55.4 Yottabyte Zip Bomb

i've made a zip bomb that unextracts to the teeny tiny size of 55.4 YOTTABYTES. for context, a zettabyte is 0.001 of a yottabyte and as of 2016, internet traffic is 1.1 zettabytes per year. funny.zip

A Discord-style message claims that a tiny ZIP file expands into 55.4 yottabytes, vastly exceeding annual internet traffic. The joke is the absurd scale of the fictional zip bomb and the understatement of calling it “teeny tiny.” It is used as a reaction to exaggerated file sizes, impossible technical claims, or chaotic computer humor.
