Recently, I was shopping for a hard drive at a big box store and tried to filter by capacity ...

I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

I'm gonna upgrade to the 0 TB hard drive pretty soon so everything stops using up so much storage
- Sigh. How many times do I have to keep telling people.. 0TB ≠ 0 TiB. One is a marketing gimmick that makes it look like you're getting more capacity than is actually available. You think you're getting 0TB when you're actually only getting 0TiB.
- It can be ∞ TB if you inverse it by instead uploading to cloud 😏🤏🏻
  
  are you saying all I need to do is reverse the polarity?
- yeah especially since these days software seems to expand to fill the available volume, just like a hot gas.
