A man from Darwin, Northern Territory of Australia, Neville Sharp, decided to attempt the Guinness World Records title for the loudest burp after years of practicing. His voluminous burp was registered at 112.4 db, a sound level comparable to that made by an aircraft taking off, making him the new world record holder.
Sharp was taught how to burp at the age of six. His wife, KP, insisted he attempt the record to show off his talent. With the encouragement and coaching of his wife, Sharp spent the previous five years honing his skill. His attempt was carried out at a studio to ensure an accurate decibel reading, and his mighty belch was registered at a massive 112.4 db, which is enough to cause damage to people’s hearing.
Sharp has broken British man Paul Hunn’s longstanding record of 109.9 decibels from 12 years ago. The loudest burp by a female is 107.0 db, and was achieved by Elisa Cagnoni at a beer festival in Italy in 2009.

來自澳洲北領地達爾文的男子夏普，經過多年練習後，日前挑戰金氏世界紀錄最大打嗝聲，一舉打出一一二‧四分貝超大嗝聲，相當於飛機起降音量，成功打破金氏世界紀錄。
夏普六歲時學會大聲打嗝，他的妻子KP認為夏普應該嘗試打破世界紀錄，展示他獨特的才能，在太太的鼓勵及訓練下，花了五年時間準備這一刻，為了確保能準確錄下音量，他特地在錄音室進行挑戰，最後打出有紀錄以來最響亮的飽嗝，打嗝聲高達一一二‧四分貝，足以讓人聽力受損。

夏普打破原先英國人漢恩在十二年前的一○九‧九分貝紀錄，而女性紀錄則是由卡尼奧尼於二○○九年在義大利的一場啤酒節上締造，當時卡尼奧尼的打嗝音量是一○七分貝。

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
Travel fever is back, and it’s contagious. After years of being kept home during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are once again eager to explore the world. Rather than just book any trip, travelers are getting smarter about how they scratch that travel itch. Microcation Defined as four days or fewer and over 160km away from home, the microcation perfectly matches the post-pandemic mindset. After long periods of remaining indoors, people are making up for lost time by taking short, frequent getaways throughout the year. These brief trips avoid the work-life imbalance that comes with long absences. With only a few days away, one’s
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price

What other pop-up shops are there? B: They include stores themed around “Dragon Ball,” “Snoopy,” “Rilakkuma,” “One Piece,” “Jujutsu Kaisen,” “Frieren” and “Chiikawa X Sanrio.” A: Wow, I was just watching the second season of the live-action “One Piece.” We can visit the park during the Tomb-sweeping Day long weekend
