Am I the only one who thought that was a really shiny grasshopper?
I dont like this nonsense. They never tell you what constitutes a chirp, is it chirp chirp? Is it each chirp cause that means its 140°. Like have you ever tried to actually use this in RL? It simply doesn't work.
Its for a very specific region and a very particular cricket. So its bullshit to pass it off like some natural law
You’re telling me you cant keep track of 30-45 simple chirps off a standard reference cricket in a 15 second period? Did you even go to school dude?
standard reference cricket
Fuck
You’re telling me you cant keep track of 30-45 simple chirps off a standard reference cricket in a 15 second period?
That depends on whether it's a frictionless sphere.
Counting the negative chirps is the worst. Like, why is there a -20ch marker if it's never -20?
What use is the Fahrenheit measurement though? I thought only one or two countries use it.
Two countries and crickets apparently.
Just as God intended
US and ... maybe Israel? Those are the two countries that use the US "Simple English" while the rest of us know what a U is for and how to say Z... so if they also both used F that would track.
Everything except metric
There are lots of cursed options
Wtf is going on with Dalton
It's a logarithmic scale based on Kelvin, but with constants shoved in there so 0 and 100 would agree with Celsius.

I'm more confused about Galen. -4 to 4, 0 is "normal"? 50 c is "normal"? For what??
In Galen's scale, the 0 point is 22 °C, an alright room temperature, but the others are described too vaguely for us to convert. It might also be nonlinear. See the explainxkcd.com article
His degrees X would be a good way to show changes over long periods of time by simply graphing the annual adjustments.
least convoluted way to measure a US measurement system
Is that an AI generated thermometer? The scaling makes no sense whatsoever lol
It makes absolutely no sense lol. Definitely AI
No, it's what happens of you don't use a metric unit
No mate look on the right side, the number 20 is repeated. Ye imperial units are fucked but we are not at a point where 20 Celsius is equal to 2 different Fahrenheit values.
look on the right side
Thanks! I looked at the wrong side at first
No, I was just kidding, including the first comment. Both sides are messed up, it was a variation of the "anything but metric" meme.
This is bullshit
In Celsius it is chirps in 8 seconds + 5 (Dolbear's Law), but if you listen a single "Chirpffffffsss", than better stay at home
About half the time and an easier addition? Metric wins again.
As always, metrics with clear rules are always better as random metrics by bodyparts of an King in the past, apart avoiding errors. Ask the NASA, crashing 2 Mars probes using the Imperial system.
That's a grasshopper.
Exactly. Quick image search will show you that cricket looks like this:
Crickets in Antarctica be like: prihc
We should stop using Fahrenheit and Celsius and use chirp
It starts snowing at -8 chirps
And people say farenheight doesn't have a use...
I was trying to think of any situation where this would be useful and the only thing I come up with is a way to keep kids occupied during a camping trip.
So it's 4°C, got it!
