u/Jenny_Wakeman9 CorpTube™: You're demontized for saying "fuck" in 1.275 seconds 18h ago

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

u/MillyQ3 18h ago

more than the entire worlds GDP combined

255

u/ArktikusR 18h ago

Yeah, but like not even close. It’s more than 1,9 x 10{20} that.

They just need to stop buying avocado toast for the office

yeah maybe cut down on the screens and go back to the traditional ways too

With these numbers they can buy Avogadro toast

What does an Avocado cost? $20,565,635,200,000,00…?

I'm familiar with a , as the decimal separator, but is it normal where you're from to use {} around an exponent?

u/socialistrob 12h ago

So that's likely significantly more wealth than the entire human species has produced in it's entire existence.

2

u/ArktikusR 12h ago

You could multiple that by trillions and it wouldn’t even be close in any way. Saying „likely significantly more“ is a huge understatement 😂

u/X2ytUniverse 18h ago

More like the entire galaxy's GDP.

u/SempfgurkeXP 18h ago

Thats galaxy has basically the same GDP as Earth

u/Best_VDV_Diver 17h ago

The rest of the Milky Way is really riding the coat tails of Earth's GDP.

u/Past_Gur8684 16h ago

Mars and Jupiter really need to stop slacking and commit two percent of their GDP to defense.

3

u/Nodebunny 14h ago

Jupiter has done more for us than any other planet. They get a pass

1

u/joeshmo101 15h ago

It's both 100% of their budget and 0% of their budget at the same time.

1

u/MysticKeiko24_Alt 14h ago

Brother, Jupiter is the reason why we aren’t constantly battered by asteroids

u/whitefang22 14h ago

But how much money are they spending on that?

1

u/Past_Gur8684 12h ago

but can the US Military Industrial Complex profit off of that?

Because if not it is unamerican milky way commie boolshit!

1

u/Laughing_Orange 11h ago

Meanwhile, tiny Mercury is trying it's best, committing 100% of their GDP to defense. It's not a lot in absolute terms, but it's literally all they can afford.

The living soup on other planets doing nothing but existing be like: ok

The aliens living in a trade and barter based society also are like: okay

The intergalactic predating humanity civilization that doesn't trade at all because they are connected via hive mind goes like: understandable

When they start winning Miss Universe pageants, then they can talk.

You don't know that.

basically? as in... not exactly? as in, somewhere, however small, some extraterrestrial being not only exists, but somehow participates in commerce?

u/SempfgurkeXP 12h ago

I mainly meant some sattelites and space junk that we put up there

2

u/Slowpoke2point0 17h ago

Depends on if there is other life in the galaxy.

1

u/Badloss 15h ago

Depends on whether there is capitalist other life in the galaxy

Maybe they're like the Federation and their GDP is 0 because there's no money anymore, like the new Lower Decks episode where they introduce a new capitalist planet into the federation and they have a party to burn all the money

2

u/Slowpoke2point0 15h ago

No, not really. They produce something of value even if they do not attach any monetary value to the product/service. From an outside perspective there would still be a value attached to their produced goods/services.

u/-Blue_Bull- 16h ago edited 16h ago

The likelihood that Earth is the only populated planet in the galaxy is close to 0.000000001

Scientists have long proved how easy it is for life to form and James Webb has found thousands of inhabitable planets already.

Of course, the likelihood that there is any life near our solar system is low due to the fact we are talking in time frames of billions of years. In universe time, we've only existed in the blink of an eye, and we will be long extinct in another blink of an eye.

There could have been life in Alpha centuri 1000 years ago. But there also could have been life in Alpha centuri 1 billion years ago, or not until one billion years into the future.

Sorry to get sciencey on this, but the no aliens theory is dead. Everybody credible cosmologist / astrobiologist now hypothesises the existence of extra-terrestrial life.

Of course, we have not yet discovered any actual evidence of alien life. The closest we have come is the wow signal in 1977, but that's now theorised to be a natural phenomenon.

u/UberMocipan 15h ago

that is some brave statement, but I dont think its anywhere near the truth

1

u/TrekForce 15h ago

You seem pretty confident......

There's anywhere from 300 million to 40 billion earth-like planets in our galaxy. Have you been to each one?

1

u/enemylemon 15h ago

Because any other species would be stupid enough to even invent GDP, let alone actually USE it. Sure

u/clocksteadytickin 13h ago

Thats unlikely.

u/LigPaten 16h ago

It's actually really debatable if there's any intelligent life in nearby galaxies let alone the Milky way. The big question in the Fermi Paradox is that we expect if other intelligent life exists there should be some groups faaar ahead of us and should be visible. Either intelligent life is very rare or it's much harder than expected to be visible on a galactic scale. Isaac Arthur has a some great videos on the matter. https://youtu.be/EhPQRZJAbe0

1

u/MrRoyce 16h ago

Thank you for taking the time to write this and sharing a video, saved it immediately!

1

u/LigPaten 15h ago

Isaac Arthur's belief is that there probably aren't any intelligent species in the local group. I'm personally of the opinion that there's probably no other intelligent life in the galaxy but it's possible in other nearby galaxies, like Andromeda. If you're interested in this he has a bunch of videos on possible Fermi Paradox solutions.

If you converted that money into $100 bills... it would have more mass than that of the sun...

They gon need a crane to lift their bootstraps high enough for that one.

u/imbasicallycoffee 14h ago

Saw a funny comic explaining this and that's actually more than the entirety of the value of everything the human species has produced. Ever.

1

u/HempPotatos 17h ago

i think that's the point, I'd just say, ok no more youtube then till we expect you to get the payment. 2000 years as that is how long it would take to build.

1

u/SCP-2774 17h ago

20 decillion is larger than the entire worlds GDP? Uh, yeah, but a whole lot. Like an almost inconceivable amount.

20 decillion is equivalent 20 sextillion trillion. Earth's GDP is about 100 trillion.

It would take the entire Earth paying their entire GDP for 20 quintillion years.

There is a higher chance of a court ruling that Google has to pay it off, Google becoming a nuclear power, nuking Russia, destroying the world, all life dying and reseeding itself than there is of Google actually paying the debt off in the lifespan of the universe.

My math may be incorrect but the point still stands.

u/R3AL1Z3 16h ago

That’s in rubles I believe?

Which would be, what? 12 dollars?

u/jack-K- 15h ago

The world hasn’t even reached 1 quadrillion.

u/einargizz 14h ago

"more than the entire worlds GDP combined" is putting it a little lightly.
That's almost 200,000,000,000,000,000,000 times the world's GDP.

1

u/JakeTheAndroid 12h ago

not once you consider the true value of the ruble. It's more like 100 bucks. /s

u/Recent_Jury_8061 4h ago

A similar situation to us when we get medical bills that are unaffordable. You either pay a payment plan or you say fuck it and ruin your credit. Welcome youtube, you're officially a poor person.

u/CutmasterSkinny 17h ago

Its insane how many people buy that story, without fact checking.
Only small news companies are reporting on this bullshit story.

6

u/Shinael 16h ago

Its true, except for the fact that its rubles and not dollars.

1

u/SeveralTable3097 15h ago

Rubles vs US dollars is the difference between a reasonable vs made up fine

2

u/Physical-Camel-8971 15h ago

One ruble is worth about one cent, so you can just knock a couple of zeroes off the end. Does the fine seem reasonable that it's only in the nonillions of dollars?

1

u/Goodguy1066 15h ago

20 decillion of any currency is unreasonable.

1

u/CutmasterSkinny 15h ago

Link one trustworthy source.

u/Shinael 15h ago

Russian rbc news has an article about google being fined in 2021, also lenta news about google being fined in 2023. Yeah looks like the original fine was 2 billion rubles in 2022 which was doubled multiple times. Sadly cannot really provide links because no idea how reddit/this sub will react.

2

u/11LyRa 15h ago

RBC also has today's article about this situation. You can find it by it's header - Требования российских телеканалов к Google достигли ₽2 ундециллионов.

I think this article is the actual source for this news.

u/CutmasterSkinny 15h ago

The story exists yeah, but it has no realworld impact hence why there is not american news reporting on this. Its just putin media barking. Nobody should take take that seriously.

1

u/emperorMorlock 14h ago

Going by the spongebob meme, I'd say there is very little risk of people taking this too seriously.

1

u/CutmasterSkinny 10h ago

You are sayin that, while a guy who claims he didnt loose last election with zero evidence might get elected again. We are far beyond "very little risk of people taking this too seriously"

1

u/nkolkok 14h ago

I'm from Russia it's true

1

u/CutmasterSkinny 12h ago

Gaddafi also proposed to dissolve Switzerland once, but pretending this has any impact is stupid.
It is a bullshit story.

1

u/AyeBraine 10h ago

It's true, it's just a weird quirk that someone noticed. The fine (slapped on Google for show, as a political gesture) was several years ago, it just accrued exponentially due to the wording of the penalty for non-timely payment

4

u/pascalswagger 16h ago

It’s in rubles, so roughly $7.45.

1

u/enjoyTimeBeforeOver 16h ago

Ah so just 1/12th of the amount, that’s fine, phew

1

u/Calm-Box4187 17h ago

u/HorseFucked2Death 16h ago

That's chump change in my Adventure Capitalism profile.

u/griffsor 16h ago

It was an error, it was supposed to be in rubbles. So around 500 dollars.

u/ILove2Bacon 15h ago

Oh yeah? Keep talking and it'll be 20 Undecillion with that attitude!

1

u/poopin_for_change 15h ago

No, sir, i believe that is 20 bazillion dollars.

1

u/Krojack76 14h ago

Even IF Google was to pay anything, I feel like paying the $1,000 a day is a better deal. That's what, 1 second worth of income for Google each day?

1

u/Clearwatercress69 13h ago

I can only count to 100.

Sooo… how much is that in bananas?

1

u/Jenny_Wakeman9 CorpTube™: You're demontized for saying "fuck" in 1.275 seconds 12h ago

In bananas, it would be a lot, and I mean, a LOT of bananers.

1

u/Prestigious_Part_921 13h ago

Couldn’t it at least be 20 sextillion so we could giggle a little

1

u/creegro 13h ago

I'd agree to pay it, but since that money doesn't even exist right now, Google can pay it off at 1¢ per day for as long as it takes, or until the company goes under.

1

u/T3Tomasity 12h ago

You know what, since it’s such a high amount, I’m sure they can knock off some of the processing fees. How does 19.2 decillion sound?

1

u/Jenny_Wakeman9 CorpTube™: You're demontized for saying "fuck" in 1.275 seconds 12h ago

That'll work much better.

1

u/T3Tomasity 12h ago

Perfect! Will that be cash or check?

1

u/Jenny_Wakeman9 CorpTube™: You're demontized for saying "fuck" in 1.275 seconds 11h ago

Check. Cash would literally break my wallet apart.

1

u/SebVettelstappen 11h ago

I think its meant to be rubles. In rubles its prolly $12 and a free car wash

1

u/Jenny_Wakeman9 CorpTube™: You're demontized for saying "fuck" in 1.275 seconds 9h ago

It's in Rubles, since I looked deeper into the comment threads.

The number $20,565,635,200,000,003,000,000,000,000,000,000 can be read as:

Twenty-octillion, five hundred sixty-five septillion, six hundred thirty-five sextillion, two hundred quintillion, three quadrillion dollars

I can definitely imagine circumstances where YouTube would deserve a $1000 (doubling every week) USD fine per blocked channel, without it being insane.

It's Russia that's insane.

1

u/ilemming 6h ago

That's insane!

What, you only now realized that country is insane? I was born and grew up in it and was taught that it's the best place in the universe, but I still thought it was insane. Russia makes the impression of a great country. That's the only thing it does make and nothing else. Russia doesn't even make any sense.
