A new sonic weapon was unveiled in Serbia against protestors.
So, the problem is that it is going to be a new “non-lethal” weapon. Non-lethal weapons have the problem of making people at home feel okay about it while causing severe problems to people it’s used on.
Sonic weapons and stun grenades absolutely fucking deafen you and pierce your eardrums. Rubber bullets will still break bones, and can **totally** kill you, they’re just less likely to kill you. Tear gas causes severe respiratory distress.
As a guy whose seen stun grenades used, I’d kinda prefer if they just fired over protestors’ heads or something. My ears haven’t stopped ringing since I was 13. I can’t sleep without a cocktail of medicine.
Sonic weapons, as far as I know, can’t be defended against deafening you by wearing earpro. The equivalent amount of sound is multiple .45 ACP rounds going off ***inside of you,*** radiating throughout your body.
Holy shit we are so cooked
This is what decades of gutting the education system does
Motherfuckers think earmuffs are gonna do Jack shit against substantial sonic weapons
This isn’t the subwoofer at a rave or the 12’s in your buddies civic
This is hitting you with massive amounts of energy in the form of a powerful wave that can transmit through your body.
Decibels are a logarithmic scale, not linear, so every ten decibels you increase, the sound is twice as loud
A rave is usually around 100-120 decibels (which is still fairly high above the “safe” limit of around 85 decibels where anything higher for prolonged time can cause permanent irreversible hearing damage
The weapons they used on peaceful protestors in Serbia can output at the 160 decibel level
That is 6x louder than a rave due to the base 10 logarithmic nature of decibels.
“Earmuffs are selling out” bro the earmuffs won’t do Jack shit, this sound wave will travel through your skins and bones instead of and still won’t get dampened nearly enough to save your hearing
I’m Serbian, from the US, and I can confirm that this is not the first time Serbians used weapons on a peaceful crowd.
You sure they don’t have microwave wespons?
If you stop allowing public demonstrations to express political concerns, the citizens may move on to something else.
I don’t know what, but when millions of people are each trying to think of something new, occasionally something happens that is much worse than a public protest.
People always wonder why protests are violent, this is why, when have you ever seen a peaceful protest work, now they’re shooting sonic weapons at the Peaceful protesters
[Here’s a video of it through a POV of the people affected. Turn on sound](https://www.reddit.com/r/serbia/s/zxk5v6LOc3)
The Serbian government used a sonic weapon on a crowd in Belgrade peacefully protesting against their shitty leader.
The chaos emeralds?
Sonic or subsonic? Thought it was sub sonic..
“Don’t be Shocked by the tone of my voice. Just got a new weapon: weapon of choice.”
So, we have arrived at a class of weapons perhaps inspired by the strange sound weapon in the 1984 film adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel *Dune*. At the end of that film, protagonist Paul Atreides introduces a sound weapon to the Fremen that can kill or wound by amplifying your voice. This was not in the books* at all, and referred to in the film as “the weirding way”.
Fatboy Slim was clearly inspired by this when he wrote the lyrics to his song “Weapon of Choice” which also includes the phrase: “walk without rhythm, and you won’t attract the worm” – a clear reference to the Fremen way of traveling safely across the dunes of Arrakis in a manner that will not attract the great and terrifying Sandworms.
Anyway. Looks like governments are now using an as-yet non-lethal version of the Weirding Way against protestors in Serbia.
EDIT: *not in the first book.
I still don’t get the joke even knowing what happened in Serbia
I was there. It was to say at least not good.
Non letal mean it can be used without kiling the target. If the vegetable in the red puddle breath. That’s good engout. As noo lethal wearpon sound nicer on tv to be used on civilian. Meanwhile the victime of non letal wearpon are generaly defigured for life if they are lucky engout no yo be reduved to a barely breathing vegetable
this explains it well [Energy weapon likely used against Serbian 🇷🇸 protestors](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zFnZJi4ebZs)
The crowds are peaceful too, the government likes to toss in bad actors to rile them up or cause a commotion
You know how you can still die from underwater explosions from the shockwaves sent through you? It makes your lungs start bleeding and all that jazz and basically turns you into an internal smoothie?
Well, few things you should know.
1.) Air reacts like a liquid when it comes to waves. The molecules are just more spread out.
2.) Sound is a form of pressure wave, just like what the underwater explosions made.
2.) You can still be turned into a liquid from said pressure waves, no matter the medium of travel!
So yeah, Serbian citizens had a massive *pressure wave* blasted at them in an effort to turn them into Gushers. Cause protests.
Well if I had to guess, I think someone used a sonic weapon on a peaceful crowd in Serbia
The Serbian government led by Aleksandar “Egg Man” Vucic by unleashed metal sonic against the protesters
they used a sonic weapon
They also have microwave cannons. Makes your skin feel on fire.
The future is great.
And durring a moment of silence, no less!
The subsonic weapon can damage organs directly. There is no need for your ears to “hear” since it”s “sub”sonic.
How disrespectful. They are observing 15 minutes of silence, and they use t a loud ass aound based weapon.
Everyone needs a copy of a certain “cookbook ” these days….
I’m fucking tired of being peaceful. These governments all across the world are gonna keep creeping up on us and infringing on our rights. We are ruled by really fucking evil people and if you don’t see this already you are stupid as fuck. PEACEFUL PROTESTS ARENT GONNA FUCKING DO ANYTHING. blood must be spilled
Some of you people clearly didn’t watch the Naruto [Chunin Exams](https://youtu.be/DDjuiEjyla8?si=Re76xN6F4_ZQWCtO), or else you’d know that plugging year ears does nothing to protect against a strong sonic attack, not when all the water in your body can still resonate with sound waves.
Do you not have Google? If you type in the words in the meme they show up. The internet gives you an answer.

Maybe something like the sonic equivalent of retroreflectors to bounce it back to the source?
Normally, I’m firmly in the camp of “people don’t have the same knowledge you do”, but damn dude, this sub isn’t here to read the news for you. Except it apparently really is. Good job question mark. Inb4 locked
Yeah yeah I saw the trailer for this year’s US summer blockbuster, and I’m not a fan actually.
I think it’s joever
Havana Syndrome has entered the chat
They’re lying, it’s just Havana syndrome. They’re all schizophrenic.
my slow ass was like “did they unleash the chaos emeralds”
Insanity.
