Decibel scale descriptions should stop discriminating people with oversensitive hearing. They always stop at zero decibels as if we and the whole world we experience don't even exist, so let's start from 0 decibels being the loudest and go down from there.

0 db: dying insects crying for help.
-10 db (10X): your blood rushing like a river and bones creaking like an old wooden ship.
-20 db (100X): bat vision and you can hear people whispering about you hundreds of meters away. (adult with oversensitive hearing)
-30 db (1000X): spiderman hearing, but voices through walls are still muffled from diffusion so you can only hear the base. (Stan Lee got it wrong)
-40 db (10000X): you identify people based on their heartbeats and can detect inanimate objects from the 1% absence of ambient sound they are blocking, so you are impossible to hide from. (4 year old with oversensitive hearing)
-50 db (100000X): deep meditation slowing down your heart rate needed to hear past your own blood.

That bat vision thing, even normies have a similar thing, hyper vigilance, survival awareness, paranoia, etc from war time conditions can enable people to develop this awareness level, also, old old timey farmers, they have this miraculous ability (at least in my country, but I presume elsewhere too) they are known to talk under their own breaths but still be heard by a farmer a couple of fields away. Not sure if there many left with this ability though. I guess if you're coming from multiple generations of farming, growing up as a child in those condition its probably more likely as it had a day to day benefit and you would have to learn how to hear parents etc from fields away.

If you hold an empty PET water bottle with your fingers along its neck, you can sense infra sounds from far away with your fingers. A morse code of infra tones can then be used to communicate like whales over large distances. After some time, the brain's plasticity will reinterpret the signals into other representations that are easier to process.

Germany condemns Iranian attacks

Germany condemns Iran's attack "in the strongest possible terms" and warns Tehran it is risking all-out regional war, a spokesman for Chancellor Olaf Scholz says.
"With this irresponsible and unjustifiable attack, Iran is risking a regional conflagration. Germany stands closely by Israel's side," the spokesman said.

If Iran waste all their missiles and drones on futile attempts against the iron dome, there will be less for Russia to attack civilians in Ukraine where it is much harder to protect a larger area. This also means that Iran can no longer hide by claiming not to be directly involved in a conflics.
I often wonder what the history books will say about this era, fast forward 200+ years and grab a history book and see what it says, i can only imagine what people will think.

Just like our generations asked why Hitler was allowed to commit genocide, future children will be asking teachers why nobody stopped the fossil fuel extraction from killing millions of people while the world was already suffering the consequences.

Asked ChatGPT what it thought about Meta's new investment. "Mark Zuckerberg's investment of $9 billion in graphics cards could yield exceptional gaming graphics. With that budget, he could purchase a significant number of high-end GPUs, which could deliver excellent performance in high-definition gaming. The exact number of graphics cards and their performance would depend on factors such as the specific models chosen and any bulk discounts negotiated. However, with such a substantial investment, Zuckerberg could likely build a powerful gaming setup capable of running the latest games at high settings and resolutions."

A $100b plus and over a decade of intense research into modern AI, and well, this is what we get...

(Somehow the lyrics seem oddly appropriate for AI...)

We have faucets for water, but why are there no faucets for tasteless gray goo with all nutrients? Would save so many trips to the food store.

Who needs faucets when McDonald's, Burger King and the like, make it into burgers
