people who say they like [other season] are lying to themselves. It is objectively correct to like [poster's favorite season]

Everybody knows a string has 0 mass and air resistance is negligible, it's basic physics!

The thing that makes any unit useful is being an agreed upon standard, which is true of both F and C. the "feel right" part is just how it got there. When Celsius stuck a thermometer in freezing water and marked its position, he called that 100 degrees based on vibes. Later on, a french academic decided that actually freezing should be 0 and boiling should be 100, and that decision was based on vibes. Why is it any different when Farenheit made a vibes based decision to put 0 in a different spot than celsius?

If you take issue with defining units based on vibes i have terrible news about the second, the meter, and the kilogram. Basically any unit is arbitrary until it becomes a standard

And celsius fully ignores the effect pressure has on the boiling/melting point of water. Turns out temperature units only measure temperature

Farenheit is set up such that temperatures between 0 and 100 convey the subjective feel. 0F is really cold, 100F is really hot. Obviously cold and hot feel is subjective, but what could be more human than subjectivity?

If you use both hands to type the mouse would either fall off or be damgling from its cord

Pretty sure this was from the standup routine Ally made him do for total forgiveness

"Highway Hypnosis" is a well documented phenomenon. Your body is essentially autopiloting the drive. It most commonly happens when you're driving a route you're familiar with, like a commute.
