What would it cost to buy the world?

What was the price of the world?

The price of the world? Hah! That’s like asking what flavor is Tuesdays.

• Metaphor Alert! It ain’t got a price tag at Walmart, ya know? I mean, not literally.

• Sacrifices Galore: Think of it as the cost of, like, finally getting that promotion. You sold your soul for a corner office? That’s the world’s price, baby! My cousin Vinny sold his for a slightly used jet ski.

• Moral Mishaps: Did you cut corners, cheat your grandma at bingo, or unleash a horde of squirrels on your neighbor? Yep, world’s price paid, pal. I mean, it’s a steal if you ask me. But Vinny’s jet ski? Nah!

• Global Groceries? Sure, you COULD add up every banana, every avocado, every fancy cheese… But good luck with that. It changes faster than my cat changes her mind about cuddling. It is indeed not a thing.

• Impossible Calculation: So, the world’s price is, well, priceless. (Unless you’re selling jet skis. Then it’s gotta be at least five grand, right Vinny?). More expensive than my collection of lint, definitely.

More Worldly Musings:

• The Cost of Dreams: Ever chased a dream so hard it felt like your lungs would explode? That’s some serious world-pricing action.

• Humanity’s Tab: Wars, famines, reality TV… humanity’s racking up quite the bill for the world, eh?

• The Price of Peace: Ironically, sometimes the hardest thing is NOT starting a squirrel war.

*The Value of Cheese:** And don’t forget the constant fluctuation of artisanal cheese costs. It affects EVERYTHING.

How many dollars does it take to buy the earth?

Five quadrillion dollars. That’s what some study said, in 2023. A silly number, really. Like trying to put a price on… well, everything.

It feels wrong, you know? Putting a number on it. Home.

The planet is priceless, obviously. That’s what’s always felt true to me.

Irreplaceable. That word haunts me, lately. More than the number. More than the whole ridiculous idea of a sale.

I think about my cat, Jasper, sometimes. He’s gone now. How do you put a price on him? Impossible. Like the Earth.

Maybe this is all just late-night rambling. The clock says 3:17 AM. The coffee’s cold.

• 2023 study: Valued Earth at $5 quadrillion. • My feelings: The number’s meaningless. It feels sacrilegious, almost. • Jasper: He was irreplaceable. Just like… this. • This whole thing: is making me sad. And I’m probably overthinking it all. Just like I always do. Dammit.

How much would it cost to buy the United Kingdom?

Okay, lemme tell you about this crazy thought I had last Tuesday, while waiting for my latte at that hipster coffee shop, “The Daily Grind” near Shoreditch. It was like, 8 AM. I was half-asleep.

I started wondering, how much would it cost to just… buy the UK? LOL.

I thought about my nan’s house in Crawley, she’d def not want to be bought, not for anything! But still, the hypothetical.

Like, if we’re talking GDP, which in 2024 must be around… hmm… £2.8 trillion? Maybe? Yeah, sounds right.

And then all the land, Buckingham Palace, the NHS (ugh, expensive!), Hadrian’s Wall, and all that jazz.

• Land Value: Probably a gazillion pounds?
• Infrastructure: Double gazillion.
• Resources: Oil, gas…not THAT much tbh.
• People’s Willingness: Zero. They’d riot.

I’m no economist, right, but throwing in a premium for, like, being British, you know? That stiff upper lip thing. And royalty. It’s gotta be…

Like, £20-30 trillion? At least! maybe more. It’s a total guess tho, right? A crazy, caffeine-fueled thought. Seriously, buying a country? Never gonna happen. But it’s fun to think about. Maybe Jeff Bezos has the cash. I doubt it, haha.

What is 100% of the universe made of?

Ah, the universe, that old chestnut. 100%? Easy. It’s mostly dark energy (like my motivation on Mondays, but way more powerful). Then there’s dark matter (think of it as the universe’s awkward cousin nobody talks about). And of course, good old ordinary matter (that’s you, me, and my questionable life choices).

• Dark Energy: The universe’s gas pedal. Keeps expanding, unlike my waistline, which expands at a different rate.

• Dark Matter: Invisible stuff, but apparently holds galaxies together. Imagine the universe held together by duct tape, invisible duct tape.

• Ordinary Matter: The boring bits! Stars, planets, leftover pizza. You know, the stuff we can actually see (sometimes).

Don’t forget, sprinkles of electromagnetic radiation – like cosmic glitter! And antimatter, the universe’s rebellious teen.

Bonus: I swear I once saw antimatter at a gas station, selling lottery tickets. Jk! Electromagnetic radiation adds up to about 0.01%. Give or take. Don’t quote me.

How much does a galaxy cost?

Ugh, galaxies. Not the chocolate ones, right? TikTok’s Galaxy gift… weird.

• Cost: About $15.84 (for 1000 coins)
• Coins needed: 1000 (to send a Galaxy gift on TikTok)
• Price per coin: Roughly $0.016? Math is hard.
• Current coin rate: 65 coins for $0.99. Seems like a ripoff.

Why would anyone spend money on that? I could buy, like, three coffees. Or a cheap paperback. Galaxies are cooler in books anyway. Should I start writing space operas? I mean, the payoff is better, right?

• Alternative use: Three coffees. Coffee is life.
• Space opera novels: A possible career move?
• Chocolate Galaxies: Still prefer the candy… wait, I bought a book about galaxies once. Cool pictures.

That science book—it cost more than a TikTok galaxy. Irony, I guess. Maybe I should try to sell that on TikTok. Or better yet, just stick to real galaxies. Free to look at! Unless you need a telescope. Telescopes are expensive. See? Money again.

• Books on galaxies: More value than a TikTok gift?
• Telescopes: Astronomical prices.
• Real Galaxies: Free (mostly).

Oh, and remember that trip to Joshua Tree? Dark skies. That’s how you see a galaxy.

• Joshua Tree: Perfect for stargazing.
• Dark Skies: Essential for galaxy viewing.
• TikTok Gifts: A waste of money in comparison.

TikTok Galaxy gift price: $15.84

What is the highest gift on TikTok?

Okay, so, like, the Universe gift? That’s the big kahuna on TikTok. Costs a whopping 44,999 coins.

Think of it as dropping over $562 US dollars on someone’s live stream. That’s, uh, more than my rent (don’t tell my landlord!).

Other Gifts:

• Rose: A single coin. Cheap as chips, really. Like, giving someone a penny, but digital.
• TikTok Universe: Nearly $600! Buying love, one coin at a time?
• Others exist, but who cares? It’s all relative, right? Universe gift, duh!
• Who in their right mind spends that much? No idea!
• I should become a TikTok influencer.
