    Just putting this out there that they mean Chelsea in Manhattan, New York City.

    For those of us whose first notion was Chelsea in London. You know, on the other side of the big-ish pond.

    There's 7.7 billion people on this planet and only ~1.8 billion seconds in a 90-year lifespan.
    Even if you tried to care about every single person, 1 second for 1 person, your life would run out by the time you hit 1.8 billion if you are lucky to hit 90.
    Kind of a pointless venture.
    That's why i find these groups who represent an entire gender or race moronic. You don't even have the basic math education to realize you don't have the lifespan to represent them all for 1 second each, yet you are pulling this shit? Get the fuck outta here.

    Agree with your logic, but not your math:
    90 * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 = 2,840,184.000
    so more like 2.8 billion seconds
