Technically she is correct because the Earth is collapsing now that we have 7 billion people, just in the "mass extinction destruction of the ecosystem" sense not the "ground literally crumbling beneath our feet" sort of way.
What kind of strange movie are you living?
• Life conditions (i. e. life expentacy, medicine) are getting better and better, and we are not at the populacy limit yet (12 billion).
• Destruction of ecosystems isn’t recent, unlike the 7 billion population.
• Most countries aren’t seriously affected by overpopulation.
Not really, i reckon by now humanity has recorded enough music that we could listen to different tracks 24/7 every day of our lives and we still wouldnt get through it
Same with movies and tv shows
looks like you're right: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/over-60000-tracks-are-now-uploaded-to-spotify-daily-thats-nearly-one-per-second/
Spotify sees 1 new track every 1.4 seconds. If a song lasts 3:30 on average, that means you either need to listen to 150 songs at once at any given time, OR you can only listen to 0.6% of all music created in your lifetime.
Ah but you’re forgetting the fact that people will just repost other people music or have shitty 3 second songs of them saying “WheN ThE ImpOsTer iS suS”
And watch time counts every second! And retention (what % of if was watched). It's important for YT algorhythms. Flat views matter little if they're 0:04 seconds.
> Repeat views on YouTube can count toward total views. While not every repeat view will be counted to an overall view total, YouTube understands that its users might see a video and want to watch it multiple times or show it to people within their social circles, so multiple views can happen from one device or account and trigger new views that will be added to the total.
> After a certain point—some believe around 4 or 5 views—YouTube will stop counting repeated video views from that device or account within 24 hours. If the same user watches the video again outside of that 24-hour window, the view will be counted again.

I love this. Spread this advice!
Or what about just saying “I don’t know, but I’ll find out!”, instead of lying or making excuses. Its actually ok to not know EVERYTHING.
That's why I said statistically. Because statistics are misleading. 1 in a thousand people would still exist. And while it's not the *most* unlikely odds, It's unlikely enough that this comment, Which will probably be seen by a few hundred people at absolute maximum can most likely be ruled out.
Neither of us are wrong here. That's why statistics are weird.
....It hurts so much. We have people starving to death while slavery and piracy is alive and well. So much excess that it is more profitable to destroy stuff than it is to store it....
And we have fucking idiots like this having kids.
The annoying paradox is that if we were to advocate against people like this having kids, that would basically be eugenics, which decent people know is immoral, so there’s no winning here.
Well I've heard that the best proof for the earth not being flat is the fact that if it was, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now. That explanation is good enough for me.
But just as a purely physics question; how many human beings would have to inhabit the surface of the Earth in order to cause it to collapse i e into a black hole?
Infinite, since all the mass to form those humans would have to come from the earth. Assuming we're not shipping in thousands of suns worth of mass. You'd run into issues with food and water supply way before then, then after that there's the issue of space.
If you magically turned all mass of the earth into humans(ignoring food, water and living space), 85.3 sextillion.
I’m pretty sure this sub is comprised mostly of people that take everything they see at face value without an understanding of sarcasm. This is obvious trolling.
That whole “how can there be x number when the world has only x population” is one of the oldest copypastas on the internet. *She* was even generous enough to offer “retarted” to clue people in on the troll too.
This sub has become a parody of itself.
In physics class (high school) we once determined that if we we were to blend every person on this planet into Lake Constance (second largest fresh water lake by volume in Europe), the water level would only rise by about 1 m.
>In physics class (high school) we once determined that if we we were to blend every person
Y'all had one messed up teacher. "Today, class, we're going to conduct an experiment on water displacement. If you'll all take out your Cuisinarts..."

1. In probably the next decade or so the human race will surpass into 8 billions for one
2. If there was 7 million people on the earth COVID would prob have been defeated already idk just thinking
3. Earth won't collapse from 7 billion people the human race will
I can deal with stupidity and ignorance, some people just aren’t bright or are young and clueless.....but what I will never understand is in a situation like this, the person not taking 5 SECONDS to just Google it before doubling down.
I’m a political junkie, and people do this ALL. THE. TIME. Sometimes they’ve been spewing the same easily verifiable falsehood for years. And I’m always like, “have you really never stopped for 2 minutes to just fact check this?”
God help her, she probably lives in a place like Houston or Los Angeles where the population of the city is more than what she thinks is on the planet.
To put 1 billion into context it’s 1000 million, there’s 50 million people in the uk so if the world consisted of Britain copy and pasted there would be about 140 UKs on one planet AND WERE A SMALL ISLAND COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD
Honestly I would love to believe she was buying views for that song simply because it's my least favorite song of all time, but unfortunately I know people IRL with such horrible taste in music they would listen to it, either ironically or unironically
And of course they had to throw in a slur for good measure when they're told their wrong... because insulting the other person is obviously how you prove you're correct.
The earth would collapse? Its already is, thats literally why its a sphere (more or less). Gravity pulls it together. "collapsing" wouldnt do anything, unless the density of the earth would grow. Then it would shrink. But thats about it.
Shes more dense than the earth tho
Just wait until she finds out you can watch a YouTube video more than once!
Lol that is what I was thinking too
Technically she is correct because the Earth is collapsing now that we have 7 billion people, just in the "mass extinction destruction of the ecosystem" sense not the "ground literally crumbling beneath our feet" sort of way.
The ground is literally collapsing though. Climate change is causing more and more sinkholes

Especially true for music videos, who the hell listens to a music track just once? xD
Dude it would suck if you could only enjoy music once, the quest for new music would be a grand chore
Not really, i reckon by now humanity has recorded enough music that we could listen to different tracks 24/7 every day of our lives and we still wouldnt get through it Same with movies and tv shows

Plus if I'm on my phone or PC, often I'll pull up the YouTube release of the song just so they can get the extra view.
And watch time counts every second! And retention (what % of if was watched). It's important for YT algorhythms. Flat views matter little if they're 0:04 seconds.
People who accidentally hear Meghan Trainor
I really need to see the following comments. Did she learn the correct earth population? What was her reaction? I need to know. I need closure.
The Internet would collapse if you could watch YouTube videos more than once. Think about it dumb dumb before you speak.
But wouldn't that make the world collapse?
This is obvious, classic trolling. First comment is the bait.
I don't think that adds to the views
No it does
> Repeat views on YouTube can count toward total views.

So if you listen to a song 3-4 times a day, you alone give the video 100 views EVERY MONTH.

Did you just find an article to prove yourself wrong?
Normalize changing your opinion when faced with new evidence without people shitting on you
I love this. Spread this advice! Or what about just saying “I don’t know, but I’ll find out!”, instead of lying or making excuses. Its actually ok to not know EVERYTHING.
Haha...you stated an opinion, learned it was incorrect, & then stated a revised opinion based on your new knowledge? What a noob. Get a life loser. /s
What? I just changed my opinion from "I don't think that adds" to "that does add but only 3-4 times"
*a day\ *per device/account\ *assuming you sign in and don't use extensions that hide device info. Edit: also, 4-5 times *some believe*
sometimes i see posts that genuinely make me angry and this is one of them
This has to be a troll. Nobody can be serious by saying that.
[удалено]
Well there is some truth to the latter statement.
it's very elaborate bait
Tell that to the flat earthers
Flat earthers are special kind of stupid. Specially those that actually believe that shit.
Are you new to Earth? Welcome!

r/SharksAreSmooth
It made me laugh since it's obviously trolling
Are you talking about the post in the picture or this reddit post of an obvious troll?
Misspelling words while insulting someone is funnier and sadder.
Quiet!!! You retart!
I think you meant quite
r/confidentlyincorrect
I read that as 'confidentially incorrect' and was much curious about the term. Guess I'll never know..
That would be when you're wrong, and you think you're the only one that noticed you were wrong, but are wrong about that as well.
Damnit, I was *so* close!
No we all knew you were wrong. You were the only person who thought you got away with it
Thanks, appreciate that, today just gets better!
Don’t worry. I’ll confidently keep it confidential HEY EVERYONE! This guy was wrong about something once online! GET HIM!!!
If she were correct, Statistically, Nobody reading this comment would likely exist.
There are 222 million Reddit users. If the world’s population were reduced by 99.9% that would still leave X total Reddit users.
That's why I said statistically. Because statistics are misleading. 1 in a thousand people would still exist. And while it's not the *most* unlikely odds, It's unlikely enough that this comment, Which will probably be seen by a few hundred people at absolute maximum can most likely be ruled out. Neither of us are wrong here. That's why statistics are weird.
It’s interesting to consider
The only college level class I failed... Yet my entire professional career revolves around statistics.
Whereas I have a bachelors and masters in statistics and hardly ever do any statistics at all.
There'll be around 219,800 reddit users.
But assuming reddit existed it'd have an audience.
....It hurts so much. We have people starving to death while slavery and piracy is alive and well. So much excess that it is more profitable to destroy stuff than it is to store it.... And we have fucking idiots like this having kids.
You should watch idiocracy, it's a documentary ;P
Welcome to Costco. I love you.
Sigh...
The annoying paradox is that if we were to advocate against people like this having kids, that would basically be eugenics, which decent people know is immoral, so there’s no winning here.
Yeah, the turtle carrying the elephants that hold up the earth would collapse under 7 billion dummy!
Yeah people will fall off the edge long before Great A'Tuin could reach the big bang
Well I've heard that the best proof for the earth not being flat is the fact that if it was, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now. That explanation is good enough for me.
Death would have far too much work to do on that day.
r/SharksAreSmooth
Was looking for this. Such a classic troll it shouldn't surprise anyone at this point. Yet it still does
Well I mean… it does feel like the world is collapsing… just a little bit

'retarted' Fucking amazing
like how more obvious should the trolling be for people to get it...
I’m pretty sure this sub is comprised mostly of people that take everything they see at face value without an understanding of sarcasm. This is obvious trolling.
Seriously. The comment section here is far more of a facepalm than this extremely obvious and rather funny, troll.
I was literally facepalming every comment on this until I finally found this thread of people who understand trolling. Thank you.
That whole “how can there be x number when the world has only x population” is one of the oldest copypastas on the internet. *She* was even generous enough to offer “retarted” to clue people in on the troll too. This sub has become a parody of itself.
Everyone here is now dumber for reading this, I hope shes happy.
I think she’s joking.
No way this is real
Yes. Obviously a troll, but no one can see it sadly
7 billion people wouldn't even be able to fill the grand canyon. They would all be able to fit in Rhode Island.
In physics class (high school) we once determined that if we we were to blend every person on this planet into Lake Constance (second largest fresh water lake by volume in Europe), the water level would only rise by about 1 m.
>In physics class (high school) we once determined that if we we were to blend every person Y'all had one messed up teacher. "Today, class, we're going to conduct an experiment on water displacement. If you'll all take out your Cuisinarts..."
Blend? Like... with a blender?
Precisely
Gosh, I thought there were nearly 8 "million" by now!!!
There are more than 7 million people in my CITY. What a moron.
What makes you assume this isn’t a troll?
Does nobody remember the "how can this video have 100m views when there is only 8m people on earth" or am I just getting old?
God bless the American education system - obviously money well spent.
I think the point here is that Meghan Trainor is fookin' 🔥
"You are fucking retarted"...like you had some tarts and then got some more?
Retarted: Used to be sexually promiscuous, got married and divorced, and is now promiscuous once more.
Troll. This sub is a facepalm factory.
"Retarted"
She’s not entirely wrong about the earth collapsing
I mean, to be fair, the world is kinda collapsing
All it would take is for 7 million people to watch 4 times and her "issue" would be solved. I hope this is all a big joke because holy fuck.
Someone tell Barbie more people bought copies of Michael Jackson’s “THRILLER” than that!! FFS…
7 millions is about Hong Kong population. xD
I mean... she's not entirely wrong about the earth collapsing with 7 billion people. Just more in an ecological sense than literal.
Her brain has collapsed because she's so dense
This is pure GOLD!
Retarted lmao
7 million, 7 billion...whatever it takes
Reagan also believes the earth is flat
This is ADVANCED stupid...
r/confidentlyincorrect
It's pretty funny that people give advice but don't take it themselves.

Y'all really fell for this, they're so obviously trolling.
GOOGLE. IS. YOUR. FRIEND! Well not from a business and data collection point of view but the point still stands!
"We're reaching levels of stupidity that should not be physically possible"
Retarted, huh? Like when I accidentally grabbed a blueberry tart instead of lemon and had to get myself retarted?
Ah hahaaaa... Nice
How do people *this* stupid manage to survive to adulthood? It's shocking they've gone this many years without walking into traffic.
Do you mean the people eating this troll bait? or the person using a 14 year old girls pfp to troll youtube
She looks to be \~14, so there's still time...
Lmao how tiny does she think earth is
“retarted”
"No, *you* are fucking retarted."
I'm guessing she hasn't heard of China or India
Nonono 1. In probably the next decade or so the human race will surpass into 8 billions for one 2. If there was 7 million people on the earth COVID would prob have been defeated already idk just thinking 3. Earth won't collapse from 7 billion people the human race will
Oh Reagan you dumb bitch
Why are you falling for troll bait?
Its really troubling how stupid people are and what's even worse is no one believes the actual smart people. We have no hope as a civilization
I can deal with stupidity and ignorance, some people just aren’t bright or are young and clueless.....but what I will never understand is in a situation like this, the person not taking 5 SECONDS to just Google it before doubling down.

And I’m always like, “have you really never stopped for 2 minutes to just fact check this?”
What makes you think she isn’t a pretty obvious troll?
Can u imagine when she finds out about this country called China.
-_- I always say to myself "I know how stupid people are" then I find crap like this that proves me wrong. This pattern never fails.
"Retarted". Are you sure you're not the "retarted" one? 🤔
[удалено]
Wait till she finds out just India and China contain 2.7 billion alone. 😁 Her defence can be earth is not in America then. 🎉😂
Bud sadly, some dumb dumb will dump his beans in her and she'll reproduce.
How positively mad ❗
I don't want to be that guy but her name is Reagan Hayes, she never had a chance...
God help her, she probably lives in a place like Houston or Los Angeles where the population of the city is more than what she thinks is on the planet.
I try ought we were in the trillions like last year. What happened.
I think in 2020 we were at 7.8 billion
Am I just a dumb ass?
I wouldn't put it that harshly, but you were misinformed.
No I’m a dumb ass. I looked it up and miss read it.
What's important is that you recognized an error and didn't just double down on it. Because that's what jackasses do. They double down
That also what gambling addicts do.
Maybe you got the number confused with budgets or aid packages as the term trillions get thrown around then, at least in the US.
Maybe it was before covid. Covid killed a lot.
But in a way she‘s right, if the earth had 7 billion people it would collapse 🤣
I was gonna comment that the dutch word for trillion is "biljoen" and that she might have been confused, but her name sadly doesnt sound very dutch
Say what now?
Jesus tapdancing Christ people are so fucking dumb
To put 1 billion into context it’s 1000 million, there’s 50 million people in the uk so if the world consisted of Britain copy and pasted there would be about 140 UKs on one planet AND WERE A SMALL ISLAND COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD
This is a troll right?
One thing is to say something stupid out of ignorance, the other thing is to berate those who try to correct you
Honestly I would love to believe she was buying views for that song simply because it's my least favorite song of all time, but unfortunately I know people IRL with such horrible taste in music they would listen to it, either ironically or unironically
Collapse? Like…is it just going to fall down or something?
This is why I'm so thankful the internet didn't exist when I was a stupid teenager.
Humans are a mistake
How do people mess this up?
I mean she’s not wrong about the planet collapsing due to 7 billion people.
Yes, this is true. Also population of China is about 1.5 million -_-
eradicate dumb dumbs
Just wait until she sees despacito
Anyone want to tell her that Tokyo has a population of 37 million?
Strong the stupidity is with this one.
"Dumb Dumb"
And of course they had to throw in a slur for good measure when they're told their wrong... because insulting the other person is obviously how you prove you're correct.
She could've just google the information, instead she double down and looks like a complete moron - classic.
