Let's put this into an official standard. What's that in Olympic swimming pools filled with gasoline per second?

(2.5 million liters / pool) * (34.2 megajoules / liter) per second = 5.8 x 10^11 watts / pool.

2.2 x 10^38 watts / (5.8 x 10^11 watts / pool) = 380 septillion pools per second.

Thanks.

There are a host of XKCD standards that the article should also have mentioned, like laser pointer and AK-47-on-full-auto equivalents.
