  If you’re going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I’d say that wherever that number came from, it’s precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let’s just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you’d said 37.7°C I wouldn’t have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).

  You’re all probably saying, “Who cares? Why do you care? Aren’t you just being any even more annoying pedant?”

  I do. I don’t know. Probably.

  But, if you’re going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.

    Wasn’t trying to be a smartass. It’s just that it’s 37.777 repeating, so 37.78 I think gets the point across. I’ll include proper significant figures when it’s necessary for actual scientific work.

    Since you’re trying to be more scientific about it, shouldn’t it be represented in SI units in the first place…?

    Also, it’s science memes.

    He’s not being snarky about it or the numbers. He’s being snarky about someone else that’s much like that but much more rediculous and on TV. Somewhat entertaining because he’s completely wrong about gorram near everything. It’s about to go completely psychotic when, although, in all fairness, if, the cult followers become aware of the truth. Otherwise they are sociopaths.

    Kind of point to be snarky here where we can point at the truth. Has little or nothing to do with the numbers, per se…

      Was that supposed to be coherent or relevant? Are you lost?

        It is coherent but if you’re going to be snarky about because you just don’t get it with an ego that whines all kinds of sensitivity and shit in public, then I’m just not going to explain shit to you. Why would I? My ego has dope. So fuck off kid.

        …or just ask the question all polite and shit and don’t forget the apology.

  So just about human body temperature, pretty neat

    It’s actually based on emperor penguin huddle temperature, humans just happen to have the same temp.

    It’s actually Mr. Fahrenheit’s wife’s body temperature on one particular day. Luckily she happened to be human.

      luckily for who?

    Higher actually

      for some people it’d be a pretty hefty fever, iirc my body temp is 36°C

  0° Fahrenheit is human body temperature.

  0° F is an ice and salt mix below freezing.

    Is… Is that second F a C?

  • Ediacarium@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    And what is 0° Fahren?

      That’s just going straight.
