The Babylon Time Threshold is a mesure of Clown World Acceleration.

It's the lenght of time needed for a Babylon Bee article to become non-parodic. Either because the parodic event happened, or the opinion is published unironically by mainstream media, or becomes the new accepted ''expert'' position of Academia.

When the Babylon Time Threshold approaches to mere days, a permanent background circus music will be heard, at which point the threshold can only come closer and the music louder.

Once the threshold closes to hours, eardrums tear and ears start bleeding. Being an asymptotic function, when the threshold nears zero, circus music shoots for infinite decibels and the univers rips into non-existence.
