Dirk Nowitzki has played 50,000 NBA minutes. Have you done anything that long?

Dirk Nowitzki passed the 50,000-minute mark in his career on Monday, a milestone that only five other players have ever reached. By the end of the season, Nowitzki will pass Jason Kidd and Kevin Garnett, becoming the third-most prolific player of all time. To play that much time consecutively, Nowitzki would need to spend 35 straight days on the basketball court.

That’s longer than I’ve done most things that aren’t essential to living — you know, things like sleeping, eating, thinking of the perfect comeback that would have won an argument weeks later in the shower, breathing. I haven’t even watched Nowitzki play basketball for 50,000 minutes.

I wanted to know, so here’s my informal Twitter poll.

Way too many failed to catch the “interesting” part. In fact, very few of these things were interesting, to me. Let’s start there, and work our way to a realization about our lives.

I’m sure much of it is boring, but there’s got to be at least 50,000 interesting minutes in there. Nicely done, pilot.

OK, everyone tweet at Maury until he tells us what interesting thing he has done for 50,000 minutes.

If you had studied math for even 500 minutes, much less 50,000, you probably know that you’ve been alive longer than the 35 days that 50,000 minutes make up. I find it extremely interesting that you could avoid math for that long, and also, would like to know more about this exciting opportunity.

I’M SUBMITTING A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST RIGHT NOW.

Everything Dirk has ever done is interesting, especially his basketball player, so yes.

Beau says he’s not quite there, but I bet he’s close. He’s a highlights legend!

I suppose that is slightly interesting, although bragging about hours spent playing video games is a little bit like bragging about your championship fantasy team.

I’m putting it in the MAYBE INTERESTING category until we can clear up what type of cereal.

Traffic is hell but I’m trying to think optimistically here.

... but I’ve also written hundreds of hours worth of deadline ledes and 90 percent of them were garbage

How dare you talk to Susan like that.

I was one of those interns once and I absolutely know that I did not produce 50,000 minutes worth of interesting content.

Y’all ain’t special.

I am not going into further details here — obviously, we’re talking about the Michael Jackson song, duh — because SB Nation is a proud family establishment and I don’t want my dad, Ryan Nanni, getting mad at me. But there were a lot of responses to this effect, which is a good reminder that Twitter is filled with bored adolescents.

Jason, thank you for realizing. You’re doing my job for me!

Compared to Nowitzki, anyway.
