Earth is humming

Little known fact (i guess): Seismometers the world over have always been recording a strange \"hum\" from the earth. It's very high pitch, well beyond human hearing (unless you have superpowers, some of us do, shhh) frequency of 10 millihertz.


Just something to put that magic in your day.
everything is magical when i'm drinking, weee. enjoy.

ALSO FAIRYS!

Yay! Another little fact that I have now learned but will serve absolutely no purpose for me in later life!
It's just like school!

Roid...It's not too high of a pitch rather too low a pitch.

10 millihertz is equivalent to 0.01Hz which is well below the threshold for hearing. That is 1 wave every 100 seconds which is probably well below our range of feeling at the intensities involved.
