An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Now, this technology is new to me, but I believe that's Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly. His body temperature has risen to 400 degrees. He's literally stewing in his own juices!

None of these cameras measure things in Kelvin, the only temperature scale that matters. Disappointing.

[–] LaminatedDenim@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They do actually, it's just that they convert it to Celsius right before displaying the value on the screen

It doesn't count if you can't see it!

Kelvin is the only legitimate way to measure temperature. Everything else is trivia. Duh.

Edit: I don't have time for your downvotes. It's 277 degrees outside and I don't have a clean sweater.

If you have a pet that isnt allowed on the bed but you know she gets on it when you are not there, now you have the tools to get that proof. >=)

Look at IR reflections on matte steel surfaces - you'll probably find that the longer wavelengths get reflected quite well on a surface that is matte in visible light.

About 70% of your pizza is 70° hot!

I found an uninsulated stud space in my friend's house using one of these. He couldn't figure out why the room was always cold, they are neat

I’ve seen FLIR thermal cam attachments for your phone not but a phone itself. Is that what you mean?

[–] LaminatedDenim@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, it's a CAT s62 phone with built in FLIR

I want a phone with a thermal imager but I'm worried it would be a shit phone if I did because it'll be a 10 year old industrial affair

Coolest thing to look at is running tap water, switch from hot to cold
