Bee numbers have crashed 60% between 2004 and today. Six. Tee. Per. Cent. When there is nothing left to pollinate our crops, blame the morons who thought regressively allowing harmful pesticides was the right thing to do.

Reply to ELI5: I understand that sound waves essentially stretch and disperse very quickly, but technically, aren’t the very tiny sound waves still there, thousands of miles away? by Strict_Alternative74
Inverse square law, double the distance, halve the volume of the sound. Eventually the kinetic energy of the sound, which is moving the particles of air, will have transferred all of its kinetic energy to its surroundings and it will then cease to exist as a sound.
