I cannot understand how there are “larger infinities than others” no matter how hard I try.

I have watched many videos on YouTube about it from people like vsauce, veratasium and others and even my math tutor a few years ago but still don’t understand.

Infinity is just infinity it doesn’t end so how can there be larger than that.

It’s like saying there are 4s greater than 4 which I don’t know what that means. If they both equal and are four how is one four larger.

How many water molecules are there in a lake? God knows. Infinite, right? Okay cool, how many water molecules are there in two lakes? It’s still infinite but it’s more. How about the ocean?
