So 10,000 clicks of the “Great Answer” button, but how many more clicks didn’t move the meter? I’m guessing that only about 1 in 10 GAs actually “counts” for you; if that’s right, then your pithy answers have probably been the motivating force behind about 100,000 mouse clicks.
That’s about as many as the attendees at a typical Super Bowl.
At one click per second, it would take 28 hours to generate that many clicks.
If the amount of force required to click the average mouse button is about 0.5 newtons, then the cumulative force behind all those mouse clicks would be sufficient to stop a 10 ton truck traveling at an acceleration rate of 5m/s². Now, imagine that there’s a baby in the road in front of that truck; why, those clicks could save that baby’s life. Doesn’t that make you proud?
