My ACDC is set too high, way to hell.

A European (or anyone else outside of the US) can't set their AC to 70...

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You may be taking this too literally.

I mean, without looking it up, I don't have a clue how hot 70 is

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 7 months ago

I think the joke is they set it to 70C, which is very hot

That would be a cold sauna

[–] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

70C is pretty hot.

[–] Onioneer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

For a sauna, 80-100C is usually preferrable. 120C is nice in a wood heated sauna, you don't even need to throw water at this point. It's nice & cozy :)

My personal reaction was also that no one here has AC as someone from the nordic.

[–] Attaxalotl@ttrpg.network 2 points 7 months ago

They could, If they weren’t cowards

What if you are a European/American DnD player?

You exist in a triple point equilibrium. Constantly flipping between ideal temperature, being cooked alive, and becoming bulletproof. Depending on how quickly you alternate between states it could be feasible to stay alive despite being European.

1st Ed AD&D players when their AC is 70: ☠️

Laporfic? :-P

I’m 100% in on the metric system, but Fahrenheit is the best way to measure weather.

0F is my freezing point 100F is my boiling point

Fuck freezing/boiling of water!

Celsius is great for science (except space science) or cooking, but weather should be based on humans.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 7 months ago

It's just what you grew up with. I'll stick with Celsius

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Fahrenheit isn't "based on humans." I can subjectively claim that 0°F is as unreasonably cold as 100°F is unreasonably warm; 30-90 is the only acceptable range. That's arguably more arbitrary than 0-30.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

100, at the time the units were invented, was considered to be human body temperature

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

And still isn't a comfortable external temperature.

[–] Attaxalotl@ttrpg.network 1 points 7 months ago

That would have made medical sense, making Fahrenheit actually useful for certain applications, and then they fucked it up.

Fahrenheit is just more intuitive to me, but that alone makes me prefer Celsius

and then you add all of the other benefits on top. We really need to get on the metric system.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

-15f is my "freezing point" and anything above 75 is uncomfortably hot. See what you mean?

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago

0f is based on brine, but it just happens to correlate with it being fucking freezing for weather
