    If they keep duplicating the ask, soon they’ll be asking for a googol from Google. Hehe.

    honestly at this point, why even use real numbers? Just ask for a bazillion rubles, it’s about as likely as 2 undecillion.

    The amount is doubled every week until the decision is fulfilled, with no limit on the total amount.

    When you skipped the day they went over exponential functions in algebra.

    They should have just committed to the bit and demanded a googolplex of rubles from Google.

    Putting everything else aside:

    Why do they think they have any right to be platformed by Google, a private American company?

    Can I demand that anti Putin content be platformed on VK or they have to pay me genuinely absurd fines?

      You can, but why’d you want to platform something on a social network singlehandedly lowering the IQ of the whole IP address block?

    What do you think, how long should we wait until the overflow in the debts database makes the value negative?

      Who knows what data type they’re using. Based on the values given, it’s already getting close to 128 bits, and most languages don’t have a data type that large in their standards.

      I figure it will be more like “Vasily! Print another page of zeros!”

    I wonder what that means for google operating in russia. Since the demanded sum is so large, do they get their assets seized, like for example authorities sacking google phones? Or does this have absolutely no consequences?

      I imagine google operation in Russia is currently Ivan with a Chromebook. I guess Putin can nationalize it and call it a victory. Good knows he needs one (but the devil will collect)
