It bothers me that it’s a thousand and not a million. Numbers shouldn’t work that way.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It was a thousand for millennia. Why should it stop now?
That's just English barbarism.

... the current use was proposed in the late 18th century my the French.

Proposed in 1793, and adopted in 1795, the prefix comes from the Latin mille, meaning one thousand (the Latin plural is milia).

wiki/Milli-

In Italian it goes mille --> milione. Which is og correct, but doesn't help the situation.

What I hate is that ppl will sometimes fuss if I use "k" prefixes.

Why is a millennia not a MILLION YEARS 😩😩😩

[-] Evil_Shrubbery 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Bcs a mille is 1000.
A much bigger mille is 1000000.

One megayear would be a millenniona? :|

million(n.)

"ten hundred thousand, a thousand thousands," late 14c., milioun, from Old French million (late 13c.), from Italian millione (now milione), literally "a great thousand," augmentative of mille "thousand," from Latin mille, which is of uncertain origin. From the start often used indefinitely for "a very great number or quantity."

Millenniona is my new favorite amount of time.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery 5 points 1 week ago

All timer bar on that album:

Bitches know my dick, they call that n****a Richard.

[-] qualia@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Similarly, one thousandth of a tary equals one military.

[-] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 11 points 1 week ago

Would each Millie Bobby Brown have its own mini Whitney Houston, or would all 1000 Millie Bobby Brown's need to gather in one place in order to summon the undead Whitney?

P.S. Undead Whitney Houston looks just like that creepy girl from The Ring, but with a sodden joint hanging out of her mouth.

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

1000 Millie Bobby Browns would not be enough for Whitney Houston, because she is actually 4 billion people at the same time. Whitney Houston is every woman.

*slow clap*

Celebrities are always shorter than you think they are.

i am the american dream

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 7 points 1 week ago

Millie Bobby Brown is least problematic Bobby Brown

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

1/1000th as problematic, in fact.

[-] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Why is everybody talking, all of this stuff about them? Why don't they just let them live?

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

They say they're nasty, but I don't give a damn. Gettin' girls is how they live.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It is their prerogative, after all.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A megaphone contains 10¹² (a trillion) microphones. A total surveillance state does not sound that impossible now, right?

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago
[-] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

It wasn’t talked about much publicly, but Bobby Brown was secretly Gumby’s alter ego, like Hannah Montana.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah, imagine that - you can't, the number is too high.

Now tell me why does Trilby Bobby Brown even exist?? That is too many Millies!!!

But can she launch a ship?

[-] 10thGlyphix@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Not sure. I'm worried about a imperial/ metric mixup.
