An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

How about that? Did you expect a hamster in infrared?

On the contrary, this is exactly what I expected to see in the comments of this post.
Just because nobody asked:
Love that curious raised ear. Did you also measure how much of a good boy they are?

That's some hot ass pussy!
Actually I was just about to
I have a phone with a thermal imager too!
I mostly use it to brag to people about how I have a phone with a thermal imager!
But here is a demonstration that glass will reflect a bit of thermal radiation, but is completely opaque to thermal behind it:
As long as you aren't touching the glass, wherein the glass will conduct your thermal signature:
And then if you take the hand away, the signature remains on the glass for several minutes!
As a bonus, my phone also has a microscope, and I learned that my facial hair is sometimes triangular:
Ooh that's pretty rad!

None of these cameras measure things in Kelvin, the only temperature scale that matters. Disappointing.
They do actually, it's just that they convert it to Celsius right before displaying the value on the screen
It doesn't count if you can't see it!
Kelvin is the only legitimate way to measure temperature. Everything else is trivia. Duh.
Edit: I don't have time for your downvotes. It's 277 degrees outside and I don't have a clean sweater.
You mean you don't use an anglometer to measure degrees?
You are actually upvoted, it's just shown in Celsiusvotes.
I should have realized!
277 degrees? RIP
277 kelvin would be a nice temperature tho
I just said Kelvin was the only legitimate way to measure temperature. Of course 277 degrees Kelvin.
I was making a joke, if a pedantic one. You don't measure Kelvin in degrees, it's not °K, it's just K. So 4 degrees Celsius is 277 kelvin.
Ohh two can play that game, your cited resolution has been superseded in 1967~

Edit: and for extra pedantry, the unit is spelled lowercase, the temperature scale uppercase c:
ROFL!
Looking for a phone with this, a Geiger counter, and a light spectrum analyzer
Also a hardware keyboard, headphone jack, and runs Linux
Ok so you want a cyberdeck

Check where the heat loss is occurring in your house.
For fucks sake
I can't believe you've done this
Is this loss?
I'm so sorry for your heat :(
This post has been stellar.

You can't not say what phone has FLIR. Need details please! lol
There was a discontinued (and discounted) CAT phone I was looking at a while back. The phone itself was mostly unimpressive, but it did have a decent FLIR camera which is why I was looking at it.

I'm so glad I don't have one. I can't imagine the amount of time I'd waste play acting splinter cell.
too bad they never released a game after chaos theory.
Now, this technology is new to me, but I believe that's Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly. His body temperature has risen to 400 degrees. He's literally stewing in his own juices!

Do you own any "Hot Wheels" toy cars? If so, how hot actually are those wheels?
In the absence of "Hot Wheels" toy cars, I'd also be interested in other objects which claim to be hot, but likely aren't i.e. a "Hot Topic" clothing item, or bottle of "Hot Sauce".
No wheels or topics here, but a whole collection of hot sauces straight from the fridge
A drop of Tha Bomb: Beyond Insanity on a plate also looks quite disappointing
However, put some of that straight into my mouth and let me tell you, I'm in a world of regrets right now.
