Let no one accuse me of being a competent artist or comedian.
Is that not -90f?
Nah if 0° is upright 90° rotates that counterclockwise. Blame trig.
Back when I took trigonometry, they taught me positive was counterclockwise.
I will blame trigonometry, because orienteering says it’s the other way around.
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
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.)
I will never need this information.
Lucky.
What even is zero Fahrenheit? Isn’t it some random point above freezing that is cold but not that cold?
Zero Fahrenheit is like -18 C.
The freezing point of a saturated brine of ammonium chloride.
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.
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.
mr fahrenheit seems to have a drinking problem
100° = really fuckin' hot
0° = really fuckin' cold
0°C - pretty cold
100°C - pretty hot, grab a beer with you and remember towel under your ass
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?
Saunakalja (sauna beer) is a crucial component of Finnish cleansing ritual
0°C - water go hard 100°C - water make funny bubbles
100 is too much. The sweet spot is somewhere around 80.
Agreed, I just wanted to use same exact numbers as OP
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.
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".
Tell a Minnesota native it's gonna be 32 degrees and they'll be out in shorts either way you measure.
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.
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
They call me heat miser Whatever I touch Starts to melt in my clutch!
Surely you can’t be serious‽
Yes, and don't call the Shirley
90's fine. Hell the 100's are fine. It's when you get to 110 and above that ded
