    How? I refuse to believe this and people just aren’t thinking it through.

    11 days × 1000 is 11 000 days

    Theres 365 days in a year so it’s about 30 years.

    Don’t even need a calculator to do this math.

      I, mean, it’s just not obvious. You can calculate that, but what I’m saying is people aren’t too good with numbers. And we’re constantly manipulated because of that. Mainly to buy something, but also in others departments too.

      • E.g. try to do 5 minutes of intensive daily exercises, and bam! It’s over half an hour a week! Which is ⅓ of those who do three 30-minutes sessions a week. Try ten minutes a day, and it’s over an hour a week! Try fifteen minutes a day, and not many people do more sport than you!

      Throughout my life, I saw countless examples of how small numbers unfold into something quite big. But mainly with money, and how recklessly they are spent.
