10k? 100k? A million?

I am not talking about calculating with numbers, but rather the point where numbers stop being comprehensible, or “no longer mean anything”.

Try visualizing exactly 10000 apples in your mind.

Edit: What I’ve gathered so far from the answers:

Visualizing: <10

    Interesting. I thought you could split numbers into “bundles” (1 bundle of 5 apples, 10 bundles of those, for example).

    Edit: Or imagine 5 and then start doubling over and over.
