Unfortunately, it also partially remembers the first verse, and the chorus of Spoonman, but that shit has been stuck in its head for a couple billion years now…

Massive, compact astronomical object: “AND WASH AWAY THE RAAAAAAAAAAINNN…”

Fun fact: you may actually hear a black-hole spin if you’re close enough. It’s possible for gravitational waves to reach the same amplitude as sound waves, which would probably cause your eardrum to activate as space contracts and expands past it, so you would “hear” something, but we don’t really know what it would sound like, likely a hum or high-pitched thrumming.

Blackhole: “Hey… You wanna hear the most annoying sound in the universe? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Good for it. Those are both fantastic songs.
Even 30 years later, Black Hole Sun blows my mind. Chris Cornell’s voice walks this impossible line between sounding so full of emotion that it’s about to burst, and sounding somehow soothing and precise.
That’s not even a line that exists to walk; he creates a line that cannot logically exist, just so his voice can walk it.

Chris was one of a kind. Limo Wreck really showed his range, and is one of my favourites.

Quran 17:44
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًۭا
“The seven heavens, the earth, and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify His praises—but you cannot comprehend their glorification. He is indeed Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.”

Quran 4:24
حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اُمَّهٰتُكُمۡ وَبَنٰتُكُمۡ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمۡ وَعَمّٰتُكُمۡ وَخٰلٰتُكُمۡ وَبَنٰتُ الۡاٰخِ وَبَنٰتُ الۡاُخۡتِ وَاُمَّهٰتُكُمُ الّٰتِىۡۤ اَرۡضَعۡنَكُمۡ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمۡ مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَ اُمَّهٰتُ نِسَآئِكُمۡ وَرَبَآـئِبُكُمُ الّٰتِىۡ فِىۡ حُجُوۡرِكُمۡ مِّنۡ نِّسَآئِكُمُ الّٰتِىۡ دَخَلۡتُمۡ بِهِنَّ فَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا دَخَلۡتُمۡ بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَحَلَاۤـئِلُ اَبۡنَآئِكُمُ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ اَصۡلَابِكُمۡۙ وَاَنۡ تَجۡمَعُوۡا بَيۡنَ الۡاُخۡتَيۡنِ اِلَّا مَا قَدۡ سَلَفَؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوۡرًا رَّحِيۡمًا ۙ
“Also ˹forbidden are˺ married women—except ˹female˺ captives in your possession. This is Allah’s commandment to you. Lawful to you are all beyond these—as long as you seek them with your wealth in a legal marriage, not in fornication. Give those you have consummated marriage with their due dowries. It is permissible to be mutually gracious regarding the set dowry. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”
Summary: rape is fine so long as you enslave the victim first.
…I liked my Lord of the Rings quote better, but that was removed. I guess off-topic fiction is only allowed if it’s religious. Allahu akbar.

Alternate reading: stop running about and breaking the hearts of the unmarried freewomen, if you’re shagging her, do it properly and above board.
Medieval era was, alas, pretty poor on women’s rights and slavery was taken for granted. I don’t think you’ll find any slavery where rape was in practice forbidden.

That a sexual relationship is permissable as opposed to being prohibited, like adultery or fornication, does not equate to rape. Neither is adultery rape if both parties consent, yet it is prohibited under islamic and other abrahamic religions.
Those are necessary requirements not sufficient requirements. You know, like how a driving licencse is a necesaary requirement for driving, but it does not allow you to drive if your car has no lights and you are under the influence, as these are also necessary requirements.

I am sorry that people reacted so poorly to this. I thought it was beautiful. It is still bothering me, after seeing the reports made on this.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
it’s the internet, and this is a post about blackholes and a bird being recorded. This is a tad bit out of place for what it is, not surprised people downvoted it, probably because they thought it was irrelevant, oh well, that’s the internet, sometimes people like what you have to say, other times they don’t. Don’t think about it too hard, at the end of the day it’s just internet karma.

Once I sat in a field listening to Victor Wooten and whistling along with him. On a fence nearby was I think a brushed shouldered blackbird? Brushed shouldered something. It started singing with me and doing a little dance. Eventually it even started syncopating its part. Like, you could see it waiting for the timing to be just right for each note. On key and everything. Went on for about half an hour.
Birds are cool.

My favourite bird song fact is that parrots (even small ones like budgies) can associate particular sound sequences with specific members of their flocks, including themselves. They can also introduce themselves to each other with those sequences.
If you happen to own a parrot, it most likely has a name in its own language and has told it to you. And it also gave you a name.

This is what AI should be for, finding the patterns and deciphering
Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
AI has been and continues to be used for these sorts of things. Generative AI like LLMs and image generators might be getting all the media attention and attract the techbros at the moment, but they are fundamentally inappropriate for this purpose.

They’ve so far used AI to detect all the different parts of a particular whale species’ language, like the different sounds and timing. Deciphering the meaning will be much harder since it’s difficult to observe their behavior, but small land mammals should go much smoother.

There’s a fun open source app called WhoBIRD that identifies birds by their calls in real time!
It’s actually really impressive and a lot of fun identifying the local birds. This is a use of learning models I can totally get behind. :D

thats what a lot of AI is used for, just in different fields.
