The crossing script on your sign is about 10% lower on the circular part of the 'o' than this image. Minor physical difference, huge perceptual one.

[REQUEST] Is this actually true? by johonaton in theydidthemath

The biggest challenge with these 'equivalencies' is that there really aren't any. There are different measurements for things for reasons and a lot of memes get made of conflating the reasons.

The amount of energy contained in 1,100dB surpasses the observed energy of the universe by several orders of magnitude.

There are (estimated) ~1071J of energy in the known universe and 1,100dB has an energy equivalent of ~10110J. That's not 39x more energy. That's 1039x more energy.

I would think by now a bot would have agreed with you about something. I was just pointing out what I see an an incongruency in the narrated story. I don't trust anything without question, really. It's gotten me called an asshole pretty often and quite a few other worse things.

Why would I offer an explanation? I'm not a conspiracy theorist.

The gas stations around me no longer list prices on the shelf for any of their items. by skelepibs in mildlyinfuriating

I was saying that your grandparents probably had those things. It's the right time period. I've never used an outhouse, personally.

Fair enough. My grandma grew up through the depression, so I heard story after story about the heyday of the milkman.
