i was just wondering mathematically speaking if that claim is bogus mathematically speaking, cause i have heard this argument before, but at that time the claim was we could all fit in Texas if it was densely populated like big cities are. so when i read about house and yard for every one fitting i became curious. i mean families live together, so not every human need a house and yard, but lets say every 2 people get a house and yard, would that really fit in Texas, leaving the rest of the planet to provide all the needs?

7.500'000'000'000 sq divided by 3.500'000'000 equals 2100 sq feet per 2 people on this planet. thats mind blowing if you ask me. but maybe i made a math mistake? i rounded up the sq foot of texas for ease of calculating it, but it won't be far off.

if you divide the 7.49 trillion by 7 billion you get over 1000 sq feet per person on earth

... Put that many people in that small of a space....social chaos....

yup, social chaos, too many peeps with mouths to feed and too few jobs to pay for much, meanwhile I was watching the science chanel about a fortune cookie factory with all robotics
that produces 5,000 fortune cookies per day.

Now how many peeps would it take to produce 5,000 cookies per day vs. the robotics?

.... is it practical, could it even be done and what would it pay?

I say there aren't enough peeps available to produce the goods and services (or fortune cookies) currently required for alla the under/unemployed peeps we already have.

Robots have not only 'stolen' jobs but it's come full circle, we've become completely dependent on them to 'feed' us what we need but can no longer produce ourselves because
there's too many of us to keep up with without the 'bots assisting!

..... of course, living in the country is more straightforward and down to earth, so no social chaos here, yet, although I am worried about California with alla the wildfires and climate change issues,
maybe that'll be the new petrie dish we'll be watching under the microscope.

I love watching parents freak the fuck out trying to get the city kids out of the way when a 2000 lbs bull jumps out of the pen and into the stands. They must be thinking "ok.. bad idea bringing the kids here" lol

lol@city folks freaking out. In 2005 I had a brand new car and loved to drive 10 mins out of my way every morning on my way to work to catch a buzz and to see a hobby farm with a small herd of bison owned by a man named 'Buzz' Berg, a notorious toker.

Anyhow, one morning I noticed the herd was gone, happened to turn on the radio to find out the herd had escaped and 'gone' into the city!!!

Needless to say, a good time was had by all.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.

i did some browsing/checking
there's more land per person than that, maybe 5 acres or so per person
but that's all the land, which of course isn't really all usable
i also see there's 4 billion acres of arable land, less than an acre per person
kind of an unpleasant number

Back to the lighter side....If you are and ol' timer. You have read the book...."Fifty Yards to the Bathroom" by Willie MakeIt....

... less than an acre per person

.... very unpleasant, especially considering no one has factored in land to grow food or feed a cow, etc.

I could see it now, it's your special 'line' to pick up the ladies; tell them they can join the mile high club, even have a tiny tiny bathroom, in flight porn movies. get some stewardess uniforms, have some packs of peanuts (in flight meal), get a pilots cap & aviator glasses, have some fun... wish I was your age again.

start out by giving the gals a good old fashioned TSA screening, this is where you inform the young ladies that they've failed the preliminary test and to please step over into the next cubicle & remove all of their clothing.


go for it.......

I actually have a 6x6 inch piece of this Atlas Rocket. I have it mounted in a frame and glass case.

It was given to the Science and Tech Museum by the US Air Force with the stipulation that it be cut up into small pieces when it was time to dispose of. The guy who cut it up knew I was a tech nerd and he thought of me
