Default Eight Billion

By the time you read this thread, the human population of the world may be eight billion, 8,000,000,000.

World population to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022 | United Nations

Live counter: World Population Clock: 7,999,900,776 People (LIVE, 2022) - Worldometer (live if you visit the page that is. I don't see a way to embed a live count here).

Wow, I would've guessed it was 6 billion when I was born but it was actually 3.5 billion. 6 billion is definitely the first number I remember hearing, but apparently that didn't happen until 1999. I guess I wasn't paying much attention in my youth.

Hovering over the Population, 1950-2100 chart here: Future Population Growth - Our World in Data suggests we will reach 8.675309 billion (8,675,309,000) sometime in 2031-2032.

So you only have to wait 10 years for that number ...

Honestly, I was expecting we'd reach 1000 X the Jenny number sooner.
