#earthquake alarm

[thistransient]

Shaken awake today by the largest earthquake I've ever experienced, things were falling off the shelves, I got up and blearily stood in a doorframe wondering if this was the end (obviously it was not). There have been a few aftershocks. I hope Hualien has not been flattened entirely.

Also. Thr hair shape!! Is very good!! ! Like how it's spikey but also flowy and like gummies a bit. Soft and stretchy but will revert back to that shape bc its like. Well established. I cannot explain this in human speak u have to accept the artist food metaphors

I especially like in ur y*j sketches the one with glasses and dark hair on top snd those piercings (I RLY have to read up on y*j lore I just need the mental preparation) like its just@!!! It looks so good!!!

I should put kwko doodles into the artbook tag because god knows they're the only decent attempts. Especially compared to. Cough. Everything else yeah

That would be Ume!! It always surprises me when people say they have to catch up on y*j because there's not that much content yet. Except then I look at the blog and. Oops not just little area convos anymore...

I wanted to raise some awareness about this topic because, even if you're not personally affected, it doesn't mean you have to downgrade other people's, mostly if it affects them.

So, in this short, this content creator is making a joke, on how it seems that gen z can't be awaken with any sound unless it's a social media notification from their phone. (Warning, if you consider to watch it, keep in mind that has many triggering sounds)

This shouldn't be harmful and it hasn't to go further from this joke. Only problem is that, considering this is an American person, I would've expected anything but one sound.

The video starts with a gunshot, then with a tornado alarm, and I personally don't react to these, as in my zone there's not such things as shooting attacks or tornados, but I wasn't expecting the Mexican Seismic Alarm to be played as well. This took me by surprise and even if I consciously knew it was the video I still felt my heart skip a beat.

Even some Mexicans use this sound for pranks, and the alarm may sound hilarious to people who firstly hear it. It sounds something like a "WOWOWOWOWOWOW." But believe me, living an experience as my own turns the alarm into a shot of adrenaline and a fight or flight response on my body.

For those who don't know, my country suffered a terrible earthquake back then in last century's September 19 of '85. Many buildings fell and several people died buried under them. My mom's generation is traumatized.

My generation didn't take it seriously until there was another one of similar magnitude, just exactly on the same date on 2017. A ridiculous coincidence, but even if the number of deceases were less than this earthquake's predecessor, the number was also huge.

So, if you're a content creator, please take into consideration that your experiences differ from others, and that, essentially, sound alarms should be taken seriously and considered trigger inducing for people that might've had experiences related to the threats these alarm sounds warn us off.

Stop taking them as a joke.

I know the white ppl r making jokes that japan will be the battlefield in ww3 but it’s not even funny china and north korea already ‘test’ their missiles by shooting at the seas surrounding japan like it happens all the time

[3gremlins]

living in california is weird b/c sometimes you'll just be going about your day and the whole house will SHAKE and you're like "well that was a bit alarming, was there an earthquake? *checks usgs site* oh yeah" and then go back to what you were doing like the whole earth didn't just MOVE 5 min ago

diabetes tech is so annoying sometimes like dont get me wrong i love my dexcom & my tslim and im very very thankful that i have them and i understand its a privilege to have access to advanced medical technology

but a lot of the built-in “safeguards” are really annoying and frankly unnecessary for most adults. why is my ability to make my own medical decisions being infringed upon by the manufacturers of the devices that are supposed to be assisting us in our care? why can’t i override or change certain settings if i acknowledge the risk associated with that choice?

i feel some joke cld be made here if i had the words for it but i dont so all i can say is My God I'm Absolutely Grievously Emotionally Ill This Month For Sure.

All these nights not being able to sleep is catching up on me

[psychologeek]

To be clear: I don't put "alarms (missiles) on other parts", bc that's the obvious. (Like, already happening).

Disclaimer: PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT AS IDEA .

I handle via humour. And it's easier to make funny bets on "what's next" then think about *looking at the news from last week* (or, well, NOT looking bc PTSD, but yeah).

Thanks.
