$20 decillion isn't just more money than exists. The amount of money that exists is a rounding error of a rounding error of a dozen more nested rounding errors compared to $20 decillion. The nominal GDP in 2022 was $100 trillion (and even then, calling this "all the money that exists" is a wonky metric). For comparison, $2 undecillion is only 100x more than $20 decillion. So while looking at this XKCD, just chop off two zeroes from the $2 undecillion figure, and boom.

I'd call that imbecillion for they aren't really well in the head. Doubling the price for each day is not a real way you calculate pennies even by russian law, it's a custom decision by a judge to push Google off with a cover of questionable legality.

Men. They're just too emotional.

Remember when you cried, as a baby, because you had to share some stupid shit? This is billionaires crying

Washington Post subscription costs $170 a year, so 42.5 million dollars a year. Nice. I mean he probably doesn't even realize such a tiny sum, but you could buy a lot of candy for this amount of money.

I'd like Trump to explain to a court how potentially not being President means he doesn't "earn" $10 billion.

Meta isn't suing anyone. But Zuck took that hard R, maga money.

Can’t remember the source, but Putie’s suing for 2 undecillion rubles.

Shouldn't be a problem in a couple of years as russia's economy tanks under the weight of putin's war, Google'll get change from a dollar bill if they wait it out.

I sure hope he put his pinkie to his lip when he made this request.

It was for a 1000, doubling every day of non-payment, for many months now. Which is how it reached the ridiculous amounts, and also how any amount you see is quickly outdated because it doubles every day.

Is undecillion a negative number?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No. Octillion, nonillion, decillion, then undecillion.

Million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion then ^

I don't understand how the Bezos thing is fragility?

Everybody expected a Harris endorsement, so I guess she's saying that he's afraid of Trump and that makes him a coward. It doesn't seem to fit with the other stuff, though.
