minus-squarebreakfastmtn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up14·7 days agoWhere are they hiding all these trees? I just looked outside and saw, like, 5 tops.

minus-squarebreakfastmtn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 days agoDamn. This is complicated. We can’t even count 1-10 trees properly. How did someone manage to count all 3 trillion??
minus-squareTollana1234567@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 days agoprobably estimated by area where trees are found. like quaking aspen clones are close to 80k years old(cloning for that long)
minus-squarecrank0271@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·7 days agoWell I’m seeing like 5 over here as well, so we’re up to 10.

Unless you’re seeing the same trees
That’s why it’s such a fun fact.
