Tens of thousands?
DOZENS of thousands!
A billion is technically made of thousands
One billion, gagillion blazillion alarms go off per hour
Some timezones especially, US timezones, China is all one zone
And then there's me at 4:45am to 5:15am every 5 minutes
Mine goes off at 5:05. I'm still sleeping peacefully when the 5:00 Alarm Wave goes off.
Similarly, mine goes off at 06:25
Anyone who runs a Cron job on the cloud at the peak of the hour knows this all too well
Millions, even.
