I fucking hate the “69 420 haha funny number” meme but I took it upon myself to do the math.

Shrek is 1h 35mins, or 1.5833333333 hours. 1.5833333333 times 69,420 equals 109,915 hours, or 150.5683281 months. 150.5683281 months is 12.547374425532 years, or roughly 12 years and 199 days. Now, multiply the exact value of that rough estimation’s decimals (0.7916653075) by 24, you get 18.99996738 hours. So far our total is 12 years, 199 days, and 18 hours. For minutes we multiply the decimals by 60, and the same for seconds. We get 59.9980428 minutes. For seconds it’s the same, so we get 59.882568 seconds.

So, our total is 12 years, 199 days (about 6 months and 19 days), 18 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds to watch Shrek 69,420 times.

However, if we want to be realistic, we do have to consider the possibility of sleep. Eating isn’t a problem, because you can eat while watching it. People sleep about 1/3 of a day, so let’s multiply every value by 3 to equate it.

Multiplying the year and day values by 3 (dividing the multiplied value by 365 for days) and adding them together leaves us with 37.6356164384 years. Multiplying the decimal by 365 equals 232.000000016 days. Multiplying the decimal by 24 gives us 0.000000384. If we convert this to minutes, then seconds, we get less than a millisecond, so it’s not important.

So, with sleep included, it would take 37 years and 232 days(about 7 months and 22 days) to watch Shrek 69,420 times.
