    That’s… More than all of the value of everything on earth, combined.

    By a lot.

      They were smart and accounted for 6 months or so of Russian inflation as their currency collapses.

        N = { value of everything in the Earth’s crust, including art, wildly inflated for tax purposes }

        N^2 < [(this fine)/(the U.S. GDP)]

        This number is so comically large it only makes sense in astrophysics.

            rips bong

            We are the projection of a higher order dimension, being sucked into a higher order dimension black hole.

            We passed the event horizon which gave all static mass a direction of motion from which they cannot escape.This is the arrow of time.

            It wasn’t everything all at one point for the big bang, it was just the tip of a higher order dimension iceberg. This 0-100 moment is what caused the CMB.

            All of this information is being compressed. The universe is not expanding. The only thing that expands is the nothingness between all massive objects as they further compress towards nothingness, giving the illusion of infinite accelerating expansion.

            All invisible forces, from the 'dark matter’s to electromagnetism, are dimensions projected into this Allegory of the cave of a universe we’re stuck in.

            Miss me with that real shit let’s get high and make shit up.

    considering the track record they should start putting “courts” in quotes when discussing Russia.

        I mean, I was mostly making a joke myself, the conversion rate is what 1 usd to 97 rubles?

        While an entire order of magnitude is insane- especially at that large a number, the difference isn’t really meaningful.

    I might expect this kind of pissantry from North Korea, but Russia?

    You’d think Mr. Google would just have a little accident out an 8th floor window.

      But not nearly as interesting seeing the big number. Also, who is that supposed to be clear to? The raised numbers are so small I can’t even read them on my phone.

        It’s your phone! You can change the font size or your lemmy client if it renders these numbers incorrectly.

      Not really. Most people aren’t familiar with scientific or engineering notation. Writing £1,000,000, one million pounds or £1Million is a lot clearer than writing £1×10^6.

      My cars odometer says 91,584, not 91.584×10^3

        Your examples are with small enough numbers that indeed it can also be written out. Now if you please, write out 7.45•10^16

          It’s not about the size of the number, it’s about presenting information in a way that the average reader can understand. The best way to do that is to present it in the way that they’re accustomed to and I don’t think I’ve ever seen scientific notation used to refer to a sum of money.

          It’s great that you and I understand scientific notation, but it’s worthlesss when you’re trying to get the average person to understand what you’re writing if they don’t know it themselves.

          To make myself clear, I’m not saying that scientific notation isn’t useful, I’m just saying that most people don’t understand it.

          For extra credit, 74,500,000,000,000,000 aka seventy four quintillion, five hundred quadrillion.

    Lol, such weak minded pussies, let me explain. For reference, that number is very roughly half of all atoms on earth. If you had that kind of money in cash, it would be larger than earth, it would be heavier than the sun and fucking obliterate our solar system. It’s absolute lunacy, so they could have gone further and got more out of it. Like asking for a googol dollars (a 1 with a hundred zeros), not only is it actually funny (a play on Google’s name), but that would finally be enough to nuke the entire observable universe. But no, turns out fascists aren’t creative and their statements are just the result of rabies.
