  Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F

  It’d be a lot less than that if two breasts are 1000 terabytes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨reading poetry by the Han River💖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always the less innocent:

  There once was a man from Madras,
  Whose bollocks were made out of brass,
  In inclement weather,
  He’d rub them together,
  And lightning came out of his ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨reading poetry by the Han River💖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There once was a maid of Madras,
  Who had a magnificent ass,
  Not rounded and pink,
  As you’d possibly think,
  It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨reading poetry by the Han River💖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There once was a young lad from Brighton,
  Who said to his lass “you’re a tight 'un”,
  She said “Bless my soul,
  But you’re in the wrong hole,
  And there’s plenty of room in the right 'un”

  Cremation uses more energy than you get from burning flesh, turns out a bag of mostly water doesn’t actually burn very well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FWIW this isn’t true, the $700 quintillion figure was an estimate of the total metal value (most of which would be iron as it happens) based on the asteroid being similar in composition to nickel-iron meteorites. As it happens we actually think it’s a fair bit rockier than that these days. There’d still be vast amounts of metal there but it would be harder to mine and process with the extra rock.

  Also the estimate was just multiplying the mass of each metal by its current market price, which isn’t how any of this works anyway and AFAIK wasn’t actually made by NASA just to round out the number of ways this is wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It has ~70% the conductivity of pure copper, it’s not “shit”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More likely - whichever billionaire mined it would hoard it off the market to keep the value high and make them richer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, level 1 is actually correct. Regardless of its etymology, octopus is an english word and should be pluralised accordingly.

  People domesticate dogs before they domesticate horses.

  By like 20,000 years or so too, I dont think people realize how long we’ve been domesticating dog

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨English has too many words for animals⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It means the opposite of itself.

  Fun fact: there’s a word for words like that, they’re called contronyms.
