IT'S JUST A FEW DECIMAL PLACES GIVE ME A BREAK 😆

What’s a few decimal places among friends, right?

[-] fcuks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

while you're correct based on instagram's numbers, the other commenter would be correct if it was a British billion which is a million millions. just a fun fact 🦄

[-] crate_of_mice@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago

That's true, although the long scale billion hasn't been a thing even in Britain for decades.

If it's fun facts you like, try this: English is the clear odd one out, most other languages use milliard for 10^9 and billion for 10^12.

milliard - love it ty for that. Reminds me of: French: L'ananas Italian: L'ananas Icelandic: Ananas Portuguese: O ananás Swedish: Ananas German: Die Ananas

English: Pineapple
