Earth today broke its own concurrent user record with up to 8 billion human users, according to. UN report (via NPR). This number blew the Earth’s last concurrent user milestone of 7 billion human users recorded in October 2011 and is double his amount recorded in 1974.
That’s right, despite Earth’s few recent unpopular patches (COVID, global warming, killer hornets) and persistent “mixed” review scores, Earth, more than any other celestial body, was born on Earth. , continues to grow in popularity among the humans present there. known universe. So far, Earth’s servers have held up to the strain, but there seem to be some glaring glitches lately, including an increase in UFO sightings and the popularity of the unexplained Pete He Davidson.
Not everyone is excited about milestones. Some argue that Earth has an unfair monopoly on human life, especially compared to other planets in the solar system. On Mars, for example, colonization has been delayed until an estimated 2033, so he hasn’t been able to attract a single user so far. Lower interest rates and extreme hardware costs.
Current, 10 people in spacebut the season pass (no seasons) or the lack of major features (air, water, things to stand on) deter most people from trying it.
On average, most users logged out after only about 30 years.
Acceptance of Earth as a human client progressed slowly for some time. Despite being formed 4.5 billion years ago, the first human user logged in just two million years ago. The population did not reach just 4 million until around 10,000 BC, and on average most users logged out after just 30 years. There have been some major setbacks, such as the Black Death update in the 1300s, which resulted in a significant drop in users, but other features, such as the 16th-century New World expansion, continued to grow the global user base. rice field.
It wasn’t until 1804 that the number of users on Earth surpassed 1 billion. Since then, his CCU on Earth has grown exponentially, with users staying logged in for an average of 73 years. A common complaint is the long-running money glitch that allows very few users to get rich despite not contributing anything to the planet. The level of simulation is impressive, but we’re still waiting for the HD remake — no meaningful graphics upgrade has been released since Ai’s introduction.
The United Nations estimates that the growth of Earth’s human user base will slow significantly in the coming decades. This planet is further not expected to reach 9 billion users in 15 years, and CCU will peak at 10.4 billion at some point in her 2080s. Things won’t completely fall apart by then.
We have reached out to Gaia, the primordial god of our planet, to comment on this milestone and will update if we receive a reply or foreboding.
