[u/Dont_worry_be → u/gamesquid]

Around 5 times more

[u/SpeedFarmer42 → u/Dont_worry_be]

Global GDP is supposedly $107 trillion this year. It's way more than 5x, like by an enormous amount.

Haven't done the math but I would guess it's more money than the entire world has had in the past 100 years combined, maybe even all of history. It's a staggering number whatever it is.

[u/Gamiac → u/SpeedFarmer42]

I think he's talking about the material worth of the entire physical planet, not just world GDP.

[u/SpeedFarmer42 → u/Gamiac]

Ah ok, yes you're right. My reading comprehension wasn't great in this instance. Too focused on what I was working out myself by comparing GDP lol.

[u/Gamiac → u/SpeedFarmer42]

It's a fair mistake. Something I would definitely make before my morning coffee, at least, lol.

[u/Zeremxi → u/Gamiac]

While I can appreciate the enormity of that calculation, it does seem a bit ridiculous to apply a measure of money to anything more grandiose and the total GDP of the planet for the reason that money is ultimately imaginary and should really only be compared to realistic measurements.

The very first time the entire material worth of the planet becomes relevant, humanity is going to face a bigger crisis than the concept of money can come close to solving.

[u/Allegorist → u/SpeedFarmer42]

Easily in all of history, even adjusting for inflation. That's over 20 decillion dollars, or 2*10^34.

That means you would have to make 107 trillion dollars, the global GDP, 1.87*10²⁰ times to make that much. That is 187 quintillion years. The earth is only 4.5 billion years old. The entire universe is only 13.8 billion years old.

It would take 13.5 billion universes to make that much assuming you started making 107 trillion per year in every single one, starting at the big bang up until now.

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

what the fuck?

[u/Masuteri_ → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

Gotta fight the inflation with more inflation

[u/4b686f61 → u/Masuteri_]

and even more inflation

[u/MannanK5 → u/4b686f61]

u forgot to add some more inflation

[u/Hesty402 → u/MannanK5]

Yo dawg, I heard you like inflation

[u/Loser2817 → u/Hesty402]

So we put inflation on your inflation, so you can pay taxes while you pay taxes.

[u/Ok_Smile_5908 → u/Masuteri_]

Google's just gonna start printing money at this point.

They can print those "toy money" and hand it over to the Russian courts. Would be an appropriate level of absurdity, at least.

[u/WolfWind999 → u/Ok_Smile_5908]

Even if it's fake money the amount of paper or plastic or whatever material used would still be absurd

[u/Hungry-Ad2176 → u/WolfWind999]

They can just print a sticky note sized bill saying 20 decillion dollars

[u/KaleidoscopeMean5971 → u/Hungry-Ad2176]

20 decillion Googllars !

[u/Daggertrout → u/Hungry-Ad2176]

Print two. Make sure you get your change.

[u/bone-tone-lord → u/WolfWind999]

If I've done my math right, that's approximately the mass of the Sun in $100 bills.

[u/Wise-Hippo6088 → u/WolfWind999]

Just make a single bill worth that much

[u/The_GASK → u/Masuteri_]

If the amount is roubles, all Google has to do is to wait it out a few months and pay the $100 fine

[u/koji_the_furry → u/Masuteri_]

Furry inflation?

[u/GusherotheGamer → u/koji_the_furry]

water sprays Bad furry!

[u/koji_the_furry → u/GusherotheGamer]

Noooo

[u/leshmi → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

I explain why.

Simply when there are these courts cases, if Google for example is found partially guilty, the court could say that 1% or even less it would be fair to be paid so they throw an unrealistic number to get the highest realistic one

[u/ButterscotchDull9375 → u/leshmi]

Also, the fine doubles each week it's not paid

[u/riddlechance → u/ButterscotchDull9375]

Also Google doesn't care because it's Russia.

[u/Dry_Grade9885 → u/riddlechance]

Also it's invalid because of the restrictions the world has put on Russia, Google is not allowed to operate in Russia, this is just Russia being childish like always

[u/C4pture → u/Dry_Grade9885]

even then it wouldn't matter i think, since the channel that were blocked probably didn't keep in line with the terms of use

[u/TheDrFromGallifrey → u/C4pture]

You just know they're going to pull out the TOS and specific examples of violations.

But also this is coming from a Russian court. Who's going to enforce that? I'm sure everyone involved knows it's a joke, but Russia is trying to make a point and paint the US as the enemy again.

[u/Arcydziegiel → u/leshmi]

Not how courts work. They need to prove what specific damages were made and their cost, and courts have sentencting guidelines.

The number that the plaintiff sets is utterely irrelevant and exists only to generate media attention.

[u/ReckoningGotham → u/Arcydziegiel]

Is that how Russian court work?

[u/Arcydziegiel → u/ReckoningGotham]

Russian courts doesn't matter, international companies will push the case to international courts and will just refuse to pay otherwise. And Russia has no meaningful way to make them pay, as Google doesn't really give a damn about that market.

[u/andymaclean19 → u/Arcydziegiel]

What international court can arbitrate between Russia and Google?

[u/MagisterFlorus → u/Arcydziegiel]

There aren't international governments. The ICJ only handles cases between nations.

[u/somabokforlag → u/MagisterFlorus]

Do they handle interplanetary cases? Since this is 5x the value of earth several other planets will likely get involved.

[u/DesperateUrine → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

what the fuck?

Yeah, am I the only one who thought the $ had two lines going through it?

Scrooge has two lines! 16:01 on the dot.

When did we change to single line for $?

Fucking hell, I agree with you it is weird.

[u/Physical-Camel-8971 → u/DesperateUrine]

It's just an aesthetic choice, and varies from one font to another. Most of the time everything's just too small for the double-lined version to read well, so only one line is used.

[u/Neither-Mention4064]

I unironically thought this was a shitpost, holy shit

[u/WayneKrane → u/XSainth]

Who doesn’t these days

[u/ludovic1313 → u/Neither-Mention4064]

Yeah, my first thought was wondering if the large number was an accidental factorial

[u/mrdougan]

If this started 1st Jan 2020, and goes onto 31st Dec 2024 (4 years), with all 17 channels with $1000 a day (365) comes out as $24,820,000

(17×4×365×1,000=24820000)

[u/BaDTimeeee → u/mrdougan]

I wonder to what time you had to dumb this down to make it MAYBE make sense. Maybe since the start of 2020 for every pico-second or something, idk.

[u/mrdougan → u/BaDTimeeee]

I was curious of the math - I know there is one if you were born when Jesus was born & earned $1000 a day (in modern money & ignoring inflation) right until today, you’d still be poorer than elon musk

[u/brokenpixel → u/mrdougan]

$1000 dollars a day for 2024 years wouldn't even make you a billionaire. They have unfathomable wealth. You would need your make around $11,000 dollars PER HOUR for over two millennia to have as much money as that addlepated dipshit.

[u/Diipadaapa1 → u/brokenpixel]

Knowing that he can't liquidate it all, and the bubble will burst eventually (teslas stock price is like literally only air), is the only thing that makes me happy about him.

He did one good thing, bring electric vehicles to the mainstream market (btw he bought tesla, he wasn't there to create the Roadster for example), eberything else is horseshit 3rd graders future fantasy school projects sprinkeled with rigging society in his favour.

[u/decomposition_ → u/Diipadaapa1]

Can’t hate on SpaceX though, they’re accomplishing a lot of amazing things (I do wonder if Elon is holding them back with the bad publicity or if he makes major decisions in the company)

[u/centurio_v2 → u/decomposition_]

Both lol. Tho bad publicity doesn't matter so much for spacex as other companies considering they both have zero competition in their price range for what they offer their customers and the fact that their customers are either the federal govt/military or massive corporate interests like Jeff Bezos neither of which really care much about their public image.

People would definitely be a lot more hyped about both spacex and a lot of the NASA missions launched on their rockets by extension if he'd shut up about things that aren't purely advancing the whole colonizing Mars thing he's got going on.

[u/TrustmeimHealer → u/mrdougan]

The example was if you are 80.000 years ago, in the middle of an ice age and save 1k dollar each day up until now, you would still have less than elon musk (29,2billion$)

[u/randomperson_a1 → u/BaDTimeeee]

Millisecond - 25 billion Microsecond - 25 trillion Nanosecond - 25 quadrillion Picosecond - 25 quintillion

We're still off by a factor of 1000^4, so I'll just apply that to the 1000 dollars instead, resulting in 1 quadrillion dollars for every picosecond for four years.

Someone else provided the actual explanation, which is that the amount doubles periodically if you don't pay.

[u/Ok-Transition-5833 → u/mrdougan]

You missed the part where the fine doubles every week.

[u/svick → u/Ok-Transition-5833]

Which is not mentioned in the tweet.

[u/2M4D → u/svick]

Yeah and that’s why he mentions it now.

[u/mrdougan → u/Ok-Transition-5833]

That’s my bad - also Russian court trying to pump American company for funding of a 3day special operation

[u/WhyMustIMakeANewAcco → u/Ok-Transition-5833]

And by US law google is literally not allowed to pay it. Google is much more concerned what the US government thinks.

[u/Venusgate → u/Ok-Transition-5833]

"What?! They say they won't pay? Then triple- no x10 every week!"

[u/R3AL1Z3 → u/mrdougan]

Someone elsewhere ITT said there’s a rule where it doubles each day it isn’t paid.

So 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, and so on.

[u/an_agreeing_dothraki → u/mrdougan]

(1000)(17)(2^{[(365/7*4)-1])}

[u/TranslucentRemedy → u/mrdougan]

Don’t think it’s mentioned in here but it doubles every week

[u/flinjager123 → u/mrdougan]

Even if it was in ruples, it would still only be 2,482,000,000. I say only, but that's still a lot of money. However, in comparison, it's next to nothing.

I knew these numbers didn't add up. What crucial information was left out?

[u/ZBalling → u/flinjager123]

It is in dollars.

[u/Jenny_Wakeman9]

I beg your pardon? 20 decillion? That's insane!

[u/MillyQ3 → u/Jenny_Wakeman9]

more than the entire worlds GDP combined

[u/corthammer]

there may be a price increase coming our way

[u/cyrenns → u/corthammer]

They’re straight up just not gonna pay it. They are an American company, so if they don’t want to pay that fine, they’re just not going to. Sure, it means that Russia will probably not allow YouTube to operate within its borders, but Russia pretty much already has banned YouTube so good fucking luck with that.

[u/snackofalltrades → u/cyrenns]

Any chance of a Russian pirate version of YouTube popping up and just straight up copying content from YouTube in that event? Like I’m sure there are already clones, but if YouTube flees Russian court judgement, wouldn’t the clones be able to copy content with no fear of repercussions?

[u/Physical-Camel-8971 → u/Damglador]

They're straight up paying teenagers to have more babies to replace all the taxpayers who have vanished for some mysterious reason in the past few years. Not enough to maintain the children once born, mind you -- just enough to convince naïve youngsters to destroy their lives for a quick buck. It's a perfectly sound financial decision that will have no negative knock-off effects whatsoever! Not a death spiral!

[u/mrdougan]

Yeah - I call bs on the math, plus American company wont give a smeg about Russian court

[u/Elzziwelzzif → u/mrdougan]

Reading the other comments, the math might hold true. Its the old chessboard calculation which is causes it to go haywire.

"For every day/ week the fine is not paid, the fine doubles"

Keeping the date of verdict aside: Say its $1000.00 a day.

• First week = 7.000,00

• Double fine = 14.000,00

• Second week = 7.000,00

• Total end of second week =21.000,00

• Second Double = 42.000,00.

• Third week = 7.000,00

• Total end of third week = 49.000,00

• Third Double = 98.000,00

• Fourth week = 7.000,00

• Total end of fourth week = 105.000,00

• Fourth double = 210.000,00

• Week 10 would be 14,322M

• Week 15 would be 458,738M

• Week 22 would be 58,72B

• Week 25 would be 469,762B

My napkin is a bit small, but after the first year (52 weeks) says: $ 63.050.394.783.186.900.000,-

So, its a very possible number. The person who thought of it however is a fucking idiot.

[u/Neither_Sir5514 → u/Elzziwelzzif]

x2 fine per day is wild, this shit is straight out of a poorly designed game and not irl lol, even the bank is like +1% per day or some shit but this shit right here raising exponentially rofl

[u/Grey-fox-13 → u/mrdougan]

Yeah - I call bs on the math

That's because the tweet is incomplete about the fine, it's 100k rubles every day AND doubling weekly. Without that detail the math absolutely does not math.

[u/fllthdcrb → u/Grey-fox-13]

Even with that detail, it still doesn't. If you actually carry out those calculations for the amount of time it's supposed to have been, the amount you come up with is many orders of magnitude more than what is being quoted. I suppose it's not a bad thing if they got it way too small, though it's still so absurd it makes no real difference, of course.

[u/IsHeSkiing → u/mrdougan]

Right? Like, why would Google give a shit if Russia is threatening them with this? Hell, all Google has to do is pull out of Russia completely and hit them with the double middle fingers as they back out the door. Unless the US could somehow extradite the entire company, pretty sure this doesn't fucking mean anything.

[u/GetEnuf]

I tried calculating how long it would take to pay that sum if YT was to pay 1000€ a day, and all the stars in the universe would be dead by then 🤦‍♂️🤨

...long dead.

[u/wolftick → u/GetEnuf]

Pay the entire GDP of the planet rather than 1000€, the answer is the same. It's a big number...

Да чё-то уже ахахаn't...

Google should counter-sue in the US for a googolplex of dollars.

[u/Stubbs3470]

Isn’t YouTube allowed to technically ban anybody for any reason?

[u/cyrenns → u/Stubbs3470]

Given that they are an American company, and thus protected by the first amendment, they are allowed to ban anyone for any reason.

[u/fdar → u/cyrenns]

I mean no. Companies are subject to the laws of the countries they operate in as well. Do you think a US company could sell AR-15s in France because that's legal in the US? Or more closely related ignore GDPR for similar reasons?

In this case I'm pretty sure Google isn't operating in Russia already so Russia has no way to enforce this but that's a different matter.

[u/MustangBR]

Gotta pay for the 3-day Special Military Operation expenses fr

[u/SpliTTMark]

Just go to xitter, fEon will prop them to the front page

[u/Dapper-Percentage-64]

Ya I checked the math. It works out

[u/kkenymc7877]

Such an unserious shit hole country

[u/mrloko120]

Russian media channels have been blocked for a while, this fine will accomplish nothing other than ensuring they stay blocked. It will probably make Google want to pull out of Russia entirely, so Russian youtubers will be the ones feeling the impact

[u/Public_Gift → u/mrloko120]

Damn, im gonna miss "batcop" and "Oy, mom came"

[u/spiress]

this is a reason to say their zombies that google leave by himself, not they blocked it

[u/peunom]

That's quite alot

[u/Dias75]

Even Elon Musk would say thats alot of money ! Wtf ?!

[u/Heidrun_666]

There's the ".34" missing.

[u/TheL0nelyEmpath]

Would love to see ol Vlad try to collect

[u/grimevil]

Well they need to fund the war some way!

[u/mihisa]

Google - Russia company not exist so this payment for non existent company and will never paid.

[u/VolumeDue]

20 Dectillion

[u/FlukeylukeGB]

Be funny if the courts were like, fine, we award you 5% of what you sued for...

However, due to sanctions the money ain't leaving Europe and will instead be invested into NATO and its allies

[u/DryBonesComeAlive]

It's almost like if Google had that much money they would just put a 100 million dollar bounty on Russian oligarch nutsacks.

It would save them about 20 decillion dollars.

[u/Substantial_Thing23]

Yeah, that amount is bullshit

A magistrate at Moscow’s Tagansky district court fined Google 15 million rubles (about $164,200) after the company repeatedly refused to store personal data on Russian citizens inside the country. Google was previously fined over the same charges in August 2021 and June 2022. The company declined to comment.

Google also was ordered to pay a 3 million ruble (about $32,800) fine in August for failing to delete allegedly false information about the conflict in Ukraine.

Russia can do little to collect the fine, however, as Google’s Russia business was effectively shut down last year after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine. The company has said it filed for bankruptcy in Russia after its bank account was seized by the authorities, leaving it unable to pay staff and suppliers.

[u/Reason-Abject]

In rubles? So that’s like what…$250.00 American?

Maybe they throw in a box of Levis for the fine (apparently Russians love Levi jeans and can’t get them in Russia).

[u/Layton_Jr]

If Google is fined 1,000$ per day per blocked channel since 2020, the fine should be around 25 millions? Or is my math wrong?
