And if anyone’s wondering that’s 116°F in more normaler units
Edit: it’s a multi layered joke guys chill. Joke is Americans can’t read, the °F is in the title. The other joke is that American grammar is shit
Nearly 320K in the normalest units.
It's exactly 1 in a new unit I just invented, it's called 46.6˚C. So it's 1 46.6˚C. And currently it's nice 0.3 46.6˚C here.
You talking about 0.028 eV?
That's 576R in a unit the Jedi wouldn't tell you.
German actually.
YOU SHUT UP! FAHRENHEIT WAS AN AMERICAN! LIKE GALILEO!

I loled. Fuck the haters
Lemmy can be pretty hostile to non-European standards. It's weird... I wonder if Europeans are just using more accounts than Americans, and stacking votes.
If not... Then yikes, if Lemmy is losing the American audience, that's bad news, friends.
Celsius and Fahrenheit are both European units. It's just that Fahrenheit is used by less than 5% of the world's population, so it's completely reasonable to expect a post title on an international website like this to use Celsius.
To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is "really fucking cold" and 100 degrees is "really fucking hot." So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as "yeah that's way too fucking hot for a phone."
This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.
Are you stupid? Lemmy isn't hostile to the US. We are hostile to idiots who do not recognize standards. That this includes most of the US is just a coincidence.
You sure are worked up about this. Why? Calm down, bud.
I am 0 Kelvin calm
We've had enough of USdefaultism over there on reddit.
Yes, every European has at least 3 lemmy accounts, as required by the European constitution.
There are a lot more Europeans online than Americans (not to mention a few billion internet users on other continents), so when Americans post temperatures exclusively in Fahrenheit it comes across as kinda thoughtlessly parochial.
Lol, second comment this morning I've seen someone complaining about their fundamentally incorrect statement is recieving "unfair" hostility...
No, you're just wrong and people downvoted you because of it
You know if my phone suddenly reached 116 Celsius I'd have bigger problem that those.
115C is a 600W GPU's throttle temp. I would love to see an iPhone pull off 600W with a battery.
