Do you know what the difference is between a millionaire and a billionaire? About a billion.
A million seconds is 11.574 days, a billion seconds is 31.7 years
I always think it as the difference between a nice vacation and a whole generation.
I'm saving this one 👍
Do you know what the difference is between a thousand and a million? About a million.
It's almost as if there's a pattern in how we name large numbers 🤔🤔🤔
The point is that 1 million is a big number (or a lot of money), as is 1 billion. But 1 billion is so big, it makes 1 million seem small by comparison. 1 thousand is not a big number.
Unless you're talking about the number of spiders on your face
That's great
