I live very close to the one in Italy (close to Turin). It's SO impressive. The early cathedral was built around the year ~800AD. And it was not "built" in the sense that they placed bricks one over the other. Instead, what they did was "cut" the stone of the mountain to shape it as a cathedral.
The steps of the stairs are just cut and shaped stone, the walls are just stone. It can be summer and 90degrees in Turin, and inside the cathedral is 30 degrees and so chill.
If you ever find yourself close, go visit it, it's a very humbling experience.
- sokoloff 2y ago> It can be summer and 90degrees in Turin, and inside the cathedral is 30 degrees and so chill. Which temperature scale are you using here?
- enedil 2y agoProbably not Kelvin.
- pbmonster 2y agoShitty life-hacks: you can ballpark converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit by multiplying by 2!
- throw_pm23 2y agoThis life-hack is significantly improved if you change it to: C->F: multiply by 2, then add 30 F->C: subtract 30, then divide by 2.
- thruway516 2y agoIll say. If I follow GPs life-hack for 30C I get 60F, which is significantly different from 86F. Some life-hack.
- dEnigma 2y agoThat's why they called it a "shitty" life hack.
- combray 2y ago30*2 + 30 = 90, which is pretty close to 86. Going the other way 86-30 / 2 = 28 which is close to 30.
- thruway516 2y agoI was referring to the comment above that one.
- abofh 2y agoAt room temperatures, the +32 is significant, at cooking temperatures, who's oven is even accurate to 16/32 degrees? It depends on if knowing the "right" answer is more important than knowing an answer that will get you to what you want e.g., tasty muffins rather than charcoal briquettes :)
- elviejo 2y agoThis is the correct life hack. is approximate enough to give you an idea. and easy enough to do mentally
- throw_pm23 2y agoI suppose Celsius and 90 is a poetic exaggeration for 35+, while 30 being realistic for inside a stone-building mid-summer in Italy. Alternatively, Fahrenheit, and 90 is realistic for outdoors mid-summer in Italy and 30 is a poetic exaggeration for ~80 inside a stone-building. If meant literally, the holy water would freeze inside the cathedral. Besides, nobody uses Fahrenheit in Europe, but poetic exaggeration is common.
- tjoff 2y agoI've never heard of anyone proclaim 30 deg c as being "so chill". Also much hotter than what I would expect a cathedral to be. But then again, I am sensitive to heat.
