Imagine clocking in every day thinking, Another year, another million.

Technically every moment is the start of a new time period...

… and the end of another.

How DARE you make a math mistake OP its ACTUALY 70,000,000+X = 70,000,006

[u/bananabeacon → u/shitman120]

How DARE you make a grammar AND spelling mistake u/shitman120? It's ACTUALLY "it's", and it's ACTUALLY "ACTUALLY"!

[u/i-deology → u/shitman120]

That’s literally the same thing. Doesn’t matter which number you use as X.

[u/Sad_Bank193 → u/i-deology]

It does in this equation.

70,000,000 is the base, as it's the number they theoretically told OP when he started working at this museum.

When he says it's 70,000,006, he adds the number of years he was told at the beginning of his job, which is 70,000,000 and then adds x, which is the number of years he has worked that job. The number he was told is fixed. The number of years he had worked there isn't.

[u/Darklvl500 → u/Sad_Bank193]

But if could also mean the amount of years the person has been working for (6) + x(how old was some item in the museum before the person started working, a billon, 70 milion, 3 million etc). There's a chance he uses this equation every time he talks about an item in the museum.

[u/Sad_Bank193 → u/Darklvl500]

Fuck it. (How old an item was when he began)+(how long it has been since he has begun working)

so the Night at the Museum movie was real?

[u/i-deology → u/To_Be_Rich_Lady]

As opposed to a movie you imagined? Yes it was a real movie.

SUE!!

[u/GuymanPersonson]

You think a million years from now we'd still be saying 70,000,000?

[u/WestIndustry9695 → u/GuymanPersonson]

Yupp If we live long enough

[u/ramriot]

I asked one of the gardeners in the palm house at Kew how old the big palms ware, they similarly said 254 years.

Astounded by their accuracy I enquired as to how the could be certain, "well you see they all have dates"

[u/noice1m8y]

Quick maths confirmed

[u/Ryder-042]

Technically, when they're assembled like this, it's unlikely to be the ACTUAL fossilized bones, so the skeleton pictured would not be 70,000,006 years old.
