“It’s either cold enough that I’m gonna die or it’s not. Not sitting on the cold floor isn’t going to save me in a situation where it would matter.”
Until you remember that your body needs energy to heat your body, and needs less energy when you lose less, having more spare every for other things like your immune system.
- Comment on Optimisation is a Slow Process 1 week ago:
It does? Look at your arms when you’re cold, you’ll see all your tiny hairs are standing to help prevent the body from losing too much heat.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 2 weeks ago:
More like that they probably are too young to have bought a home earlier. All people in their 20s (and I think we make a large percentage of Lemmy users) simply have to cope and buy some overpriced home regardless.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 2 weeks ago:
👍 in Europe earthquakes luckily are less of a concern, so we care more about longevity (you’ll find many places where pretty much every house is over a hundred years old) and good isolation (to keep the heat inside in winter and outside in summer so we can heat less / don’t have to use air conditioning on our way to net zero)
- Comment on your mom falls significantly faster than g 2 weeks ago:
Why your spoiler is wrong:
The gravitational force between two objects is G(m1 m2)/r²
G = ~6.67 • 10^-11 Nm²/kg²
m1 = Mass of the earth = ~5.972 • 10^24 kg
m2 = Mass of the second object, I’ll use M to refer to this from now on
r = ~6378 • 10^3 m
Fg = 6.67 • 10^-11^ Nm²/kg² • 5.972 • 10^24^ kg • M / (6378 • 10^3 m)² = ~9.81 • M N/kg = 9.81 • M m kg / s² / kg = 9.81 • M m/s² = g • M
Since this is the acceleration that works between both masses, it already includes the mass of an iron ball having a stronger gravitational field than that of a feather.
So yes, they are, in fact, taking the same time to fall.

- Comment on How is the hydrogen made? 4 weeks ago:
But you could technically build huge solar panel areas in deserts and bring that hydrogen to populated areas. Or you could use excess energy from renewables to produce hydrogen, storing at least some of the excess energy for times where renewables produce less.

Can we please make an experiment to verify this, @ESA @NASA

Simply go higher. At some altitude there just are no mosquitos anymore.

- Comment on Brand recognition 5 weeks ago:
Oh it’s a term linked to that industry…
But I suppose average people will not know of that meaning, so it’s a perfectly fine brand name (I also still don’t know what it means but know enough to know that I don’t want to know it)

- Comment on Oxbowin' 5 weeks ago:
Just recently my country exchanged land with a neighbouring country to adjust for the changes of water, each giving and gaining the same amount of land. When water marks the border it’s much easier to know when you’re crossing it.

I love it when it’s -10% hot in winter nights or 110% hot around the equator. Makes perfect sense.
- Comment on Seriously. 2 months ago:
Yes, it doesn’t matter which example you take, Fahrenheit never makes sense imo.
- Comment on Seriously. 2 months ago:
0°F is the coldest night Mister Fahrenheit has ever seen, thinking it couldn’t become any colder than this.
100°F is Mister Fahrenheit’s slightly feverish body temperature.
???
PS: Pretty much all other countries also had their own measurement systems and simply switched to metric because it made sense. I’m glad we did, and pretty much all others did too.
PPS: I’d also be up for revamping time measurement, why can’t we have 10h a day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute? 100.000 seconds in total per day, currently we have 86.400 so a second would only become slightly shorter.
- Comment on Seriously. 2 months ago:
Fully agree with you. How does that make sense:
Really hot summer days (30°C) are 86°F
Usual summer days (25°C) are 77°F
Room temperature is ~70°F
Spring / autumn days (20°C) are 68°F
Chilly outside / late autumn / early spring days (~10°C) are 50°F
Cool outside / warm winter days (~0°C) are 32°F
Cold outside / usual winter days (~ -10°C) are ~15°F
Winter nights (bit below -20°C) are ~ -10°F
- Comment on Seriously. 2 months ago:
Kelvin is the SI unit. Anyway also for the weather Celsius is clearer: Below 0 = snow, above 0 = rain. And Celsius at least has fixed points that can be recreated - if all thermometers and data on scales were lost we could easily recreate °C, but not °F.
- Comment on Mushroom ID 2 months ago:
Where I live (mountainous region in Austria) they are everywhere. I just go hiking for a bit so I’m at not too frequented spots and then I can just pick as many as I need, often the floor nearly is more yellow than brown on certain spots.
We don’t have white oaks here but they typically grow in needle forests.
(And we call them Eierschwammerl = egg mushrooms, to explain my previous comment)
Image of a typical spot, took it a month ago ^
