Turn up the heat
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I agree when it comes to weather as well. 100 is too hot to be outside and 0 is way too cold to be outside. You don't have to have decimal places on thermostats
Fahrenheit measures how people feel, Celsius measures how water feels.
Kelvin measures how atoms feel.
Why do people "feel" 80, though
Because they are accustomed to Fahrenheit. I have no idea how hot/cold 80F is, apart from knowing it's colder than human body temperature, and hotter than inside temperature, but that's just from knowing those numbers in Fahrenheit, via the internet. I have no relation to them, it's like a foreign currency, know what I mean?
Oh, I know what you mean. I'm sick to death of this debate, haha.
I do think the things people say are funny, though.
80F is 26.66667C
