What it means

A cropped reference-style table lists symbols for kiloannus, megaannus, and gigaannus. The joke comes from applying metric prefixes to the Latin word for year, creating absurdly formal names for thousands, millions, and billions of years. It is shared as a nerdy reaction to extremely long periods of time.
