I mean... with bunny/rabbits maybe?.. Can't really use cat ears as handles, too small, no?

Would most likely be too difficult...

Spoiler: random caturday pic that has NO correlation with what we were talking about, involving a Cheetah and a Lynx...

Good saturday everyone. I'm new here and I don't know what exactly is going on in the forum, but hello everyone.

Hello, and good caturday to you too)

i never understood fareinheight..For me celcius is better. 0 means liquid solidify..100 its boil..simple for someone limited as me ;-)

Ah, yes, the Fahrenheit scale - a paragon of scientific precision and intellectual rigor. Invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, it is the pinnacle of temperature measurement. Why 32°F for freezing? Clearly, because 0 was far too pedestrian. And why 212°F for boiling? Because 100 just didn’t have enough flair.


Fahrenheit, in his infinite wisdom, designed a scale that ensures no temperature is ever too round, simple, or logical. Every degree was meticulously chosen to maximize confusion and precision in equal measure. For instance, the temperature at which a human begins to question their life choices in the sun? A crisp 105°F. The exact moment your coffee goes from “perfectly warm” to “I’ve made a terrible mistake”? 165°F.


And let's not forget: 32°F means water freezes, but it feels like -10°F when you’re walking your dog in it. Because why make things easy when you can have complexity? Every calculation is an opportunity to ask: "Wait, what was that again?!” Truly, Fahrenheit is the gift that keeps on giving. Why settle for clarity when you can have art.

DubbleU speaks in Fahrenheit dialect

Hard habit to break, I only use Celcius & Metrics when I'm in Canada, but only with other people, though a lot of people use Imperial for some things there as well, like height/weight. I had to conform to my setting, so Fahrenheit and Imperial, is the usual, being an American or Canadian-American, that basically lives full-time in the US. Trust me, when I'm in Toronto, when I speak about prices, I get stuck on everything being CAD, and then I have to check the current conversion rate on that vs USD. When I get back home it takes me 2 days to readjust to USD, so I pretty much stay home to avoid embarrassing myself. Granted, I also have to catch myself the first few weeks of the year, with me wanting to write down the previous year.

Will take a break..see you later tonight guys

Take care.

It's a shame there are so many series with potential that never see more than 1-2 seasons, especially when it's a wildly popular piece of media.

But what about body temperature though? Only in Fahrenheit you can say I am 98.5% and it means you are healthy!

 

[Vizer007]

Damn it. Hate when some youtubers use music and then never credit it...because I can't find it even if I like it!
That's just sad...

Sure? I have a pretty high threshold.

Good day to you too.

why can you say that and know that you are healthy?

I heard a story that Fahrenheit was supposed to indicate healthy body temperature as 100 degrees but I guess they miscalculated a bit

Actually -- There was a method to his madness -- On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°F because Daniel Fahrenheit originally defined 0°F as the temperature of a mixture of ice, water, and salt, and then defined the freezing point of water as 32°F, then initially he thought body temperature was 90 based on that 0 to 32 separation 212 was because they wanted 180 degrees between freezing and boiling -- And I have no frigging idea why they wanted the 180 separation

I came here for university, but I'm going to see if there's anything I missed

Ah, yes, body temperature. Another shining example of the magnificence of Fahrenheit. You see, the average human body temperature is 98.6°F. Why 98.6? Why not a nice, round 100°F, or even a more logical 37°C? Because Fahrenheit, in his infinite wisdom, knew that "normal" should always be a number that sounds like it was picked out of a hat. The fact that we all somehow agree that 98.6°F is the golden standard is a tribute to the power of arbitrary precision.


Now, let’s talk about fevers. If your temperature rises to 100°F, you’re "feverish." But at 101°F? Ooh, now you're really cooking. At 102°F, you’re entering the realm of "someone please call a doctor" and by 104°F, you’ve transcended into “why are you still walking around"?


All of this to say, Fahrenheit didn’t just measure temperatures; he crafted an experience. A 98.6°F body temperature isn’t just a number, it’s a reflection of how seriously we take our health in a system that makes us feel slightly lost when we’re reading a thermometer. Because why settle for simplicity, when you can have an entire world of confusion built around something as essential as the human body?


In the end, 98.6°F is perfect. It’s the temperature that tells you, “You’re alive!” but also leaves you thinking, “Wait, how hot should I be again?” Ah, Fahrenheit, always keeping us on our toes.
