"You are technically correct, the best kind of correct."

I have as many assholes as stars in our solar system, even though it seems like more to Lemmy.

I couldn’t find the clip, but first thing that came to mind was the StarTalk Live with Buzz Aldrin and John Hodgman.

Hodgman: “maybe they’ll find H 2 2 2 2 O!”

Edit: crap, I have to call myself out. I failed to read completely, thought the screenshotted poster accidentally changed one part of the comparison, instead of deliberately changing both parts. If the original was molecules in a cubic inch of water vs stars in the observable universe, I read this post as atoms in a molecule vs stars in the observable universe.

Apologies, I discovered I was a fool and was excited to share my discovery.

Ok I had to think about this for a second.

This is especially true for blind people.

Obligatory "what about Jupiter"

Reminds me of the time someone on Xitter said that there are more trees on Earth than there are stars in our Galaxy. They got ratio’d pretty damn hard for it. -_-

Going by the top Duck duck go results for "how many stars in our galaxy" and "how many trees in the world":
"According to Jos de Bruijne, a scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), the current estimate is between 100 to 400 billion stars."
and
"There are an estimated 3.04 trillion trees in the world."

There might even be more hydrogen atoms in one molecule of water, than there are universes we live in!
