It’s interesting that the numbers per se are meaningless to us. Yes, billion is a thousand times more, but what is 11 days thousand times? No idea, long. Turns out it’s 31 years long! Nice thought.
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.
I addressed this in my comment when I said people just aren’t thinking it through. The only people surprised that 10 minutes of exercise every day adds up to more than an hour a week are people just not thinking it though. Wow shocker, 10 × 7 = 70, that’s totally not intuitive.

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.
