Its a lot more informative to scroll and comprehend the size of the number


That's why i love putting sizes into Wolfram Alpha, it gives you various alternative measurements like "football fields" so it's often easier to comprehend


If each McDonalds were the size of a football field, then every McDonalds laid end to end would span the length of 14,146 football fields.


If you lined all the drive-throughs end to end would it get to the moon and back?

Edit: not even close. You'd need a little under 2mi of drive through per location to get to the moon


Really makes you think


Haha


A scrolling visualization to show the sheer number of things reminds me of this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J6BQDKiYyM
