- 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?
