i'm seeing this "too many people" on earth theme pop up a lot lately...

that's easily one of the most over exaggerated and misunderstood fear mongering lies i've heard to date. right on par with climate change.

let's start here 👇

for the sake of this thought experiment, and that lots of humans are actually kind of small, let's say 10 people can fit into one square meter. also nice for math

10 people per 1 sq. meter
1,000 people per 10m x 10m square and so on...

over 70,000 on a soccer field. IN BOUNDS!
more than enough room to hold some of our smallest countries (by population)....

now let's just go straight to 7.5 billion (current population). that'd be roughly a square of 17 miles x 17 miles. you could walk around it in under a day. not saying we'd be comfy but... 👇
and here are a couple of other cool visual representations. yes, again, it wouldn't be comfortable, but we could technically all fit within the five boroughs of NYC.

so can we cancel this nonsense yet?!?!

thanks!
or should we all keep listening to "royalty" and "politicians" about how the world is crumbling and it's ALWAYS all OUR fault....

this thread never gained any traction and wasn’t really on brand with my normal ones. tbh it was very spur of the moment. please forgive me when i re-tag you all in a day or two and execute it properly.

p.s. pls lmk if you don’t like being tagged!
