    1 tweet = 140 bytes

    1 (printed) page = 60 lines of 60 characters = 3600 bytes

    1 moa (minute of audio in 128000 bps mp3) = 960000 bytes

    1 mov (minute of video) = typically around 30MB but varies by resolution and encoding, like ounces vs troy ounces vs apothecary ounces.

    1 loc (library of congress, used for measuring hard drive capacity) = around 10TB depending on jurisdiction.

      These are all rough averages, of course, but Tweets can be rather bigger than 140 bytes since they’re Unicode, not ASCII. What’s Twitter without emoji?
