It ain’t gay if feather layers don’t compress.
anzo@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
Can’t be gay anyway… if they don’t wear any socks, right?
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
It’s actually quite impressive that they don’t get crowd crushes
lauha@lemmy.one 3 weeks ago
You bet they used to but those populations dies off and those who didn’t crush themselves survives. That’s called evolution.

So what you’re saying is we haven’t had enough Black Fridays yet

Understanding why and how would be valuable
Damage@feddit.it 3 weeks ago
Because they’re soft and fluffy!!

What do the girl penguins do?
littlewonder@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
According to my expert knowledge bestowed upon me from my viewings of the movie Happy Feet, the females are all off doing food hunting things while the dudes are keeping the eggs warm during the blizzards.
FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Yeah genuinely someone answer this, what DO the female penguins do for warmth?
NaNin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
That’s really cool
Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s kind of hot
No homo

Huddle for warmth
Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This is like learning if I shrunk myself down and hung out with some extremophiles they could be as cool/cute as penguins

37.78 Celsius for those who don’t know freedom units offhand (including me, I had to search the conversion).

Thank you for your service my hero

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.
BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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…

So just about human body temperature, pretty neat
EstonianGuy@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
It’s actually based on emperor penguin huddle temperature, humans just happen to have the same temp.
SpongyAneurism@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 3 weeks ago
It’s actually Mr. Fahrenheit’s wife’s body temperature on one particular day. Luckily she happened to be human.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Higher actually
bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
0° Fahrenheit is human body temperature.
0° F is an ice and salt mix below freezing.
Dicska@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Is… Is that second F a C?
Ediacarium@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
And what is 0° Fahren?
