I knew that the eruption/explosion of Krakatoa was the loudest sound in recorded history, but I couldn’t quite grasp how loud until I got a couple details of perspective. This was in 1883.

The shock wave ruptured the eardrums of sailors 40 miles away.

The explosion was heard more than 3,000 miles away, and recorded all over the world.

It made tsunamis nearly 100 feet high.

Now picture this happening in modern times, with modern communications. Not only would there be uncountable videos and whatnot, but the timing is what really gets me. Imagine you’re going about your day, scrolling social media, and posts start pouring in about an apocalyptic volcano on the other side of the continent. The news are full of it. You spend ages glued to the screen; this isn’t remotely close to you, but it’s a big deal, and you know people who live closer to it.

Three hours later, something explodes outside. Propane tank? Car fire? Some jackass with illegal firecrackers?

Nope. That was the sound wave, finally reaching you.

I hate that the ao3 tag says "Elim Garak". I am not on a first name basis with that man. Frankly I don't think he is on a first name basis with himself

People here are funny. They work so hard at living they forget how to live.
