How many people celebrate Christmas, comparatively?

Wogi , (edited )

So, I was going to do that math but it’s 65 fucking countries and I’m bored but I ain’t got that much battery left on my phone.

At one time Britain ruled over 1 out of every 5 people on the planet. If we carry that forward to today it’s roughly 1.6 billion people. Let’s call that the lower bound.

If we take the average population of any given country, which is fair given that China wasn’t but India was one of them, and divide that by the number of countries and then multiply it by the number Britain used to rule, we get 2.6 billion.

Let’s call that the upper bound.

There are roughly 2.6 billion christians worldwide. But not all of them celebrate Christmas. In the US, 85%-95% do. Let’s just use that for the upper bound and say 2.2 to 2.5 billion people celebrate Christmas worldwide. Let’s say 50% is the lower bound, at 1.3 billion people.

Which means that it’s possible, and not even unlikely that more people celebrate independence from Britain than celebrate Christmas.

Entropywins ,

What about all the non christians that celebrate Xmas…

Wogi ,

… Rounding error. That number is gonna be pretty small, and mostly limited to majority Christian, Western countries.

Entropywins ,

Don’t call me a rounding error!!!

Wogi ,

I have and will continue. Don’t worry I’m also a rounding error. Honestly rounding error could sum up my entire generation

Iirc there was some danish bank IT guy who stole every unit of currency smaller than 10^-4 in his banks transactions. Pretty neat until he got caught

Then you find all the large bottles of water have “fruit flavoring”, and it turns out that’s enough sugar to cause weight gain.

For this reason I prefer a good beer, sugar free, isotonic and the almost complete Vit.B complex.

Alcohol coverts back to sugar in your body all

Zerush OP ,
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, but in beer are not much alcohol (4-5%), also beer with 0,9% or also without. Currently there are good brands with a fairly good non-alcoholic beer, since the manufacturing is not done as before, heating it to evaporate the alcohol (and the flavor), but the manufacturing is exactly the same as normal beer, with the only difference of using a yeast for fermentation that does not produce alcohol.

9gag, they also have 816. Is this where the screenshot is from?

lemmyreader OP ,

I think it was some site I found via some Linux news page, but not 9gag. A few months ago I saw another site with 800 something as well. Odd.

CanadaPlus ,

So, we’ve moved on from Reddit. Do we still make fun of 9gag now?

Honytawk ,

Why wouldn’t we? Still a shithole over there.

CanadaPlus , (edited )

I don’t know, maybe it’s just so irrelevant now we need a new joke, I guess. Then again, OP was on it.
