England in a world cup final

No, it wouldn't. In this country yes, but not in the world.

 

[Lysander]

Unless we've peaked as a species and heading for disaster I should hope there is an event that produces larger numbers.

But we have, and we are. The population is going to level out in a few decades. This is pretty much peak humanity now. If you're in the first world, you've lucked out.

 

[the wopster]

Yeah his seat is empty now lol

I think that’s because he’s standing up to speak

edit, he’s back in his position now

 

[LabR@t]

Unless aliens land, I can’t think of any other event that would produce similar numbers.

Massive depopulation over the next few decades.

It was a joke

Europe would tune in hoping we would lose, because they would never hear the end of it .

The ESO megaservers are down for "maintenance". Wonder if they're watching this...

Hehe no worries

Hardly excludes future growth and it's not like the population hasn't leveled out multiple times before in quite dramatic circumstances.

They are saying 4.1 billion people.
Which is double the total population of the planet when the queen was born in 1926.

I saw somebody break this down on twitter based on record tv audiences in various countries, time of day etc and the actual number is likely to be considerably less than this. He estimated around 700m and said that was probably ott.

I hope Thanos isn’t watching… all the infinity stones in one place.

This guy is wearing two.

No other military can pull off parades and ceremonies like ours.

Apart from lots and lots of other countries with just as rich histories who have many more parades and ceremonies than us every year?

Yeah, there's no way there's 4.1 billion actual people watching this live. Maybe 4.1 billion distinct devices connected, recording, etc.

The British exceptionalism is in full force today.

Quantity doesn't equal quality.

I have ran out of sugar, bread, about half a cup of milk left, 1 and half bog roll and a few grams of baccy left. I have 3 kids to feed in the morning before school and get their pack ups done,

Bit daft leaving it to this level especially with kids involved in normal circumstances let alone today.... Guessing the shops closing today came as a surprise?

Wonder how quick this whole affair would be if she was an atheist.
