From Jan 1 2000 to the beginning of today there have been 793,411,200 seconds
That's 2,380,233,600 swimming pools
at 2,500,000 L per pool
so a total volume loss of 5.950584×10¹⁵ L
a shot glass should be 30ml
so that should be around 1.983528×10¹⁴ shots of vodka
Vodka is $76 a L in Australia because fuck me amirite
at a rough cost of $4.52244384×10¹⁷
tl;dr: it's in the title idiot.
How about in cubic parsecs?
2.025381451×10−37 pc³
That's a number alright
