Normally I wouldn't make fun, but he even typed the word Celsius in his reply. It's almost like some small part of his brain was trying to throw him a clue.
I saw the Β°C, but my depressed brain intepreted as the imperial system because I'm just so used to it, and the immenent collapse of society doesn't help my brain function better
F in chat
C in question
How curiously pertinent in more than one wayβ¦
Youβd be fine. Your blood wouldnβt even be boiling yet.
Mine would π
Youβre clearly not under enough pressure. Maybe a gambling addiction would help.
Your blood tubes aren't an open container
That's what you think
Fair point but they arenβt exactly hermetically sealed either. Iβd expect a lower atmospheric pressure to impose a stronger gradient between skin and vessels. Like if you can get the bends from ascending from depth too quickly, shouldnβt something happen in this case too?
WE CAN DRINK!
seems like a skill issue on your part smh
F not C, red name dude.
98 fahrenheit is normal. 98C is 208F.
98.7 is likely close enough to boiling point that there'd surely be some bubbles. I'd expect your bubbles per minute to be more than 0.
How many bubbles before the pump fails and needs to be re-primed?
Please don't boil your pump
Keep it to a light poach.
Usually 1 I think
In many places around the world, it would be outright boiling. But I imagine internal organs would need a larger temperature.
A bunch of boiled meat? Must have been British.
A cool burn!
Almost boiling... burn
98.7K - ice cold
98.7F - a-ok
98.7C - first degree burns for your first responders
98.7 KFC FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE SOUTHERN FRIED ROCK WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI!
KFC! OMG I GET IT NOW!!!
First it's frozen, then it's thawed, then it's extra crispy!!!
(Psst, you need another letter! It would indeed be west of the Mississippi though, east of the Mississippi start with W. Fuck I'm a nerd!)
I adore the level of non-malicious pedantry that came from your joke
Ah so it's KKFC, got it.
Somebody alert the KGB(-FM San Diego) Arcane slime can't take a joke.
I'm really happy to have learned that. Thanks.
If your ice is 98.7 K it would be Ice Ic with a different crystalline structure. It would probably taste like intense hot sauce turning your tongue black and causing it to fall out of your frostbitten mouth because you tried to lick Ice Ic you daft bastard.
Soβ¦technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Also, who licks ice? Ice cream, sure. Ice pops, absolutely. But just ice? Give us some wild description of what ice Ic would do in a glass when room temp water or soda was poured on it.
You never fellated an icicle on a cold winter day?
This must be the reason for that spontaneous human combustion people talk about
The person who comment is from US right?
Venus, actually.
