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?

Give me 320000 bps or give me death!
