Fahrenheit is better
(thelemmy.club)
Fahrenheit is bloody stupid
As a Briton who is throughly bilingual in units and mixes them liberally, Fahrenheit is just about the only one that reliably confuses me. In the past tabloids would put cold temperatures in Celsius and hot temperatures in Fahrenheit to make them sound more impressive but that’s not really a thing these days.
To be fair I can kind of get it if I’d grown up with it, zero is ‘I need my foul weather gear on’ and 100 is ‘bloody hot summers day’ which on a human level beats the Celsius zero is ‘water freezes’ and 100 is ‘you are dead’ but the convenience of water freezing at zero is just too much.
Like my dicks or normal size ones because there’s a huge difference
Actually, it's based off the erect dick length of King Charls III on a temperate day rounded up with an additional 2.5 inches added in to seem impressive.
Well color me impressed
I love how this can go either way.
ARE THEY HARD OR SOFT
Almost certainly soft. Maybe some wealthy eccentric would frame their house in expensive hard wood as a flex, but wood framed construction is almost exclusively softwood. It grows much more quickly, is easier to work with, and is plenty strong. I wouldn't frame a house in anything but good old-reliable Douglas Fir.
I think by definition a woody is hard
Indeed
Work 242: n off is n off
In a row?
Try not to suck any dicks on the way to the lumber yard!
No in a line
Ah, linear dicks instead of board-dicks.
Board-foot-dicks is a very specific genre.
The measurements will change whenever it gets cold.
so you are saying those beams cross each other an angle of 194 fahrenheit
Correct
Yes but is it a NIST Dick or a ASTM Dick?
Ancient Mesopotamian Dicks, European King Dicks or NIST Dicks?
Yep
It's only 121 in my case ahahaabahavajej oh god no it's at least three hundred i'm so sorry.
Like, end to end or next to each other?
Maximum tip-to-tip efficiency or it's back to apprenticeship with you!
Yes
I'm never gonna ask you for directions ....
Q: "Do I go Left or Right?"
A: "yes!"
Correct
White, black, or Asian?
American
THAT DOES NOT NARROW IT DOWN IN THE SLIGHTEST
In that case, converted to the metric system, 242 Dicks would be about 62cm.
~~American~~ yes
ftfy
We all know it takes more American dicks to measure a 2x4.
