Punch cards ftw

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Let's say that we have a more recent micro SD card of 1 TB. So to contain the same information in a punch card (with a byte density of 80 byte/156 cm² = 0.512 byte/cm²), we would need a card of 512,820,512,820 cm². If I'm not mistaken that would be a punch card the size of 51 km²!! This is wild :O
For the Americans, this is more than one football field and less than Texas
For the entomologists, this is approximately 2.6 trillion ants
How many peach trees could you plant on 51km^2^
At least 2
