Can we get this number as a percentage of all humans who have ever lived? Seems more impactful that way
70 million / 117 billion, Something like 0.06% of all humans
Based on the numbers my phone gave me with no research or validation.
Okay, not actually that interesting.
Here’s something that is interesting though: In looking it up myself, I discovered that Billion and Trillion are not universal terms, and while in America 1 billion has 9 zeros, in the UK/ parts of EU, it has 12, and from there the number of zeros increases by 6 rather than 3. So 1 trillion in America has 12 zeros, but in Europe it has 18!
Oh wow, what a horrible thing to not have a standard. Good job, global community!
UK uses the USA version for
millionbillion so 9 zeroes, at least for our national statistics.USA version (pretty sure also UK version) of million has 6 zeros. Billion is the first to be different
Ah that was a typo. I meant billion
This is not very fair. I’m pretty sure many people have been saved thanks to cars too, but it’s hard to know the number of them. Fuck cars, but this is manipulative.
