Should be listed as 9001. That way IT'S OVER 9000!!!
Take me back...
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.
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.

Lemme raise you a challenger: microwave beeping at 3am.
There's a way to turn off the beep entirely on most microwaves. I don't remember which button it is and I'm not going to look it up right now.
I turned it off on my microwave and one of my roommates promptly turned it back on. D:

O.M.G. You have forever changed my life.

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.
Didn't they change the bag material recently to be quieter? I vaguely remember seeing something about that in the news.
Yeah they stopped using the more environmentally friendly bags and switched back to what they used before thanks to people complaining so much.
I thought it was because someone tested that bag and found out it wasn’t biodegradable?

9000 decibels would rip the fabric of the Earth apart, the loudest sound ever reported was 172 dB.
So, this meme is accurate.
Never thought about that, it really does sound like a disaster just happened

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
F/a-18 taking off from a carrier, here's the original 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.
this meme image has been around far longer than AI image generation, no need to be paranoid about A.I
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
