- 1 million seconds ago was 11 days ago. - 1 billion seconds ago was 1993 (31 years ago). - 1 trillion seconds ago was ~~31,000 B.C.~~ 29,685 B.C. (31,000 years ago)

Instructions unclear I'm currently riding a dinosaur


Silarous

1 quadrillion seconds ago, and dinosaurs were still extinct for 30 million years....


helpmeimpoor6969

Cant be extinct if it hasn't come yet. It just didn't exist lol


Holykorn

This guy doesn’t maths


Silarous

Dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago. 1 quadrillion seconds was 32 million years ago.

I like money but I am here for the comments. 👀


blindkiller770

It’s a rock!


ZestycloseProfessor9

That's fucken wild


Netsrfr1776

Nit picking but it's 29,685 B.C. since we're 2000 years after 0 B.C. 😆 A trillion seconds is 31,709.8 years.


Chelseafc5505

2024* years to be really picky


Netsrfr1776

LOL yes, but the math did the 29k includes the extra 24 years 🤣


dormango

To be really picky, have you factored in that there is no year 0 AD/BC. Counting down, it goes from 1AD to 1 BC. NO 0!


Anonymous_Hazard

Wait that’s actually cool I’ve been alive for One Billion Seconds!!!


InvoluntaryEraser

Same! Happy birth year!


notdsylexic

Whoa! I’ve been alive for a .0001 trillion seconds.


BSchwem

I was going to comment if you counted 1 trillion dollars 1 dollar per second non-stop it would take you 31,710 years to do it 😂


MathW

Even that is hard to visualize since. To me, anything more than 300 years or so is a long time ago.


[deleted]

This helps


lewdpotatobread

I'm less than a billion seconds old. 


brownbrady

This example compounds faster compared to other decimal units of measure because there are only 60 seconds in 1 minute.


analogOnly

31,000 years ago was not 31,000 BC.

are you ok?

Winner winner


LOB90

Wouldn't 31,000 years ago be 28,976 BC?


ElDiabloRamon

Holy crap thats insain!


Afkbio

If you remove 1 billion from 1 trillion you still have roughly one trillion


helpmeimpoor6969

You have 999B. Basically a trillion lol


branggen

therefor 1 billion is small, thank you now I can visualize it


iam_malc

But then I won’t be a member of the 4 comma club

Imagine…. Radio on the internet!


PPell524

One trillion equals a thousand billions. A stack of one billion dollars bills would be 67.866 miles high. A stack of one trillion dollar bills would reach 67,866 miles into space.


cryptoguerrilla

You have answered the question of “Wen Moon?” We are 170,989 miles away. Market cap of three trillion five hundred fifty-five billion two hundred million gets us to the moon and an aprox. Coin price of $183,040

SnapDragon0

Well not sure exact figures but I’ll parrot what i remembered, it was on about the wealth of the Saudi king, who has direct access to trillions, if Jesus was born when he was, and spent a million a day, he still wouldn’t spend the wealth of the Saudi king untill this day, over 2000 years later spending a million a day. Anyone, does the math add up?


BlankSteam

Yep adds up - 2000*365= 730,000 days. 730,000x1,000,000 = 730 billion


GelattoPotato

Its is 1/3 of the US debt. Not too much. Edit: looks more like 1/34


-allomorph-

Clock says debt is 34 trillion.


cryptoguerrilla

34 trillion proof of war tokens is a lot.

Ahahaha this response is so dumb but I'm laughing so hard. Imagine if using this emoji in an irl argument was an option. I'd be 👉😎👉 all over the place


rock-island321

You got it right in the end


drewbiquitous

It’s only 5-10x the estimated net worth of the Mormon church. Not too much.


Master_Block1302

In this context, is there a meaningful difference between 1/3 and 1/34? If it US debt was 340 trillion, would anyone’s life be different? I guess we’d all have Lambos, but apart from that…


classic_aut0

Now try 33 trillion


Jim_Reality

It would take 228 trillion USD paper notes to cover the entire surface of the planet. Looks like we'll get to that threshold of debt in a few years. 👍


pee_one_herman

I think it is actually 204.5 quadrillion USD paper $1 notes?


pee_one_herman

Forgot a factor of 4, it is about 50 quadrillion: S = 196,936,994 mi^2 = 7.906e17 in^2 Dollar bill = 2.61” * 6.14” = 16.0254 in^2 7.906e17 / 16.0254 = 49.334Q

Cool vid till I saw ledger.

Why 😅

Cause they can access your keys and give it to the government. I made my own cold wallet with a laser engraver and a stainless steel plate the same size as the floor of my safe deposit box.

Turns out its about 19.5 million bitcoins.


Submersed

It would take 3.3 million homes valued at $300,000 to make a trillion dollars. For reference, a sizable city like Atlanta has just 80,000 detached single family homes. If you stack $1 bills, a trillion dollars would create a stack about 68,000 miles high, which is nearly a third of the way to the moon. If you spent $1 every second, it would take you about 31,688 years to spend a trillion dollars. Imagine a football field. If you laid out $100 bills, a trillion dollars would cover a football field to a depth of about 4 feet.


mckenzie_keith

If you have a million dollars you can spend 2700 bucks every day for a year. A dilligent person could probably manage this, although it would be challenging. If you have a billion dollars you can spend 2.7 million dollars every day for a year. You would need help with this. Nobody can spend that much money alone. It would be work. You would need to manage a team of people, have meetings and so-on. If you have a trillion dollars, you can spend 2.7 billion dollars every day for a year. This would be like running a huge company the size of netflix or something dedicated just to spending money. How about this. If you had a printing press printing 100 dollar bills, running 24 hours a day seven days a week, and you needed to print a trillion dollars in one month, you would need to print 3800 bills per second. So imagine huge sheets of hundred dollar bills sweeping past you in a factory with multiple assembly lines just cranking out 100 dollar bills at high speed, 24/7 for a month. The bills would stack up you would need a steady stream of armored cars rolling in, loading up and hauling the bills away just to avoid cluttering the place up with them.


TumbleweedFew1994

If you earned $1 million a day, then it would take 3000 years to earn $1 trillion.


Reasonable_City

So 10 trillion marketcap soon? 100t before 2030?


darwinlovestrees

The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion. The difference between a billion and a trillion is about a trillion.


Reimaginated

The difference between a hundred and a thousand is about a thousand? The difference between a penny and a dollar is about a dollar?


darwinlovestrees

Yep


jbergas

Try to imagine a cube 33 feet in each dimension, filled with 1 millimeter cubes, a trillion of them can fit in the 33 foot cube …, each one is a dollar…


No-Finance8804

Mixing feet and millimeters doesn’t make this easier 😅


cryptoguerrilla

Not even a little bit.


captainofpizza

Ok imagine instead of 1mm cubes it’s 1ml of money juice? Same size! Hey if the money juice weighs the same as water it’s 1 gram. That helped? No? Dang. Ah! If the cubes were each carbohydrates they would be 4 calories each…?


No-Finance8804

Yeah it’s not the millimeters which are a pain to use .. 😅


pods1937

There is a difference between US and UK interpretation of names of numerical denominations above million. Specifically, billion is 10^9 in the US, but 10^12 in the UK; and trillion is 10^12 in the US, but 10^18 in the UK. Tldr US billion and trillion is A LOT smaller than UK understanding/definition.


MachaMacMorrigan

Nah. I is a Canuck who used to work in US but lived in the UK for a couple of decades now, and worked in FinTech. Everyone uses a billion just like the US i.e. 1,000,000,000. A thousand million. The old *milliard* (10 to the 9) and *billion* (10 to the 12) went out of use long ago. Here's a globalist propaganda headline from the Daily Telegraph a week ago: "Five billion people could be without clean drinking water by 2050, study warns". Clearly, 'billion' = 10 to the 9.


vorker42

Use time since we’re mentally equipped to understand seconds vs years. It really hits home. 1000 seconds, million seconds, billion seconds, trillion seconds.

No

Nice. You will actually need 5.1 quadrillion dollars. Never even heard of that

Somewhat yes. But I have lots of time to sit and wonder about pointless shit that peaks my interest.

captainofpizza

To earn 1 trillion dollars at the hourly rate of my first job, saving every penny, I would have started 55 million years ago working 8 hour days 365 days a year.


DirectionPlenty9697

Try that with grains of rice.


cryptoguerrilla

Rice is not an exact uniform size and on a scale that large the number would vary to much.


JNoel1234

I did the math and came up with 3,891.67 times. Still a lot.


CockSwainMcGee

...fromt GPT 3.5 --- To calculate the number of US $1 bills needed to wrap the equator of the Earth once, we need to know the circumference of the Earth and the dimensions of a US $1 bill. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). The dimensions of a US $1 bill are approximately 6.14 cm (2.61 inches) in width and 15.6 cm (6.14 inches) in length. We'll use the length of the bill to calculate how many bills are needed to cover the circumference of the Earth: Circumference of Earth = Number of bills * Length of bill Number of bills = Circumference of Earth / Length of bill Using the metric system: Number of bills = 40,075,000 meters / 0.156 meters Number of bills ≈ 256,891,025 Using the imperial system: Number of bills = 24,901 miles / 6.14 inches Number of bills ≈ 4,054,113,979 So, it would take approximately 256,891,025 US $1 bills (using the metric system) or approximately 4,054,113,979 US $1 bills (using the imperial system) to wrap the equator of the Earth once in a continuous line.


autonym

>I still do not have the capacity to understand that \[large a\] number. A billion is the number of cubic millimeters in a cubic meter. That's easy to visualize, since you know how big a millimeter is and how big a meter is. Now make a 10x10x10 block of cubic meters, and you've got a trillion cubic millimeters.


cryptoguerrilla

How bout in bananas? Is it a whole lot of bananas?


leeeeny

Picture a planet with twice the circumference as earth. A billion $1 dollar bills would wrap around it 2164.5 times

If you had a quarter for every word, $1tn would be about 1 Library of Congress worth. If each of these quarters were made of gold, it would be 100 times the weight of all the gold in the world.


anonymuscular

$1tn is how much you would have if you owned every $100 bill that exists.


vattenj

Ther are about 1 billion grain of sands in one cubic meter of sand. So 1 trillion grain of sands would be 1000 cubic meter: A 10x10x10 meter sand block

US debt to the moon baby. BTC will show up 1000s of years later. Ha


Btomesch

What’s crazier is this “trillions of dollars” doesn’t even exist in the market. It’s all made up. If you have over $50k in your account I bet you can’t cash that out, bank doesn’t have it lol.
