call it whatever you want now, we're just gonna merge it with the other thread once everything is official anyway.

well, it's only 3:30 on the East Coast, so there's plenty of time to release a single today, but yeah, not likely.

I'm not marketing genius; when is the best time to drop a single? Later in the day, after work? Early? Has anyone checked Spotify to see if some dumb-dumb put a new song up there by accident?

«Scientists often measure the loss of ice from the planet’s two gigantic ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, in a particular unit called a “gigaton,” which is sometimes also spelled “gigatonne.” Either way, it’s not something you encounter in your ordinary life, because it’s incredibly “giga-ntic” — the kind of unit that planets depend on.
In the International System of Units, the prefix “giga” means 109, or one billion (1,000,000,000). Hence terms like “gigawatt” or “gigahertz.” Thus, a gigaton is equivalent to a billion metric tons.»
gigaton (plural gigatons)

1. A measure of the strength of an explosion or a bomb based on how many billion tons of TNT would be needed to produce the same energy.
2. One billion tons.

I just told a younger person about pearl jam and she looked at me really funny and nodded. I don't think she knows what I was talking about.

She thought you were talking about semen and you're about to be reported.
