I dont like this nonsense. They never tell you what constitutes a chirp, is it chirp chirp? Is it each chirp cause that means its 140°. Like have you ever tried to actually use this in RL? It simply doesn't work.
It must be in that small part of the world where temperature is measured in Fahrenheit. Eurasian, African, Australian or even South American crickets would never do that.
You’re telling me you cant keep track of 30-45 simple chirps off a standard reference cricket in a 15 second period? Did you even go to school dude?
Well there is no standard, most crickets chirp different and at different speeds its not working in most places unless they are resonating and even then its dependent on (wind, time of day, noise that scares them, other bugs around disrupting things, fucking LIGHT for the city people) that narrows it down to next to useless and an occasional huh look correlation, youre just the dumbass that believed it without thought and hasn't traveled at ALL, or applied themselves to thinking outside their dogmatic-ass-box apparently.
Maybe you should read a book friend.
No, they all chirp together, that’s kind of why they do it, maybe there are other insects chirping if you are in a more rural area like locusts or something that chirp really fast?
Use your goddamn brain its a drone of insects chirping there is no fucking obvious line for a chirp in a second, you have to capture one and even then its not how the chirping works
Literally listening to them now just nonstop chirp drone. That's how most are. Read the fucking manual. Aka the study and what it says stop dramaing it up like a little bitch and pretending your being smart or anything other then the bitch you are being
Ok, perhaps you are hearing a cacophony of other insects, or your hearing is different than mine.
Yes, I am a bitch but that is neither here nor there, but I can clearly hear a wave pattern with the chirps as I sit outside on my front porch, and I already knew about this cool way to measure the temperature in Fahrenheit… obviously, we already know whether we are too hot or too cold without knowing the exact temperature though… it’s just a fun factoid when you’re camping
Also if you make a loud bang or a loud noise you can interrupt the chirping but they will continue…
So you can't do it then and your just bullshitti g to engage? Sad lonely vibes I feel you could be more.... Happy doing something else
Not sure what you’re saying? You seem upset about life or something,
Are you having a bad day? feel free to vent…
Very strange lol why are you messaging me about Celsius?
collapsed inline media
Celsius will never win!
Fuck
That depends on whether it's a frictionless sphere.
Counting the negative chirps is the worst. Like, why is there a -20ch marker if it's never -20?
Cricket will go "yeeep" if the temperature is in the negative Fahrenheit
