minus-squareIPeaceInYourFace@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 days agoI don’t believe that for second. There’s a lot of fucking stars in the milky way. And we’ve cut down a hell of a lot of trees.

minus-squarebreakfastmtn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 days agoWhere are they hiding all these trees? I just looked outside and saw, like, 5 tops.

minus-squarebreakfastmtn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoDamn. This is complicated. We can’t even count 1-10 trees properly. How did someone manage to count all 3 trillion??

minus-squarecrank0271@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoWell I’m seeing like 5 over here as well, so we’re up to 10.
