Exactly, its just cope. Someone who grew up entirely on metric temperature will have exactly the same intuition. For example myself:

<0 = freezing 0-10 = Cold 11-17 = Warming up 18-24 = Comfortably warm 25-29 = Tropical 30-40 = Uncomfortably hot >40 = Dangerously hot

Besides which, all of this goes out the window once wind chill and other external effects that absolute temperature cannot account for come into play.

It’s the usual American exceptionalism that causes them to throw a tantrum every time they’re asked to conform to a worldwide standard. There’s a reason most of the world uses metric measurements for most things in every day life, and its because it just works once you get used to it.

Yeah, of course that is the case now that most definitions have been updated to be tied to physical constants rather than observations that rely on specific conditions…

But the same wiki article you linked literally says otherwise. The Kelvin’s magnitude was based on the magnitude of Celcius because of Charle’s Law.

I.e. the volumes of gases under the ideal gas law scaled linearly with degrees celcius by about 1/273rd between 0-100C - which led to the prediction that the lowest possible temperature a gas could be was -273C (because that would be the point where it theoretically would have absolutely zero volume).

Which is a long-winded way of saying stop being a smartass. The guy you replied to was just as technically correct as you were, given they said 1k stemmed from 1C.

Enjoy the peace of impotency? Surely he doesn’t think his penis actually has a brain right? Its your brain that makes you horny, and it will still make you horny even if the equipment don’t work anymore.

If you’re that horny-brained that its causing you stress, your best option (aside from therapy, cause that’s expensive) is to get offline and find a hobby to distract your mind with.

Personally, I think you’re half-right in that (with a sample size of our solar system) the Earth is the only one with an actually diverse range of biomes - really only possible because the availability of water in multiple forms…

But the Earth-like planets in NMS should rightfully have the same biome diversity if they were being scientifically accurate…

Though we all know the real reason for the lack of diversity is to force movement between planets. If every resource was on one planet, there’s be no reason for the player to explore.

Poor book. Nothing short of the crappiest, soulless literature out there deserves to be desicrated with wing sauce like that

Oh no! How will I ever know what to do when my step-sibling is stuck in a washing machine?!

Seriously though, while it is definitely weird when an adult pretends to be a minor in porn, is it really 5 years in prison weird??

Like are we really going to put people in prison for pretending to do something illegal when we already have a problem with huge delays in court times and severely overcrowded prisons?

I’d much prefer the limited public resources go towards locking up actual pedos than people fetishising them.

For myself, it’s gaming consoles that I already own. Why go for the brand new when the things I already own not only still work - but have more functionality than they ever did before thanks to their respective modding scenes?

Hell, just in 2025 the Xbox 360 got it’s first software exploit that works on all models - which was thought to be basically impossible outside of very limited scenarios like the King Kong Exploit…

Forget soldering, forget RGH and JTAG - you can now have an almost cold-boot modded 360 with just a USB and 30-60 minutes of your time (and that’s not even counting the full cold-boot exploit teased by Grim Doomer on twitter).

If you’ve got the right console, you could be sitting on a goldmine of fun right now and never know it until you try.

The problem with pointing out contradictory points of view to the right wing is that they largely don’t care. These arguments are ultimately just dog whistles and plausible deniability towards their real ends.

They’ll argue parent’s right when the parents agree with them, then trample those same rights when they don’t - and won’t even blink because parent’s rights wasn’t the goal, it was the elimination of Trans kids, which both points are consistent with.

I hate to tell you, but there are plenty of brain-rotted kids out there too. It’ll get anyone that spends long enough online.

Social media addiction is plenty real, pretty sure I’ve got at least a mild case of it - which is why I try to limit how long I spend here and other sites.

Isn’t this just called having a lazy morning?

Like you wake up but don’t feel like getting up yet, so you play about with your phone for a bit?

As long as you’re not doing that for ages every single day, I’d say it’s fairly normal behaviour. Sometimes you just need a bit to slouch you know.

I’m worried how many people answered the odd numbers for an equation where it is only possible to end up with an even numbered answer.

Valve could’ve legitimately done nothing and still be winning in comparison to the big three, but instead they’ve slowly and steadily been helping the gaming community to give Windows the middle finger by making huge contributions to Linux gaming.

Honestly, its downright shameful how many companies have forgotten that a good way to make money from customers is simply to treat them nicely while they’re buying your goods.
