They should have just committed to the bit and demanded a googolplex of rubles from Google.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 48 points 3 days ago

The amount is doubled every week until the decision is fulfilled, with no limit on the total amount.

When you skipped the day they went over exponential functions in algebra.

Putting everything else aside:

Why do they think they have any right to be platformed by Google, a private American company?

Can I demand that anti Putin content be platformed on VK or they have to pay me genuinely absurd fines?

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

I don't want to be your friend. I'm going to fine you weekly until you are!

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You can, but why'd you want to platform something on a social network singlehandedly lowering the IQ of the whole IP address block?

for the record, that is $10,779,224,060,605,347,000,000,000,000,000,000 (american) dollars

About 200 million trillion times the entire global GDP

[-] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

they should just print company script and send it to them

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

That one guy is pitching in $5 so now Google owes $10,779,224,060,605,346,999,999,999,999,999,995

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 9 points 3 days ago

I will pitch in .000000000000000000000001 Bitcoin, so that's either insignificant or enough to pay off everything, I have no idea!

[-] andallthat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

on the other hand, when Putin's done killing off most of their own present and future workforce in a senseless war and completely tanking his own economy, that might be the equivalent of like $3

[-] Jrockwar@feddit.uk 20 points 3 days ago

If they keep duplicating the ask, soon they'll be asking for a googol from Google. Hehe.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not a fan of Google, but they look probably like this:

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

I can loan Google the $5 if they need it.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Interest rate: 13820146%

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 days ago

What is that, about tree-fiddy American?

[-] sem@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 days ago

What do you think, how long should we wait until the overflow in the debts database makes the value negative?

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

Who knows what data type they're using. Based on the values given, it's already getting close to 128 bits, and most languages don't have a data type that large in their standards.

I figure it will be more like "Vasily! Print another page of zeros!"

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

So that's like what, $20 American?

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

I predict they get jackshit

[-] djsoren19@yiffit.net 10 points 3 days ago

honestly at this point, why even use real numbers? Just ask for a bazillion rubles, it's about as likely as 2 undecillion.

[-] toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

I wonder what that means for google operating in russia. Since the demanded sum is so large, do they get their assets seized, like for example authorities sacking google phones? Or does this have absolutely no consequences?

[-] mostlikelyaperson@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

I imagine google operation in Russia is currently Ivan with a Chromebook. I guess Putin can nationalize it and call it a victory. Good knows he needs one (but the devil will collect)

[-] resetbypeer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Sounds like Russia is a little on cash...
