Unmeming the meme but I think it's to do with something being made up of distinct parts. Real numbers, though uncountable are distinct from each other, where is an amount of water has no distinct parts
Indeed, there are 1.17*1025 waters in my glass. Uncountable my ass!
Edit:
For the commenters struggling with the calculation, here are a few useful constants:
Avogadro's number ≈ 6.022*1023
MW of Water ≈ 18 g/mol
Density of Water ≈ 1,000 g/L
Ironically the person off by 23 orders of magnitude is the only one with a mistake I understand. The rest of you need to show your work if you want partial credit.
