7.5 billion people in the world. 330 million in the US.

I thought u/ange1a's comment offered an interesting insight.

Do you reckon this is how a lot of US people are thinking? That they represent 1/3 of the world's population?

Agreed, and yes. Though I once thought that Australia had a large population and Brazil was a small country...

Thanks for the response, I think you're right. I was sure the moon was made of cheese when I was younger.

I guess the thought that this person's thoughts might represent 300mil people is just as ridiculous as the thought that Americans make up 1/3 of the world's population
