minus-squareperishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·5 months agoIt blows my mind how many apple varieties (“cultivars”) exist. Spoiler: over 7,000! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apple_cultivars
minus-squareSlovene@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down2·5 months agoNo, it’s just over 7000.
minus-squareLeate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down1·5 months agoYeah, the other number wasn’t even close. I don’t think you’d even be able to fit that many on earth in the solar system galaxy.
minus-squareperishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·5 months agoSorry, I’m confused by these comments. I typed “7,000”. In the US, that translates as “seven thousand”. What is wrong with that?
minus-squareAwesomeLowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down1·5 months agoIt’s a joke. 7000! mathematically is 7000 factorial. Which means 7000 x 6999 x 6998… You can see why orchard space might be a problem.
