Comment on literally 451°
monotremata@lemmy.ca 3 days agoThis does not appear to be correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoignition_temperature gives the point for paper as “218–246 °C (424–475 °F)” which roughly matches the title as published.

average of those two is 449.5, which is 1.5 below 451. like, oh no he missed one of the averages by 1.5 degrees because he asked someone because he himself did not know, and was still within any reasonable margin of error. burn him at the stake.

Yeah, it’s the person I was replying to who was saying that Bradbury made a mistake by saying 451°F, and that it should have been 451°C. I cited the range to demonstrate that Bradbury’s number was roughly correct and 451°C is very much not.
