Reply to comment by [deleted] in Peter Thiel says he had $50M in SVB when it collapsed. by PossessionStandard42

One billion seconds is much longer than one million seconds. Specifically:

One million seconds is equal to approximately 11.57 days (1,000,000 seconds / 86,400 seconds per day). One billion seconds is equal to approximately 31.71 years (1,000,000,000 seconds / 31,536,000 seconds per year). Therefore, one billion seconds is roughly 86,400 times longer than one million seconds.

I was going for a gag:) like the teacher that says read all the directions on a test before starting then the last question says do nothing… and then we play Heads Up 7 Up.

I almost asked if you were going for something like that. I thought it was a meme I hadn’t seen.
