In case anyone else is curious, the essay is simply titled "On Noise."

I'm not autistic, nor have I ever gravely injured someone through my own action (or inaction) that I know of, but I will tell you this: I don't understand how these attention-starved children driving these rice burners with their goddamn POW POW UNF POW exhaust systems (and you fuckers know what I'm talking about) are allowed to exist.

I am not a violent person, but I would read their obituaries with great satisfaction.

But how else will they tell everyone that they're big and tough?

I can't get over how DSG exhaust sound like farts.

Its completely unnecessary too.

I wouldn’t push a woman down the stairs, but I could see myself writing an essay on why only dumb people can tolerate loud noises and that being loud should be made illegal.

can confirm, am dumbasses, like loud noisy music

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 minutes ago

loud noisy music actually doesn't bother me as much as say, quiet, crinkly plastic being wrapped/unwrapped.

being loud should be made illegal

Joke is that it did. Now Germany has its Nachtruhe

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I’m an immigrant in Germany and my boss (from here) recently asked me if it was a jerk move to do laundry on a Sunday if she checked with her neighbors first.

It made me realize I’ve been such an unintentional asshole. I’ve been avoiding things like carpentry and band practice, not laundry. There’s a guy on my street who mows the lawn before nine in the morning on Sundays though, so I’m not the worst in my neighborhood.

These people are the worst

Excessive noise is bad, violence is worse. Moral licensing for escalating is a hell of a drug.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

violence is fine, just has to precise and for the right purpose

Same with noise lol

Contrast Charles Babbage, who was actively harassed by deliberately shitty street musicians, whose business model was to be paid to fuck off.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 14 points 8 hours ago
