Amplitude.
Never thought about that, it really does sound like a disaster just happened
My old wooden stairs as I try to sneak above in the middle of the night.
Accidentally slamming the toilet lid shut in the middle of the night
Should be listed as 9001. That way IT’S OVER 9000!!!
Take me back…
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?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

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.
What?! 9000!?!
Shampoo bottle falling in the shower while your toddler is trying to sleep directly on the other side of the wall. Might as well be an earthquake.
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.
What’s up with those weird AI images? That doesn’t look like a normal takeoff to me.
Edit: What I saw in the image
To be fair there is so much JPEG compression on the image, you can’t see much of anything.
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.
Jet taking off with catapult system on an aircraft carrier, the CATOBAR system is steam powered if I’m not mistaken.
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.
We’re looking at a rear view of a fighter with a V tail…
Dayum that’s a thiccc booty
The jets? That’s the only orange.
You’re probably being sarcastic
I don’t think I’m seeing what you’re seeing in that image.
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.
this meme image has been around far longer than AI image generation, no need to be paranoid about A.I
Yeah, apparently I was just paranoid about it :/

F/a-18 taking off from a carrier, here’s the original image…
9000 decibels would rip the fabric of the Earth apart, the loudest sound ever reported was 172 dB.
So, this meme is accurate.
Worse, a metal tray that falls out of the refrigerator at 3 in the morning.
Scrolling through this meme was weirdly timed, because the shampoo bottle I left too near to the edge just fell off in my bathroom.
Someone knocking on the bathroom door:
Everything alright in there??
And this gives you a scale on which you can’t even compare opening a plastic bottle of water in the night
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?
