This is a programmed response
Just try to imagine the number 7 billion.
Are they all inside buildings or what?
Even if just a fraction of a percent is literally right now heading to the store, and you look at it on Google Maps — imagine how many people that would actually require to be visible!

(Though in reality, obviously, the vast majority of the world’s population lives in countries where most people don’t even have internet )

Just jokin

Damn, people who are 40–60 years old — I’m honestly jealous of you.
You got to live through the coolest periods: the birth and early golden age of technology.
Cars becoming normal, the internet appearing, that whole special vibe of the time. (Before everything got ruined.)

Atari was good. NES/Master system was better. SNES/Genesis was the golden age of gaming. Not to mention some of the best music and movies of all time.

Too bad getting old physically sucks.

I want to be able to read the year a penny was pressed.

I want to be able to read the year a penny was pressed.

My guess is the number is between 1900 and 2027

(This is a joke coming up, by the way)

Imagine there are 7 billion people on Earth.
Now open Google Maps, zoom in on some random spot.
Shouldn’t there be hundreds of people right there in one frame?
Like at a bus stop in a big city, or on a train station platform?
With 7 billion people, shouldn’t those places be packed with thousands standing shoulder to shoulder?!

Where the hell is everybody?!?!

Asking the important questions.

I think we could use the thought experiment of the dead internet theory and zoom that out to real alive people and it would be pretty accurate.

However.

It has been said that each... EACH person on the planet could have 1 acre of land in Texas all to themselves.

Meh. I know about 20 people in real life that I maintain a relationship with and have met at one point or another.

The rest of you are probably A.I.

Maybe I'm not real.

Would

The Wagyu I’ve been seeing lately is getting a little crazy. I mean I get that fat equals flavor and tenderness, but I’d like some actual meat in there too. It seems like it’s going from heavily marbled to just a hunk of tallow. I don’t know how those animals even live long enough to get to butchering size.
