they love heartwarming uplifting stories that are really deeply depressing and sad, like classrooms of seven year olds begging on gofundme for a wheelchair for their classmate or a man walking five hours a day to get to and from his minimum wage job

Negative temperatures are literally nonsensical in the first place, so Celsius is just as dumb, arbitrary, and useless of a system as Farenheight and people who tend to make a big stink about it are the "I loving love science" facebook idiots who think science is a someone staring intently at a beaker as they swish it in circles.

ArbitraryC posted:

No I mean the actual definition of temperature is incompatible with the idea of there being negative temperatures and the reason Kelvin (or Rankine lmao) is necessary is as our understanding of thermodynamics increased this discrepancy became irreconcilable with the math associated with these fields. Celcius is just as made up and dumb unit of temperature measurement as farenheight is. If a country was using a scale with absolute zero they could get smug about it but afaik none do, everyone just uses something arbitrary that made sense at the time of invention for whatever reason and stuck around due to convenience.

He is right, everyone should be using Kelvin and pascals because absolute measurements are the best

2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

comparing the us to the WHO european region, it has about twice as many cases of food poisoning. the WHO european region includes not only europe proper, but also the entirety of russia, turkey, the caucasus, and central asia, making americans about 7 times more likely to poison themselves/each other.

you can also see it in popular culture, where americans talk about "stomach flues" like it's a perfectly normal thing that doesn't warrant a comment

This shows how ignorant you are of American culture, most people get food poisoning eating out so they are technically poisoning themselves in someone else's kitchen.
