Reminds me of the time someone on Xitter said that there are more trees on Earth than there are stars in our Galaxy. They got ratio’d pretty damn hard for it. -_-
Going by the top Duck duck go results for "how many stars in our galaxy" and "how many trees in the world":
"According to Jos de Bruijne, a scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), the current estimate is between 100 to 400 billion stars."
and
"There are an estimated 3.04 trillion trees in the world."That’s why it’s so crazy that that person was shat on so hard.
Not finding the actual Tweet yet (hard to navigate without an account), but here’s a video covering it:
Also sorry for the billion edits. My brain is giving up on me tonight.
Did you know there are more trees in the world than edits to your comment

Yeah, if you think of it, stars are relatively rare in a galaxy when compared to living beings which are born to procreate. But once you go out to universe, it becomes true.
