That explain why Trump think 15 years old is okay, because he thought they're 59!

There we go, these are the new instructions for MAGA on how to defend pedophiles. Well done, we did it guys, let's wrap up! Woop woop!

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well it's not like they were going to do it themselves.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Exactly. That's what the meme from the other day was about.

The past thing MAGAts will embrace is the fucking metric system. The first thing is apparently children.

Celsius died in 1744, but according to Fahrenheit, that will only happen in 3171.

Does this mean the big bang happened in -273.15 BC?

Tycho Brahe died because it was impolite to go to the bathroom during a banquet, so his bladder burst.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Imagine having to clean up after a bladder explosion

Or a corpse at your fancy dinner party, for that matter.

The night before he died, he suffered from a delirium during which he was frequently heard to exclaim that he hoped he would not seem to have lived in vain.

Poor guy died of a UTI because he was too polite.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago

He's Scandinavian allright.

Both died with 42º body temperature

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Care to explain?

I thought you might mean -40°C = -40°F

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, 42ºC is a deadly body temperature and also 42ºF = 5,56ºC bodytemperature is deadly.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Ooooh, many thanks haha

0 Celsius: Water freezes
0 Kelvin: Absolute zero

0 Fahrenheit:

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 4 months ago

0F = colder than frozen water, but warmer than absolute 0.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

0°F is the warmest allowed temperature for freezing food in the service industry. We measure with Celsius here so I only recently found out that -18°C = -0.4°F which is just about 0°F. I was looking at some cases of food we store in the freezer and noticed it said “store at -18°C (0°F) or colder”. I doubt that’s the actual reason for 0°F being what it is, but it is a practical use case for that temperature.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

This is the first useful example of fahrenheit I've ever heard.

Doesn't really beat 0°C being freezing (great for weather), in my opinion, but still nice!

Thanks

~-40 C = -40 F. Although Metric>>>>imperial.
