Any time I’m at an airport, I think about how I’ll never see the fellow travelers ever again.

Then I wondered how long it would take to see everyone alive across an average lifetime considering birth trends.

You’d have to see ~604,101 people every single day for the rest of your life to see everyone ever.

now i'm curious how many people the average person sees every day

This is how I feel with public transit in the city: you rarely see the same person twice.

I tap out at around 20-30 new people in one day 🤣

Meeting them that is... as far as people watching goes, I could probably handle a couple thousand per day 🤔
