Speaker 1 (00:00):
Please, it's deeper in the din with dangerous deed. So
I may ask you a question, What simple pleasure do
you look forward to every single day? They ask people
on Reddit. Some of the best answers include the first
cup of coffee, son on my face in the morning,
and hear birds chirping. Getting greeted by my dog when
I come home is happiness is so genuine. My heart

(00:20):
explodes every time. Greeting my cat when I wake up.
It's awesome. Cuddling with my dog. Other simple pleasures we
look forward to every day. Walking no matter if it's
a short walk or long walk with my dog, having
breakfast with my two little dudes. My sons are three
and one and they're the best. Taking your bra off
at the end of the day and putting on sweatpants.
Working out movement is one of the biggest, most underrated,

(00:42):
underutilized blessings. Listening to music is one of the simple pleasures.
You're welcome walking through the park on your way home
from work, eating dinner with the family, or lying in
bed next to your significant other, and just being deeper
in the if. Knowing that there's eight point two billion
people in the world makes you feel insignificant. This is
not going to help. A new study found out there

(01:04):
might be way more people on Earth than we thought.
According to the UN, we officially crossed the eight billion
mark in November of twenty twenty two. But researchers in
Finland think we have that estimate off the system used.
The track is flawed. They looked at data from thirty
five countries think the number of people living in rural
communities is under counted. They didn't give the number or
say that they think the global population really is, but

(01:26):
they think the populations in those areas might be undercounted
by fifty three to eighty four percent. Other population experts
so disagree. They think their study is flawed, But if
they're right, it could mean that there's billions more people
on Earth than we thought. You know, I don't know
about the rural areas because I know around here. When
I was a kid, my city was nine hundred and four. Now,

(01:47):
I remember them talking about how the fact that that
city would grow exponentially by time we hit the turn
of the century did not happen. Actually, that city's down
around six hundred and some so the rural area maybe
aren't growing at least up here as much as they
are maybe and elsewhere. So we don't know if Finland's
right or they're wrong. All we know is that there's

(02:09):
way too many people certainly don't hope I don't have
to buy everybody a drink. Tune again for another episode
of Deeper in the Den with Dangerous Dave right here.
