They never tell you what constitutes a chirp, have you ever tried to actually use this in RL? It doesn’t fucking work.

You’re telling me you cant keep track of 30-45 simple chirps off a standard reference cricket in a 15 second period? Did you even go to school dude?

standard reference cricket
Fuck

That depends on whether it’s a frictionless sphere.
arnitbier@sh.itjust.works 21 hours ago
There is no standard most crickets chirp different and at different speeds its not working in most places unless they are resonating and that narrows it down to useless
IndiBrony@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Counting the negative chirps is the worst. Like, why is there a -20ch marker if it’s never -20?

Cricket will go “yeeep” if the temperature is in the negative Fahrenheit
bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 23 hours ago
It must be in that small part of the world where temperature is measured in Fahrenheit. Eurasian, African, Australian or even South American crickets would never do that.

His degrees X would be a good way to show changes over long periods of time by simply graphing the annual adjustments.

I dunno, out of all the uses of metric system, Fahrenheit seems the more logical than the rest…
Metric temperature as Celsius is just as random as any other made up system of temperature measurement. Fahrenheit used the temperature of the human body to create his system, which makes a lot more sense than other systems.

What is 0°F in terms of the human body? I’m guessing that 100°F is supposed to be a normal human body temperature, but in reality that will vary from person to person and everybody I’ve met is usually 97-99 unless they have a fever.
In Celsius/Centigrade, 0° is the freezing point of water at 1 atmosphere of pressure, and 100° is the boiling point.
In Kelvin, 0 is absolute zero, and it scales with Celsius/Centigrade because anchoring it to water just makes sense.Fahrenheit is fucking silly and people only defend it because it’s what they were familiar with growing up, so they teach the next generation the same thing, thus perpetuating the cycle of tradition for the sake of tradition.

I agree with you, except that I think the time system is great. It was deliberately designed to be maximally divisible, and makes a lot of sense in that manner. 12 hours of daylight— a highly divisible number, with 60 small (minuscule, or “minute”) divisions of the hour, which is even MORE divisible than 12. Then when time keeping got more accurate, they added a second division of 60 more parts, and… well, called ‘em seconds.
Basically, 12 and 60 are just so divisible they make really good bases.

What use is the Fahrenheit measurement though? I thought only one or two countries use it.
_stranger_@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Two countries and crickets apparently.
Routhinator@startrek.website 10 hours ago
US and … maybe Israel? Those are the two countries that use the US “Simple English” while the rest of us know what a U is for and how to say Z… so if they also both used F that would track.

Is that an AI generated thermometer? The scaling makes no sense whatsoever lol

It makes absolutely no sense lol. Definitely AI

No, it’s what happens of you don’t use a metric unit

No mate look on the right side, the number 20 is repeated. Ye imperial units are fucked but we are not at a point where 20 Celsius is equal to 2 different Fahrenheit values.

In Celsius it is chirps in 8 seconds + 5 (Dolbear’s Law)

Yeah, I’m going to hunt I’ve down, and isolate it from all the others just so I can count its chirps without the count won’t be screwed up by being confused by other chirpers - all to avoid simply looking at all the other sources of said information that are much more readily available and convenient
Unless you’re doing some sort of environmental science experiment while living in a post-apocalyptic world where every pre-existing analog device for accomplishing this has somehow been destroyed, this is utterly useless.
DancingBear@midwest.social 20 hours ago
Only in the sense that knowing the exact temperature on an arbitrary scale is utterly useless. Even Celsius scale is arbitrary, I guess it does use one molecule at an arbitrary atmospheric pressure as a loose guide though…
Is it always 100 degrees Celsius in a vacuum? Because water boils in a vacuum.
CannonFodder@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
100 degrees Celsius is defined as the boiling point at exactly _1.0 atmospheric pressure _
