Well, now we know exactly which cars were on board, among them [**21 Lamborghinis**](https://www.importinfo.com/search/manifests?imo=9293911&arrival_date=2022-04-01&port=5301), 25 Bentleys, 150 Audis, and a single Kia Soul — the subject of the greatest car [commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjW2teW1mgE) in history. ![Digits: Sunken lambos, taxes, bad dates, and more](https://hs-sbup.thehustle.co/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Hustle%20News/Assets/Images/1847368072-HS-News-Brief_2022-04-11T020303.180Z.webp?width=595&height=400&name=1847368072-HS-News-Brief_2022-04-11T020303.180Z.webp) **2)** By law, most Americans making less than $73k a year should be able to file taxes for free, but, in 2019, [**only 2.4% of those eligible**](https://www.propublica.org/article/turbotax-and-others-charged-at-least-14-million-americans-for-tax-prep-that-should-have-been-free-audit-finds) did so. In context, that means 14m+ people ended up paying tax software companies ~$1B they didn’t have to. The FTC is now working to [remedy](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/03/ftc-sues-intuit-its-deceptive-turbotax-free-filing-campaign) this problem. How kind. **3) **A new Pew report found [**63% of single Americans**](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/04/06/most-americans-who-are-single-and-looking-say-dating-has-been-harder-during-the-pandemic/) find it harder to date today than pre-pandemic. The odd part is that 3% of respondents said dating today is easier. To the 3%, who are you, and what do you know? **4) **WhatsApp now says users send [**7B voice messages**](https://blog.whatsapp.com/making-voice-messages-better) daily. For reference, as of 2020, WhatsApp users were sending [**~100B**](https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/29/whatsapp-is-now-delivering-roughly-100-billion-messages-a-day/) text messages daily. Now the team is rolling out new features, like Out of Chat Playback and Waveform Visualization. **5) **If you stacked every iPhone ever sold — approximately 2.8B phones — from end to end, you’ll find yourself with a stack of iPhones [**243.1k miles long**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXFAyKe6W8), further away than the moon. Thankfully, if you ever need to come back, stacking every iPad ever sold will get you ⅓ the way there.
