Want your mind blown?
The population of the USA in 1941 when WW2 started is lower than the number of babies that will be born this year.

Umm...
In 1941 there were ~133M people in the US.
For the past 30+ years, there were ~140M births per year worldwide (of which ~4M were in the US), and nearly as many deaths.
The world is lot bigger than the US.
Why do you think that's mind-blowing?
@fuy Because it is.
There are more people born every year than were alive in the entire world in 200BC.
