeros
Like, you could say 1 dollar or 100 Yen
100 dollars or 10.000 Yen
1 million dollars or 100 million Yen
Always two more zeroes
>>
What’s the point of dollar if you already have cent.
Just say 100 cents
>>
>>220299595
I refuse!!!
You are the devil!

It's Japan's fault that you abolished the Sen (銭)
In a perfect world, we could have had 1 Yen = 100 Sen but you don't want that

Why can't Westerners have normal family system
>>
>>220299704
Why can't Japanese have normal family name system?
Why is it
>Takeda Hiroshi
instead of
>Hiroshi Takeda
Is the family more important than the individual?
>>
>>220299623
>>220299633
We don’t have Sen anymore but we have 4 seasons in my country.
German has no seasons bc wypipo don season dey country LOOOL!!!

big endian vs little endian
the same reason why europeans write the date backwards
28-03-2026 is ambiguous until the person finishes speaking. 2026-03-28 is always unambiguous
>>
>>220299704
you can't control it if you are born in the wrong gender.

>>220299883
>28-03-2026 is ambiguous until the person finishes speaking
No it isn't lol
I could only say 28.03. and mostly people would know I am talking about the current year of 2026

>>220299734
>German has no seasons bc wypipo don season dey country LOOOL!!!
That was actually kinda funny

if it is the same reason here...one time in the 1970s commies tried to issue new currency ... and they fucked it up somehow it massively inflated the money.....millions went from riches to rags over nights....hundreds commited suicide....the central goverment was a hair away from total collapse....from that point on nobody dares mentioning about swapping currency anymore....nobody wants to take the blame
>>
>>220300373
it's not swapping currencies, it's keeping everything the same except adjusting the numbers.
>>
>>220299987
>mostly
that is the problem. hidden context. big-endian format is unambiguous and, incidentally, sortable
>>
We had the same problem before the Euro, we talked a lot about taking away 3 zeros.
I think France did that in the past with the Franc.
>>
>>220300770
The sort thing works for computers, but in everyday's speech starting always with the year
Is really boring since we are usually talking about the current year.
The format is practical because you specify the year only when it's really needed.

Wait until you find out how they count large sums of money in 1,0000 intervals
>This car is sold for 109.9 ten thousand
Fucked up world
>>
>>220299734
I laughed and also have to correct.
Germany has 5 seasons. Seasonlets could never.
>>
>>220297792
At least go target worse offenders like korea and indonesia
Many more zeros
I think taiwanese dollar is perfect value (1NT$=5JPY)
Decimals are subhuman
>>
>>220299734
Why is this the case? we only have 2-ish seasons here and one of them lasts 2-6 weeks...

>>220300770
doesnt your whole language only work because people get things off context alone?
