Surely you can’t be serious‽

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Yes, and don't call the Shirley

For everyone from the real world, not fluent in retard units.

12 inches = 1 foot

3 feet = 1 yard

22 yards = 1 chain

10 chains = 1 furlong

8 furlongs = 1 mile

3 miles = 1 league

And here is my favourite 2 dimensional unit:

1 furlong x 1 chain = 1 acre

Edit: bruh.

Fahrenheit 451

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

What even is zero Fahrenheit? Isn’t it some random point above freezing that is cold but not that cold?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 10 hours ago

it's a pretty interesting science experiment. it was the temperature of a mix of water, ice and ammonium chloride, which forms a eutectic mixture that stabilises itself at the temperature that fahrenheit chose as zero.

...he didn't write down the amounts he used though.

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

The freezing point of a saturated brine of ammonium chloride.

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Zero Fahrenheit is like -18 C.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, 0F° is close to leave-a-faucet-dripping-lest-your-pipes-freeze weather. Quite a ways below the freezing temperature of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Nah if 0° is upright 90° rotates that counterclockwise. Blame trig.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Back when I took trigonometry, they taught me positive was counterclockwise.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Another American thing maybe? Always been clockwise for me

Edit: ah duck me, trig goes the other way round, forgot, everything else is clockwise tho

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Yeah, if positive was clockwise in trig, y = sin x would have a negative slope at x = 0, which I guess Albert Sine found distasteful.

(I made up Albert Sine. I don't know that there's anyone specific we can attribute the invention of trigonometric functions to. But I like to imagine him sitting at a desk scribbling right triangles by candle light and scratching his head as to how he'd go about actually calculating the sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arccosine, etc of various arbitrary values within his lifetime.)

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 7 points 20 hours ago

I will blame trigonometry, because orienteering says it’s the other way around.

[–] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I will never need this information.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

100° = really fuckin' hot
0° = really fuckin' cold

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

0°C - pretty cold

100°C - pretty hot, grab a beer with you and remember towel under your ass

[–] Redecco@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

0°C - water go hard 100°C - water make funny bubbles

[–] markz@suppo.fi 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

100 is too much. The sweet spot is somewhere around 80.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I found 118 last month for the first time. It was extremely warm

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

Agreed, I just wanted to use same exact numbers as OP

[–] GeriatricGambino@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What's the beer for? To be paired with the human ham I'll turn into if I am exposed to 100 °C for too long?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago

Saunakalja (sauna beer) is a crucial component of Finnish cleansing ritual

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the one part of Murica measurements that makes decent sense. Science aside I just want to know what to wear that day in a human scale.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, celsius users will be like "I can't understand this scientific celsius scale, how can I possible know whether it is saying I should wear shorts or a big fur coat. I wish I had a human scale".

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Tell a Minnesota native it's gonna be 32 degrees and they'll be out in shorts either way you measure.

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They call me heat miser Whatever I touch Starts to melt in my clutch!

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

mr fahrenheit seems to have a drinking problem

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

0f, you just walked outside of a station in Antarctica

100f, you walked outside in a city built in the middle of a desert during the daytime

-40, the temperatures the same in f or c, but you're not gonna like it regardless

[–] weirdbeardgame@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

90's fine. Hell the 100's are fine. It's when you get to 110 and above that ded
