I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

the solution to this is the same as the solution to the birthday candle problem as you get older. Just as you let each single candle represent x number of candles, each boost can be equal to x boosts.

I struggle to comprehend all these buttons. Now, where did that young man who was helping me, go? He said he was taking my wallet to be relaminated. I didn’t even know it could get delaminated! I wonder if that young man will tell me when he comes back, how to turn off Siri. She just keeps listening, but not responding. I bet she’s writing down every word I say, the sneaky electronic minx! Why, I should look up a way to turn her off just to spite her! Siri, look up…
