That's one of those tiktok stats.
Here's how a scientist would word it:
The Sun emits 3.8 x 10^33 ergs/sec or 3.8 x 10^26 watts of power...or each second, an amount of energy equal to 3.8 x 10^26 joules. -

2023-01-21 at 12:02 AM UTCThere is increasing evidence indicating that extreme social withdrawal (Hikikomori) is a global phenomenon.
This article provides a qualitative review of the phenomenon of extreme social withdrawal (ESW) among young people. It defines the condition and provides figures on its prevalence, as well as discussing associated concepts such as loneliness and “aloneliness,” school absenteeism and dropout, the ‘new’ developmental stage of adultolescence, and the labor force categories of freeter and NEET. The core of the paper focuses on the origins of ESW in young people, exploring etiological factors such as brain processes, temperament, psychiatric conditions, and family and peer experiences. It also looks at the potential of excessive internet and digital media use. Finally, the article discusses possible interventions for young people with ESW.
The article is significant to this topic as it provides insight into a phenomenon that is likely to become increasingly prevalent as society continues to experience economic and social upheaval. The article highlights the importance of addressing the root causes of ESW, such as family and peer experiences, in order to prevent it from becoming a long-term problem. It also provides an understanding of the potential interventions that can be employed to help young people suffering from ESW.
The sociological term for this is “social collapse.” -

Think so? There are a lot of mosquitos as it is and none of these seem too popular. Are you thinking that the more of something there is, the more popular it would be as a food? I know people like to eat ants but I also don't think of them as a popular food. I wonder what the most of an insect there is, is. Is it ants?
