Is anyone else obsessed with bells? I fucking love bells. Genuinely my favorite thing in the world is finding big bells and sitting somewhere near them while they're struck. I really want to explore this interest more some day, like if I get hella rich I'm gonna have some fucknormous bell forged. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqpHuloKZs

My desk at work is a 15 minute walk to a carillon.

TIL the largest bell ever made, weighing about three hundred tonnes, was lost because four hundred years ago, some Portuguese guy stole it and then dropped it in a river:

As far as anyone knows, it's still at the bottom of the river!

I kinda like bells but this first sample (from the posted link) would drive me nuts. If this woke me up my whole day would be ruined.
