Freddie Freeman comes up to bat

Literally three seconds later...

WHO. FREAKING. CALLED IT?!

They should just name the highlight film "Five Nights at Freddie's", especially from the Yankees' perspective! (Even more perfect since at this point the Yankees would be lucky to survive more than five nights.)

Sorry, I had to 🤣

Death Whistles and Happy Halloween! 🎃

Happy Halloween and a lesson in turbulence!

A "Death Whistle" is an Aztec instrument which gives off an eerie high-pitch scream, that is even more unsettling in person

Give it a listen!

This screech might only represent one type of this instrument since some of the original whistles excavated typically produce a softer whistle that is said to sound like the wind

This "wind" instrument was originally excavated in a template for Ehecatl, an Aztec and Mesoamerican wind god from the hands of a skeleton!

The only known ancient death whistles with archaeological context were published by Salvador Guilliem Arroyo in 1999. They were recovered from the hands of the skeleton of a sacrificed 20-year-old man that was found buried in front of the Ehecatl (wind) temple of Tlatelolco

This fascinating instrument works as a result of turbulence!

The whistle is made up of two hole, a smaller and a larger hole with a substructure in the middle with an entrance but no exit hole

First, air is blown into the smaller hole

But, instead of easily passing through the hole to the larger exit hole, air enters a substructure in line with the entrance in the middle of the instrument. The air becomes trapped in the middle structure

Trapped in the middle of the whistle, the air will be pushed back and out of the structure, against the flow of the air entering the structure

When the air entering the whistle collides with the air attempting to escape from the substructure it produces a chaotic turbulence, creating the SCREECH as it exits the larger hole on the other side of the whistle

Learn more from this excellent breakdown (where these diagrams originate from):

Death Whistles come in many shapes, but they all work on the same general principle with a larger and smaller opening so that air entering creates chaotic turbulence

Here is another nice diagram (r/pottery via szubka)

You don't even need clay! The principles of chaotic turbulence work on even simpler instruments. This creator makes death whistles from pipes:

On my third death whistle iteration. The first one was just a loud whistle

The second one was a quiet but happy sound. This one sounds promising so far. Thinking polymer clay might be better for this than stone-based clay.

Hear-hear me out just hear me out…

He does the f-king whistle before he comes out of the pool.

Quick Dp x Dc thingy.

We need more unhinged Danny. I don't mean silly unhinged, i mean terrifying, reaper like, Danny.

Imagine Danny but based on Death from Puss in Boots.

I can imagine this is a Danny that was pushed too far, not far enough to be Dan, but far enough to abandon a lot of his loved ones (not Jazz and Dani), and become more of an anti hero.

He can eventually encounter anyone from the dc universe. I personally like the idea of the Bats realising there is something going on at the Lazerous and then when they get there Danny emerges from the pit. He's there to pick up a soul, and that soul is Ras. Just murks that man with little to no effort scaring everyone.

Showing my best friend who's had to listen to two years of pirate brainrot pictures of the #OurFlagMeansDeath crew and getting her first impression thoughts and observations: a thread. 🧵 of 9 ⬇️

First up:

"I know that one, you've shown me your weird porn of him. He's got a new coat, and he's really happy about it but the guy behind him is like 'ahhh the label's still on it.'

'Oh it's Leslie Jones. Pretty much, that's just Leslie Jones looking great. She just turned up on set and they were like 'wow you look sick af' and then she was in it because she looked so fly. No one cast her, the camera just turned on.'

'OK, so someone's just told him 'I don't like this lasagne you made' and he's like 'it's my mother's recipe, how dare you! My nonna's spaghetti! She gone be so upsetti!'

'OK so this guy just turned up in one of those fast fashion shops for tweens and was like 'oh, finally, belly shirts are really in right now.''

Me: What do you think his name is?

Her, *whispered*: ...Fernando.

'This guy just fell over. It's really unfortunate. He's just really clumsy. Someone left something out on deck and he went 'whoopsie doodle!''

Me: you're actually pretty close to the truth.

Her, guessing wildly: 'oh boy, what a day to be... captain... smiggs?'

'Taylor.'

Me: just Taylor?

'Taylor... Swifts. Undercover. She wants to be on a boat now. She loves boats. Nautical-core. I don't know, I just looked at her and at first, tailor of suits, but then nope - Taylor of songs.'

'Oh this guy's a mime.'

Me: what do you think his role in the crew is?

Her: just a shit mime. He's just here so when they play charades he just wipes the floor with the rest of the crew.

'Someone's just gone in the bathroom, he was like 'urgh I really needed to go' and now he's sad. He's sad because he needed a shit. He's wondering whether to just go in the sea.

Me: where else would it go?

Her: like in a corner. I know how ships work, I've been on a cruise.

'Have you seen Ratatouille? It's like that, the seagull is controlling that guy. He makes the foodfor the ship, but all the food's just raw regurgitated fish, like a fucked up sushi bar.'

And, scene.

personally i understand why shen qingqiu immediately and without hesitation jumped at the chance to fight airplane. shizun needed a chew toy! his gums were itchy!

[letsplaythermalnuclearwar]

I mean, I appreciate the aesthetic of a dog-shaped god of death being defeated with a the sci-fi equivalent of a leash and a dog whistle, but I also appreciate it when I understand the sci-fi equivalent of a leash and a dog whistle

The Aztec Death Whistle ‘The Most Terrifying Sound in the World’

For those who want to celebrate Halloween like it’s 1399: Scientists are sending shivers down the internet’s collective spine by recreating an ancient “Aztec Death Whistle” that’s said to emit the “most terrifying sound in the world.”

The macabre kazoo is detailed in a new video produced by the Action Lab, a group of proud internet nerds who specialize in mind-bending experiments.

“The sound that the death whistle makes innately strikes fear into your heart,” intones presenter James J. Orgill in the clip while holding a 3D-printed version of the instrument.

The Brigham Young University engineering grad then plays an audio clip of the scream machine, which evokes a bloodcurdling, bansheelike shriek resembling a sound effect from a haunted house attraction. (We dare you not to jump!)

Orgill points out that this is not a “human scream” but rather the sound emitted by the replica of a skull-shaped artifact originally discovered in Mexico City in 1999 by archaeologists.

It was reportedly found clutched in the hand of a headless skeleton in a temple dedicated to the wind god Ehecatl — one of many sites where the Aztecs conducted human sacrifices.

Initially thinking it was a toy, per Orgill, scientists didn’t blow into it until 15 years later, whereupon it emitted a terrifying sound.

“‘It was a startling discovery because it sounded like a screaming human,” said the burgeoning YouTube star, who dubbed it the “most terrifying sound in the world.”

The Aztecs were able to create this nightmarish noise by modeling the death whistle after the human larynx.

When the user blows into the instrument, the wind divides in two, producing oscillating sound waves that bounce around a large chamber before leaving via a second hole.

While the purpose of the instrument remains unclear, experts have several theories, with some believing this fright flute was used to scare enemies in battle.

Others postulate that the whistle was a defense talisman used to ward off evil spirits during a sacrificial victim’s journey to the afterlife.

In order to resurrect this symphony of screams for our listening “pleasure,” Orgill blew into different Tim Burton-esque whistles that were 3D-printed by US tech firm HeyGears.

All told, they made the raptor larynx from “Jurassic Park” sound like a kazoo.

No 3D printer, no problem: Interested parties can buy their death whistles on Amazon, which offers duplicates made of materials ranging from resin to carbon fiber.

Many advertise how closely their decibels match that of the most bone-chilling human screams.
