- pyuser583 2y agoIf you’re going to use -40, why include the “C”?
- pinkmuffinere 2y agoIt’s a fun fact that -40 c == -40 f, but if you leave off the units people who aren’t ‘in the know’ would be confused. Also they might (adversarially) wonder if the units are in a lesser known scale like rømer
- pyuser583 2y agoI use nerdy in-jokes a bit too much.
- pinkmuffinere 2y agoSorry if I took your original comment too seriously — I do legitimately think it’s a fun fact! As penance, here’s a bonus fun fact: wtf is 0F???? It’s the temperature saturated brine freezes at! (It’s very close but not exact, because Mr Fahrenheit wasn’t perfect)
- yard2010 2y agoI for one have no idea how much is -40f, is it colder or hotter than -40c? I do remember -32 or something is the same?
- andriamanitra 2y ago-40°C is extremely rare in Southern Finland where most people live. In Helsinki the average temperature is about -6°C in the coldest months of the year, and at worst it might drop down to around -15 to -25°C (depending on the year).
