    You forgot the sound of a Sunchips bag. My not even conceived children are going to be deaf because I opened one back in the 90s.

    Scrolling through this meme was weirdly timed, because the shampoo bottle I left too near to the edge just fell off in my bathroom.

    What’s up with those weird AI images? That doesn’t look like a normal takeoff to me.

        Yes, the compression is bad, but you can’t tell me that the plane isn’t literally exploding right now. Also the vacuum cleaner looks off, but on second glance maybe it’s fine? I’m not sure.

          this meme image has been around far longer than AI image generation, no need to be paranoid about A.I

            I’ve watched a CATOBAR video to see what you’re talking about (interesting stuff btw), but isn’t that unrelated? In this image there is no aircraft carrier, the wings are angled 45° upwards, and there are weird orange spots on the hull.

                  I’m pretty sure it’s and f-14 launching off of a carrier, but the image is zoomed in so you only see a tiny portion of the deck obscured by the smoke. The orange glow is the jets on the back, and it’s taken at an angle which makes the tail fins stick out weirdly.

      I’m generally great at traversing my house quietly, unless my fiance or child are asleep, and then I’m a fucking cave beast making as much noise as humanly possible, seemingly.

    I hate decibels. Such needless confusion over whether they’re an absolute or relative scale, what the reference volume is, what the underlying SI units are. Are these all measured at a uniform distance? Why would you take a shower at the library?

      I imagine the measurement is something like “perception of sound to the human ear”. A rock concert is generally very loud and whether you’re 5 feet back or 30 feet back from the stage won’t make a huge difference

        A rock concert emanating from a point will sound considerably louder at 5 feet vs 30 feet and will make just as much of a difference as 50 feet vs 300.

        Of course, accoustics in a concert hall are designed to minimize this difference. Doesn’t explain jet fighters though.

    Are you rustling a single leaf, for it to be less than a library?
    Or does the library have a windy exterior full of trees with rustling leaves, for it to be at 40?

    And this gives you a scale on which you can’t even compare opening a plastic bottle of water in the night
