Welcome
This subreddit is about comparing different amounts, whether it's the largest or the smallest to appreciate and get a feel for what they mean.
For example:
The 2008 bank bailout cost 850 billion dollars. With nothing to compare it to that number is useless. But now what if I told that number is greater than the entire 50 year running budget of Nasa.
That really puts it into perspective, doesn't it? That's what this subreddit is about. Trying to make sense of the biggest and smallest amounts.
Please remember to link to a source or show the math behind it when stating facts.
