Who are you referring to? The world population is 7.6 billion. Most world population estimates come from the data provided here https://population.un.org/wpp/ . If you have reason to suspect its wrong, they provide contact info. You can send them your evidence.

I'm not going totally down this rabbit hole, but this person is perhaps the stupidest person on the planet. He says there are 457 cities with population over 1 million, that makes 457 million people. Does he not realize that some of those 457 have 10 million or 5 million or 3 million?
It's probably done as a joke, but this population conspiracy idea is even stupider than the flat earth theory. There is no reason for it. Saying "OMG, there are 8 billion people on the planet we need to do something" if you don't have any previous reference for it would have the same reaction as saying "OMG there are 1 billion people on the planet..." It'd be pointless to exaggerate it.
Thanks for the laugh, but I don't think this conspiracy will get any traction.

I know a quick-fire way of reducing it by one. Do you live near a train track?
That’s a messy and irresponsible way of going about it. Why not just jump of a very tall bridge?
Who are "they"? The Illuminati?
I'm often concerned about the world's population and how it is growing so big. The more people then more resources are needed to support them, but we could literally run out of them. It must be reaching a point where we can't support more life.
The UN organization you referenced does not count people they just compile data. Each country is responsible for conducting their own census. There are probably countries like Syria where the population counts are not up-to-date or accurate. I would think conducting an accurate census in India would be a challenge as well.
The bottom line, we don't know exactly how many people there are in the world.
There are literally people been born and dying non stop at the same time so it is impossible to know unless we round it to the nearest million I guess. When people die the number goes down and when people are born it goes up so there is a difference between those numbers but I don't know how it is possible to track.

Tall bridges don't exist. That's another government conspiracy. I drove around my town and didn't see any tall bridges, therefore they don't exist.

Thanks for that nugget of wisdom.
Q: Are they lying about the world's population?
A: Yes. Yes, “they” are lying. You have to watch out for “them”. “They” always lie and clearly “they” have an agenda. I know because I read about “them” on infowars.
Banana Bread, you have used the word “literally” correctly twice in one thread - and on the same page, no less!
I am figuratively proud of you.
PS- for those worried about overpopulation, don’t worry: that’s why we have population corrections. AIDS, Bird Flu... my guess is that the next one will be a superbug created from the 0.001% of germs that hand sanitizer isn’t getting to...

As a runner I go to the toilet half the time when I'm out in the run and have to go behind bushes. I often use leaves as toilet paper. Sometimes if I have stomach cramps and I don't get to go home for a shower for a few hours I end up getting bad inflammation down there and it stings like hell. I imagine people which never get showers must find it hard to sit down because of stinging all the time. Or they probably find useful things to wipe with.
