What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemmy.world)

I honestly don't understand that, I have always rounded up for money going out and down for money coming in. So if I see something priced at $3.25 my brain thinks $4, and if I earn $3.25 my brain thinks $3 dollars.

Ah but then you'll also see something priced at 3.99 as 4, same as something priced at 3.25
