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

    Anything over a couple million probably. People can comprehend the largest amount with money (instead of apples for example). The fact that most people don’t realize how big of a difference a billion is to a million shows that the average person can really comprehend only up to maybe 7 or 8 digits.
