    I was going to type something mean about her but I’m afraid she could sense I was rude on the internet and telepathically cause my skull to explode like a hard boiled egg in a microwave.

      TIL hard boiled eggs can explode in a microwave and that the explosion can be as loud as 133 decibels. For reference sake, a gunshot is about 155 decibels depending on caliber, so that’s one loud ass egg.

        That’s actually not a very good comparison since, decibels being a base 10 exponential scale, the loudness of 133 and 155 decibels are not at all comparative.

        A much better comparison is a 1984 Motörhead concert:

        Lemmy and co.’s set was allegedly measured at 130 decibels, before it was cut short as plaster from the ceiling started to rain down on the audience below.

        And that’s still MUCH less loud than a microwave eggsplosion!
