86,400 is the number of seconds in a day. This searches for the number of times a piece of code transposed the 6 and 4.

There will eventually be 84,600 replies to you telling you that there are 86,400 seconds in a day.

Probably the fact that there are 86400 seconds in one day and apparently lots of people typed 84600? Not really my sort of humor, but mmkay.

Number of seconds in a day = 60 * 60 * 24 == 86400, rather than 84600.

86400 seconds = 24 hours

84600 seconds = typo ;)

It's the number of seconds in a day.
