Even if you reduce it down to /48 subnets you have 281,474,976,710,656 of these, ~65k times more than the entire IPv4 space, your usual assignment to a machine is a /64 which are about 4.2 billion times the amount of the IPv4 address space, about 18 quintillion.

Thats enough addresses to give every one of the 8 billion humans on this planet, two billion /64 subnets. Which I'd say should be enough for the moment.

Last week I was thinking about a system to automatically cut my hair the way I exactly want (precision up to the millimeter and per hair). So, one way would be by using cheap microrobots*. The

On average we have around 100K hairs on our heads. Let’s say you buy 100K microrobots to cut your hair. Each of these microrobots could have their own ipv6 (because, why not) so that you can control them via your phone. So, suddenly you have there one person using 100K ipv6 addresses.

So, whenever people say “ipv6 should be enough for now”, I always think “well, it depends on how they are used!”

If every person in the world simultaneously had 100,000 IPv6 addresses, that would represent a tiny, trivial fraction of the available space.
