My immune system this weekend: also, we have to eject everything from your body any way possible.
Me: …
My immune system: hope you didn’t eat spicy.

99% of the time, a fever kills the bacteria then lowers. You’ll be fine, go take a nap.
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 10 months ago
I look at this more like “you’ll die before I do, you bastards!”
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I had a fever over 38 °C for a couple weeks once. It was fine, just hot.
Bigoldmustard@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Meanwhile my immune system killed my insulin producing cells and I haven’t had a fever since. I like to imagine it as a greaser with a switchblade casually leaning next to the thermostat.
BlackArtist@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m not a bright man and this is an honest question, are you a diabetic? If so that’s really interesting as my daughter is type one, I find that quite fascinating that you don’t get a fever and something for me to look out for.
Bigoldmustard@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Yes sir I’m type 1. Didn’t even get a fever when I got Covid. I usually cruise around at about 97.7 or so. Think I hit 97.9 last time I was sick.

The way the text and image in the specific meme are utilized in the same context as the original source of the meme is refreshing. I feel like I see this meme template used in weird ways that kinda-work-but-not-really more than other templates.
Anyway, good quality well made meme, got me laugh
Deebster@programming.dev 10 months ago
Agreed - I think part of the humour in a meme is fitting new situations into the format and when this is ignored (or done poorly) it misses the mark, kind like as if you’d attempted a limerick but got the meter all wrong.
doingthestuff@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I generally agree with metric superiority, but 38° is such a random temperature. Whereas if you’re over 100 you’re too hot. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature unit. Fight me.
Name@feddit.nu 10 months ago
What’s the normal fahrenheit temperature?
rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 10 months ago
At least 12
superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I agree when it comes to weather as well. 100 is too hot to be outside and 0 is way too cold to be outside. You don’t have to have decimal places on thermostats
scytale@lemm.ee 10 months ago
0C for freezing is better than 32F though. Then you can count by 5s and 10s in celcius for weather till you hit 30. Above that is hot. Having a range of 30 points on the thermometer is easier to gauge than something that goes across almost double the number of points.

Fahrenheit measures how people feel, Celsius measures how water feels.
Kelvin measures how atoms feel.
DrRatso@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Celsius isnt too bad imo, you know the reference points by the time you are in elem school.
36-37 normal, 37-38 elevated, 38-39 fever, 39-40 high fever, 40-41 very high fever, 41-42 okay, stop, really, 42+ shouldve listened

TIL the reason for high temperature
Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Most infection can survive the minor temperature rise. The more tangible reason is that the rise in temperature signals phagocytes that it’s dinner time. Also it helps mobilizing white blood cells and increases the production of T-cells.
Dasus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You can’t survive an internal >42C.
You can a 38c.

Immune system: I’m not here to keep you alive. I’m here to kill infections.
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
and other things I deem dangerous even though they’re not
watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Oh no, a peanut, better close your airways!!
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Or things that keep you alive (organ transplants)
XTornado@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
But you are a danger to yourself too.
