From the basics of time, to things you likely didn't know about the world, join me as I
reveal to you 14 things that'll happen in the next 24 hours.
20.
A New Day Will Start And End It may sound cliche, but 24 hours is an important
set of time in the world that we call Earth.
If you really think about it, 24 hours is a clock by which we wrap our lives around.
Each day we live is basically a 24 hour cycle that we choose to do certain things and then
do other things the next day if we're able to.
And because the world is so big, that means every 24 hours brings a TON of new things
to life, and some old things that we continue to do because that is what requires of us.
A single day is an important part of history whether we know it or not.
And because time flows like it does, we may not realize just how much is done in a single
day until we decide to reflect on it later.
So don't waste the day, ok?
19.
Cars Are Being Built If you think about it, much of what we do
in the world today is quite literally fueled by transportation.
There was a time when traveling around the world was a hassle, or a quite literal quest
that would push people and supplies to their limits.
But now, the world is built on the concept that we can get anywhere, especially through
cars.
Every single day in the world, there are about 200,000 cars made in plants and factories.
That may seem low to you because of the nature of car building in regards to the assembly
lines and such.
But remember, this isn't just about making cars, it's about making quality cars.
And making sure that they're safe to drive and such.
Which is very important.
18.
Life Is Born Technically speaking, it's impossible to know
how much life is born every single day.
After all, while it is possible to calculate how many babies among humans are born, trying
to calculate all the animals that are in the world is a bit more difficult.
But for those wanting to know how many babies are being born every day, that would be about
367,000 give or take a couple hundred, or even thousand technically.
It is a bit life-affirming, isn't it?
Because a new child being born into the world means that there's a new person that can potentially
being hope and joy and maybe even peace and love to others.
Granted, not all babies are born to the best of circumstances, but it's the hope that their
lives will be meaningful that gets most people going.
Kind of nice.

17.
Life Is Going Extinct Sorry to depress you everybody, but sadly,
this is a key point of our world.
Part of the balance that is needed to help things live.
But while death itself is natural, there's a difference between death and extinction.
And every single day on Earth, there are between 150-200 different species of life between
plants and animals that are slowly going extinct.
That's not a good number, especially when some of these animals absolutely can be saved
if some effort is put into their protection and preservation.
For example, one of the biggest reasons for extinction among certain animals is the loss
of habitat due to human expansion.
So cutting back on that will allow animals and their ecosystems to thrive.
Then of course, there are many species of rhinos and elephants that are dying out due
to poaching, aka illegal hunting.
Fighting off poachers and better protecting the animals are a key part of preservation
of life.
There are those doing that right now, and that's to be applauded, but unless more is
done, it won't be enough.
16.
Life Dies Oh yeah, I'm going to depress you more.
But I'll keep it short.
In terms of life dying every day, it's surprisingly small.
All over the world, only 151,000 people die every day.
"How is that small?"
You might ask.
Remember, there are 8 billion people in the world today.
So having that few pass is actually a blessing.
Still, losing anyone is hard, depressing even.
So...
15.
Let's Raise A Glass Despite it being something that honestly isn't
good for you, alcohol is one of the most popular things in the whole wide world.
And so not surprisingly, a MASSIVE amount of alcohol is consumed every single day.
How much exactly?
Try 72 MILLION liters of it.
No, not glasses, LITERS.
That's a lot of drinking, and it comes from all sorts of drinks from around the world.
Just remember, be responsible when you drink.
And watch out for your friends who may have had a few too many in "celebration".
14.
Breath In, Breathe Out Take a breath.
No, really, go on and take a breath.
Take it in deep, and it let it out long.
Does that make you feel better?
Good, that is part of the point.
Breathing isn't just something we do every single day, it's a necessary part of life
itself in terms of functioning the human body.
Even when you don't notice.
Speaking of not noticing, breathing is honestly something that you do without thinking about
it most of the time.
So because of that, you likely don't know how many breaths you take in 24 hours.
Go on!
Take a guess, I'll wait.
5000 breaths a day?
Higher.
10,000 breaths a day?
Keep going!
20,000 breaths a day?
Almost there!
The average adult takes between 21,000-28000 breaths a day.
This can obviously go up or down depending on your lifestyle, but it's still a fascinating
number.
13.
Puppy Love Ok, to be fair, this one isn't just about
puppies, this involves all pets.
Because when it comes to life, a lot of people don't just want human companionship, they
want a loyal pet that'll be there for them when times are needed.
And there are plenty of animal shelters and breeders all over the world who are happy
to give people those pets.
On average, about 7400 pets find new homes via adoption.
And that's just in the United States!
So if you add in all the other countries of the world, you'd get a pretty big number.
However, America is one of the nations of the world who really try and emphasize getting
animals into shelters so that they can be adopted.
12.
Open For Business In the world that we live in today, there
are a LOT of people who have dreams, and dream jobs.
But one kind of job that many people all over the world want is the ability to run their
own business.
Whether it be something like making crafts, being a mechanic with their own shop, a shipping
company, a consulting company, making books, video games, movies, whatever you want!
It's possible if you have the right skills, and money.
To that end, every day in the world, about 1100 new businesses are opened up.
On a certain level, I'm sure that seems rather small.
With 8 billion people in the world, you'd think it would be more.
But you're thinking about this as if it was easy to open your own business.
It's not.
It takes work, effort, money, contacts, and a belief that you can make it succeed.
So having 1100 new businesses open in a day, meaning over 30,000 in a month and about 360,000
new businesses opening every year is a pretty big deal.
And if you're one of those new businesses, we wish you the best of luck with all of your
endeavors.
11.
Text Me, Maybe?
Cell phones are basically glued to humanity nowadays.
And for young people especially, that means that they're texting constantly with their
friends, family, and so on and so forth.
But how many texts are sent every single day?
About 23 billion.
Yep.
I'll give you a moment to contemplate that as we move on.
10.
The Beat Goes On Since the creation of iTunes, music is a much
more mobile part of our daily lives, and every day people want more songs to listen to.
To that end, every 24 hours over 21 million songs are downloaded off of iTunes.
So tell me, what songs have you downloaded recently?
9.
What Are You Watching?
Well, right now, you're watching this video on Youtube, and you're not alone with being
on the popular video viewing channel.
As every day about 5 billion views are put onto Youtube.
That's a lot, but considering how popular Youtube is, maybe not as much as you think.
Just be sure to like and subscribe to the videos and channels you love, it helps people
out.
8 Need A Ride?
So you don't have your own car, huh?
That's ok, there are new ways to get rides in this world, and one of the most popular
ways is that of Uber.
The service has been around for many years now, and every 24 hours in the places Uber
is available, over 2 million rides are ordered every day.
It's important to remember that the reason the number is so high is that each driver
can get multiple riders in an hour.
Sometimes the person only needs a ride to a place 5 minutes away.
So that adds up over the course of a day.
7.
To Have And To Hold There are many special events that are tied
to life, and one of the most prominent by far is that of weddings.
Weddings are believed to be one of the happiest points of a person's life (though if they
get divorced I guess it becomes a bitter memory...), and so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise
that there are so many wedding going on every 24 hours.
How many people tie the knot?
That would be 114,000 couples, so that would be 228,000 people get married every single
day!
And for the record, that's worldwide.
6.
Flying High Remember when I said that our world is basically
governed by the notion of traveling?
I seriously wasn't kidding, but it's not just cars that we use to get around, right?
One of the safest modes of transportation that is used by thousands upon thousands of
people every day is flying.
And just in the United States alone, there are 87,000 flights that happen in about a
24 hour period.
Now as anyone who has been on a flight knows, that number can fluctuate based on seasons,
weather, mechanical issues, and more, but considering that there is only 24 hours in
a day, and that airports aren't as numerous as you might expect in the United States,
that means that a lot of planes go out of a lot of airports within a 24 hour period.
5.
Bad Boys Bad Boys While it's true that there are many good things
happening in the world today, it's also true that some people can't help but do bad things.
And when those people come around, it's the police that are dispatched to deal with them.
In the United States alone, over 29,000 people are arrested every 24 hours.
Yeah, it's not always for life-altering crimes, but an arrest is an arrest.
And to be honest, since there are 300 million people plus in the United States, that's actually
a low-ish number.
4.
Arbor Day Every Day The world we live in is one that is blessed
by nature in many ways, but we also have to use nature to take care of our own needs.
Which means that every day, trees are chopped down so you at home can have paper and other
products that you use every single day.
As many have noted, that means that there needs to be trees planted in order to replenish
them.
Luckily, that does indeed happen.
For in the period of 24 hours, 4.3 million new trees are planted every single day.
Obviously, it's going to take them some time to grow, and some will die out before they're
fully grown.
But in this case, the thought and the effort most definitely matter.
3.
Can You Hear Me Now?
In the modern age, technology fuels our lives, and without a doubt the device that is the
most used, most talked about and most talked on is the phone.
Specifically nowadays, the smartphone.
With every year bringing in new models, new versions, and new "advances" in technology,
it honestly shouldn't be too much of a surprise that so many are sold every day for one reason
or another.
But what might surprise you is that it's 4 million smartphones a day!
Yeah, can you hear that?
2.
I'm Lovin It What?
You can't have a list featuring 24 hours without talking about fast food places!
It's a thing that makes the world go round!!!
And the king of fast food is without a doubt McDonald's.
With them having low prices and great food it's easy to see why so many people go to
them during the course of a day.
But how much food is produced by them every day?
Well, that number is hard to calculate, BUT, when it comes to burgers?
Yeah, we got you on that.
Try 6.5 million burgers are made and given out to customers every single day.
Just the burgers!
And that's just in the United States, McDonald's is a global brand, which means even more is
made by them.
Again though, that's just the burgers, that's not including fries, drinks, and the rest
of the menu.
1.
Happy Birthday!
What's that?
It's not your birthday today?
Don't worry, I wasn't just saying it to you, I was saying it to the 18,000,000 people on
average who have a birthday on this day, and the next, and the next, and so on and so forth.
Depending on your social circle (and yes, that does include Facebook), you no doubt
notice that a lot of your friends have a wide array of birthdays.
And yet, there are also some friends of yours who celebrate the same birthday.
Now picture that happening ALL OVER THE WORLD!!
18,000,000 birthdays in 24 hours is a lot of birthday presents, a lot of balloons, a
lot of cake and ice cream, and a lot of fun.
Just in the United States, every 24 hours features about 814,000 birthdays.
