The biggest issue with that comic is someone being cold at 69°F. Your circulation is Fucked with a capital F if you're cold at that temperature.

this is fake; women don't like those kinds of jokes

Somebody has never read Fahrenheit 451.

The people in this comic are both monsters.

You don't touch the thermostat.

That appears to be a guess at best. Kinda a hallucination.

The practicalmachinist is just a random forum thread, but with various numbers scattered through it. The Wikipedia article doesn't even talk about ignition temperature, from what I can parse.


FYI 'default' LLMs are really bad at numbers, due to the way they sample and tokenize them. Don't trust them for that.

But if you must, use a big LLM instead of DDG's default. I suggest this, which has an excellent web research mode:

Or this, at a low temperature, though its research mode isn't as good:

As a side note, GLM 4.7/4.6V run on peanuts, and Gemini runs on TPUs with some exotic attention mechanism, so it's probably less power usage than whatever DDG is using.

That's why the carpet caught on fire first

Could've gone down to 67 and then up to 69.

I'm almost entirely certain this comic predates that meme.

I don't know why it bothers me so much that the insides of their mouths are the same color as their skin or beard

Missed a great opportunity for the last panel to have her looking at the "camera" like Disaster Girl .

This is why dad got mad at me for messing with the thermostat.

I wouldn't be upset at all. I’d be like:

Now you get us 1 million dollars😤👌

Do 7 of those and you'll get into Sam Altman levels!

Do the villain plan (whatever it is) 7 times, and you'll get to the size of one Open AI.
