What kind of nerds are you?
Remember: comedy is a tragedy that didn't happen to you.
One more try.
Alexei, personally, this is humour.
It's far from humorous. I saw an incident like this happen before my eyes.
On the right is a fence of a motor company, a gate. Out of the gate, one truck pulls the other turning left, and the one in front of me decided that the other should let him through...
So is a reindeer! :-)
Thank you. I laughed.

What life was like for ordinary people in the hinterland of the Russian Empire in 1903...
The salary of a petty official was 45 roubles. At the same time for the flat he paid 5 rbl. 50 kopecks. A loaf of bread cost 2 kopecks. A pail of milk cost 6 kopeks.
A bucket of cabbage - 25 kopecks. A sack of potatoes - 35 kopecks. (it was possible to bargain for 30 kopecks)
Two pounds of boiled sausage sold for 30 kopecks.
A bottle of vodka for 38 kopecks. Two herrings (for an appetizer) for 14 kopecks, and a fresh pike for 10 kopecks.
A cabmen in Uglich district charged 10-15 kopecks for their services.
A heap of birch firewood cost a ruble. One had to pay another 30 kopecks to have the wood chopped.
In general, it was possible to live rather splendidly in Uglich on 45 rubles in the early 20th century.
One could make deposits in a savings bank (20 rubles) and sometimes leave 12 rubles at the club (cards?). 85 cop.
The notebook is in the museum of city life in Uglich.

In general, for 45 rubles in the early 20th century in Uglich could live pretty well.

Multiply the prices by 1000 and you get +/- the current price scale. 45,000 roubles is the salary of an average civil servant in a major city. A loaf of bread costs 20 roubles - this is how it is now, even a little more expensive.
A sausage was a bit more expensive back then at 800 grams for 380 rubles, but you can't catch a taxi now for 100-150 rubles (in St. Petersburg).
And so, yes, at 45,000 rubles and now you can pretty well live).

Um... For a moment, we are talking about the hinterland, after all. Do you know in what village beyond 300 km from any city, you can earn 45000 at least rubles (not Belarusian)? Not going to work in Moscow or St. Petersburg, but at home, so to speak.
Um... At home... at the computer...
