It's crazy to think that 40 years worth of video can be uploaded daily, and yet that only captures a minuscule amount of everything that goes on in the world in a given day.

Yeah, that’s only a ratio of 14600 days per day. That’s 21 million 1 minute videos a day, which is a tiny slice of the population of the planet giving a brief glimpse.

On any given day approximately 23.37 million years of human experience occurs.

But there's a lot of crossover surely - families that live together we could consider "one" day's worth experience, minus the time they spend apart pooping or whatever.

Yeah that’s an interesting way of slicing it.

When people say “everyone’s different” I’m quite fond of saying things like “well, there’s 7.8 billion of us, surely we’re not all that different?”

There’s ~21,000,000 years of human life lived a day. At 40 years per day uploaded, that’s 0.000002 of the human experience for that day.

It’s interesting to think that YouTube content is only a “two in a million” reflection of human life. Averaged out, that’s about 1 minute per person per year.

Apply a similar comparison to the past and it's humbling to realize just how little we know about history, and how quickly we collectively forget the farther back you go.
