Most recently the complete lack of understanding of a wet bulb temperature comes to mind. In articles discussing this, people completely left out the "wet bulb" part, which they didn't understand, and went on to post comments about "65 DEGREES IS NOTHING, IT REGULARLY GETS OVER 90 WHERE I LIVE!!!". The audacity of some folks. It took me 5 seconds to Google wet bulb temperature to not look like a dumbass saying something like that with my whole chest lol
Props to you for grasping the concept of wet bulb temperature and getting why it's always lower or equal to the dry bulb temperature. It's not exactly obvious why that's the case.
Thanks! It's just wild to me that people don't have the curiosity to at least search up something they don't understand first. Also lol at me not seeing my whole mess of cellphone typos before posting, haha
