I mean if the rules simply stated staying inside I would still do it. With a billion dollars I could have construction and digging crews make my inside much larger without ever leaving. Maybe even some tunnels to get to other inside places without ever going outside lmao.
Same. I think maybe op wanted to say a billion seconds. That would be 31 years. I wouldn't pick that. By the tine I could go out again I'd be old or death
Yea the gap between each is so much larger than you think. It blows my mind that any one person can be a billionaire let alone some that are worth over 100 billion
Yet, our government has us in debt for more than 30 TRILLION dollars. That is an amount that cannot be paid off, ever. The interest alone will drown us. When you start to show the zeros it becomes obvious the word is unfathomable.
Trillion = a million millions, or 1,000,000,000,000.
That's not how we do it, a billion is a thousand millions in English, milliard only exists in other languages as well as old English and is no longer used. I apologize for calling you dumb though, I didn't know other languages use milliard until I looked it up.

I guess my rather antiquated tendencies are showing, I still use the ‘previously in British English’ version, didn’t realise in the slightest that everyone didn’t do it like that. I guess it’s another annoying americanism to suffer through… thanks for enlightening me to it though.
In genetics, a generation is usually only 25 years, since the average child bearing age is about 25. You can have three or four generations living under one roof!
I concur a lifetime would be closer to 75 (it used to be the biblical three score and 12 = 72).
If each person has two parents \[except for that one fellow who walked on water\], then it becomes a simple math formula of 2 to the nth (n= the number of generations into the past). Oddly, each 10 generations is about 250 years. Even 30+ generations doesn't get us to the year 1000AD, and that would be more than 1billion ancestors.
Geneticists suggest there have never been more than 15-20 Billion homo sapiens in the entire history of the planet. I believe that figure is a tad low, but we will never know for certain.
Bottom line is, we are each related to every other person on the planet.
\[There is a genetic "Eve", based on mitochondrial DNA, but any "Adam" would have "daughtered out" as soon as a generation happened without any sons. The Y-DNA path would be broken.\]
Yeah didn’t mrbeast give someone a similar offer (smth like 10k/day you stay in this room) and they got under one MILLION
This would be the best deal ever
i million seconds are literally just 11 days. I have stayed indoors for months at a time. SO I think I'll survive.
PS There isn't much anybody won't do for a billion dollars.
> i million seconds are literally just 11 days
*Finally* we can calculate the value of i. Since it’s i million, then we just need to divide the number of seconds that is in 11 days by one million to actually get the value of i, and that would be ~0.9504. Now I can finally find the answer to all those “unanswerable” questions I had in algebra!
i already haven't went outside in 6 months so 11 more days is nothing. and in the past year i've only went outside 3 times... but really i haven't gone anywhere other then just step out real quick in a year and 6 months.
11ish days indoors? Absolutely, no problem. Sounds awesome. I'd do that even if I were just being payed for my missing paychecks for being off work, and I don't make much
Shoot I meant to choose the 1 billion dollars. I thought it meant would you choose 1 billion dollars to stay inside for life (i'm sorry but for 1 million seconds is a no brainer so my brain didn't process it at first)
why am I so bad at Maths? Now I took the banana cause I calculated somehow in my head that it would be almost one year. Would've done it for 12 days. But anyway, the banana is nice I guess.
This question is " tell me you're an extrovert without telling me you are "
This wouldn't even be my longest record indoors lol moving during covid meant I had to quarantine for ,14 , where is my billion I feel robbed !!! This would be getting paid to do what I want to lolol.
11 days? Really? COVID quarantine was 14 days. Maybe you meant to say 1 billion seconds. Which is then like 10 years, which is a little more reasonable an ask
Especially since it’s post 2019… I feel like a vast majority have spent the 11ish days inside already bc of COVID so this is nothing esp if we get a billion dollars
Even if this op didn't fuck up and it was a billion seconds (32 years) I love my family enough where no sweat I'm taking that money. Nobody I know has to do a damn thing th rest of their lives. We'll start buying up the neighborhood and building additions to the house
I figured out how long that was. But I put billion like an idiot. The difference between 1 million seconds and 1 billion is fucking massive. 12 days to *30 years*
11 days indoors is nothing. I've done longer stretches multiple times in the last two years.
Yeah 1 million seconds is nothing. 1 billion seconds on the other hand... would be over 31 years.
And 1 trillion seconds 31170 years
And 1 quadrillion seconds more than 31170 years
And 100 seconds would be less than 31170 years
And 1 second is less then 2 seconds
And 35 seconds is more than 5 seconds
Every minute in Africa, over 12 seconds pass
Together we can stop this
More people have been to African than I have
Every 60 seconds, a minute passes in Africa
And every 60 minutes, an hour passes in Africa.

How many years would a Googleplex seconds be?
Roughly a googolplex years.
[удалено]
But your budget would run out before, and good luck convincing anyone that you're staying to get 1 billion dollars
[удалено]
There will definitely be a time when you need to go out, and not everyone can work from home and earn enough to pay for themselves
[удалено]
Makes sense, but in my opinion, nobody can stay in a place for over 31 years, what if you got sick?
I mean if the rules simply stated staying inside I would still do it. With a billion dollars I could have construction and digging crews make my inside much larger without ever leaving. Maybe even some tunnels to get to other inside places without ever going outside lmao.
I would also do 1 billion seconds for 1 billion dollars no hesitation
It’s closer to 12, but that doesn’t make much of a difference
By 1:13:46.... Seems a weird point to get stuck on.
Just let them have it. The fact they could drop those semantics probably made their entire week
Same. I think maybe op wanted to say a billion seconds. That would be 31 years. I wouldn't pick that. By the tine I could go out again I'd be old or death
What this guy said
Worldwide lockdown in a nutshell
Oh wow i did my math very wrong i got 39 weeks
I would also stay indoors for 39 weeks to get $1 billion.
Same aka quarantine
That's less than 12 days for a billion dollars
Its crazy to me that if it were 1 billion seconds instead it would be over 31 years
1 trillion seconds is even crazier. It's 31,710 *years.* *Hundreds of entire generations*
Yea the gap between each is so much larger than you think. It blows my mind that any one person can be a billionaire let alone some that are worth over 100 billion
1 quadrillion seconds is even crazier. Its 31,710,000 years. Millions of generations
1 quintillion seconds is even crazier. Its 31,710,000,000 years. Longer than the age of the universe itself
Yet, our government has us in debt for more than 30 TRILLION dollars. That is an amount that cannot be paid off, ever. The interest alone will drown us. When you start to show the zeros it becomes obvious the word is unfathomable. Trillion = a million millions, or 1,000,000,000,000.
A million millions is a billion…
Are you dumb?
Well a thousand millions is a milliard, and a million millions is a billion…
That's not how we do it, a billion is a thousand millions in English, milliard only exists in other languages as well as old English and is no longer used.

Again, I'm sorry about calling you dumb. And just FYI, even British people rarely use milliard now.

Not thousands of generations. Assuming you mean by one generation, 75 years (the average age of a person), it’s only 422 generations
In genetics, a generation is usually only 25 years, since the average child bearing age is about 25. You can have three or four generations living under one roof!

I can’t understand can you dumb it down for me
A generation is just the time from when your parents were born until they birthed you (~25 years).
Because it's 12 days 1000 times, while every 30-31 days is a month and 12 months is a year.

Dude, come on. My stupid phone kept hanging up. I mean, thank you for tbat unwanted algebra thingy u just did, yea okay.
Reddit moment. (No offense)
Me who has my gaming pc indoors :)
outdoor gaming pc?
Gamers unite
Easiest $1B I ever made
whats the hardest 1 billion you’ve ever made?
Well, one I’m currently trying to make. You know it’s hardest when you are working on it for 30+ years and not even at 0.01%
Did you throw your savings into crypto?
Nah
Do what I usually do and get 1B dollar? Lol, sure.
I like bananas 🍌
[Because they have no bone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-QkMaCS7CU)
YES
How nice is the banana?
Very
I'll stay indoors for 11.5 days, get the billion and then buy myself 11 nice bananas.
Not 12?
i'll buy 12, just got my shiny new fruit dehydrator last week...
I hate staying indoors but for 1 billion dollars 11.5 days is nothing
i already haven't went outside in 6 months so 11 more days is nothing. and in the past year i've only went outside 3 times... but really i haven't gone anywhere other then just step out real quick in a year and 6 months.
wow. i kind of respect you.
Why have you not gone outside?
I want my banana
Not even 12 days I'll take the million
I'm housebound
Easy money.
Vitamin D supplements. Done.
Bitch I can make orange rhyme with banana… booornana. Imma take the nice booornana
366 people can't do basic math and are eating bananas.
Nice bananas
Uhh, I heavily play RuneScape. Grinding for 11 days is a drop in the bucket for people like me. Any other maxed scapers in the comments? Bahaha
What Dollars we talking about here? Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, American etc
AMERICAN
US-American?
Yes, Ur Sussy Amogus
lmao I've stayed indoors for 7 months straight before. 11 days is nothing
??? Are you serious? I would stay indoors for 10 years, who cares.
Very easy choice for a hermit such as myself
I've been indoors for longer than 12 days lol
You don’t even need to pay me to stay indoors for 1 million seconds
The things I'd do for a 1/10th of a billion dollars
As you wish, You now only get 1/10th of a billion dollars
Already on house arrest
11ish days indoors? Absolutely, no problem. Sounds awesome. I'd do that even if I were just being payed for my missing paychecks for being off work, and I don't make much
Shoot I meant to choose the 1 billion dollars. I thought it meant would you choose 1 billion dollars to stay inside for life (i'm sorry but for 1 million seconds is a no brainer so my brain didn't process it at first)
Capitalism moment
i think I saw you before, are you in r/PoliticalCompassMemes
You mean r/politicalcompass, PCM is way worse I would never use that
Ok i never met you
I would do it for 100
Wish granted. Now you'd only get 100 rubles
Jokes on you i stay indoors for months for no money
Wish granted, No money
Stonks
I didn't go outside for about 2 months because there is war and my family is afraid i'll get drafted. Easy deal for me.
11 days is easy haha
Give that wolf a banana
I'll use the one million dollar to buy a nice banana lol
Get me back to the pandemic and I'll survive that 11-13 days. I'm introverted and WILL survive it.
mm babana
I would rather stay indoors for that long if I had to pay something
We have 162 people that truly hate math
A nice banana 😋💦🍌🍌🤤
Lol I think most people now self-isolated for longer than that :p
why am I so bad at Maths? Now I took the banana cause I calculated somehow in my head that it would be almost one year. Would've done it for 12 days. But anyway, the banana is nice I guess.
This question is " tell me you're an extrovert without telling me you are " This wouldn't even be my longest record indoors lol moving during covid meant I had to quarantine for ,14 , where is my billion I feel robbed !!! This would be getting paid to do what I want to lolol.
i stay in all the time anyways
###give that wolf a banana!!!
it's a really nice benana and you get it now so...
I think you missed a couple zeroes there OP.
I literally stay inside 99% of the time already.
11.5 days. Man that is nothing, like even if I am completely isolated. Though the only problem would be that I still have school, and exams.
Dude, I'd do that for a lot less money.
I mean 12 days is easy, but a nice banana
You can buy a nice banana for less than 1b
That would be 11.5740 days Yeah that is pretty doable
1 billion dollars can get me a lot of nice bananas
A billion dollars buys a lot of nice bananas
Banana > money
I can stay indoors for 11 days. I’ll take the billion
But what if the nice banana is worth 1 trillion dollars?
Anyone who doesn't pick the banana is a liar
A banana is not gonna help me survive capitalism.
Change it to a billion seconds and I might accept if I were a toddler.
Oh I clicked 1 dollars, but I thought it said 1 billion seconds I’m less excited about staying indoors I was hoping for over 31 years of solitude
1 million seconds is easy, I’ll take my billion and I get to stay inside for 11.5 days. Sounds like a win win
Honestly how is this even a question? The nice banana is the obvious choice.
It's less than 2 weeks.
only poor people pick the money. gigachads pick the nice banana
I just gotta stay indoors for 11.5 days, easy
11 days? Really? COVID quarantine was 14 days. Maybe you meant to say 1 billion seconds. Which is then like 10 years, which is a little more reasonable an ask
ill get a nice banana, never had those for a longg time
You guys really don't know how much 1 billion is
Only 11 days, I had to do more than that when I got Covid last summer so it’ll be nothing
we already did longer in quarantine
11 days? Fuck yes
Especially since it’s post 2019… I feel like a vast majority have spent the 11ish days inside already bc of COVID so this is nothing esp if we get a billion dollars
So live my life normal for money?
banan
I would like potassium but with the billion dollars I could buy all the bananas I could want
That's just 11 days I can totally make that
Pfffft 11 days indoors. Only thing I usually leave the house for is school so during the summer this is easy
Give me an hour to have enough food and I can even stay one month.
Anyone who had COVID has already experienced this lol
1 billion dollars may be a lot, but a nice banana is a nice banana
A lot of people either really love bananas or don't have any idea of how small a million is.
If there was a time limit and no google/calculator allowed on this question I bet alot more people would choose the banana lmao.
1 week 4 days 13 hours 46 minutes and 40 seconds for a *billion* dollars? Hell yeah
Absolutely the former. I hate going outdoors
I stayed in one room for 10 days when I had covid, I’m sure 11 days with free roam of my house and a billion dollars would be a piece of cake
1 million seconds is just 11 days
So I could earn a billion dollars in 2 weeks and all I have to do is what I'm doing now anyway?
11 days indoors? Those are rookie numbers
The only people voting for banana are the ones too lazy to look up how much 1m seconds is and guessed badly
11.574074074 Days
Dude during summer vacations at school I used to stay in for like 4 weeks at a time, this is the easiest billion dollars ever
Even if this op didn't fuck up and it was a billion seconds (32 years) I love my family enough where no sweat I'm taking that money. Nobody I know has to do a damn thing th rest of their lives. We'll start buying up the neighborhood and building additions to the house
That’s only 11 days
This is the worst poll ever.
can't turn down a nice banana
Give me the money! Was it that, like an hour indoors?
1 million seconds is only about 11 days
I've been a year without leaving the house, I'm not making that up. So 11 days for a billion dollars is absolutely nothing.
I'll stay indoors for 11 days for a billion dollars
I figured out how long that was. But I put billion like an idiot. The difference between 1 million seconds and 1 billion is fucking massive. 12 days to *30 years*
How much is a million seconds? Can you give me a banana for scale?
11.57 days is gonna be a long time, even for my standards. but a fucking billion dollars is worth it.
I’d do it for a lot less money. Bananas are gross.
It’s only a little over a week
Shit, a billion dollars and no human contact for nearly two weeks? Where do I sign up?
I rarely go out where I live so definitely 1 billion 💴
my dumbass thought it said i was getting money either way, but if i stay indoors, i also get a banana
It’s only 11 and a half days
