edit: shortened thoughts
If I get 50 up/downvotes then 500 people of all different walks of life read this, since only the distribution’s tails vote. If that’s 5-10% at each tail, then the 80-90% who thought the post or comment was mild have seen it and have not spoken.
If I leave it in the showerthoughts queue for ten days, then future people will see it too. Maybe they’re from a year away!
Idk. Just sonder
Current world population is 8 billion. 1000/8000000000 is ~ 1.25*10^-7
So if whole population was a meter, those 1000 people would be smaller than red blood cell
If whole population was a trip around the equator (12756 km), those 1000 people would be ~1.6m
It would be hard to maintain meaningful relations with 1000 people so it feels like a big reach. But on the global scale, that 1000 people is like a drop in the ocean
I think your shitposting is fine
