    37.78 Celsius for those who don’t know freedom units offhand (including me, I had to search the conversion).

        It’s actually based on emperor penguin huddle temperature, humans just happen to have the same temp.

        It’s actually Mr. Fahrenheit’s wife’s body temperature on one particular day. Luckily she happened to be human.

          for some people it’d be a pretty hefty fever, iirc my body temp is 36°C

      If you’re going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I’d say that wherever that number came from, it’s precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let’s just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you’d said 37.7°C I wouldn’t have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).

      You’re all probably saying, “Who cares? Why do you care? Aren’t you just being any even more annoying pedant?”

      I do. I don’t know. Probably.

      But, if you’re going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.

        Wasn’t trying to be a smartass. It’s just that it’s 37.777 repeating, so 37.78 I think gets the point across. I’ll include proper significant figures when it’s necessary for actual scientific work.

        Since you’re trying to be more scientific about it, shouldn’t it be represented in SI units in the first place…?

        Also, it’s science memes.

      0° Fahrenheit is human body temperature.

      0° F is an ice and salt mix below freezing.

      You bet they used to but those populations dies off and those who didn’t crush themselves survives. That’s called evolution.

      According to my expert knowledge bestowed upon me from my viewings of the movie Happy Feet, the females are all off doing food hunting things while the dudes are keeping the eggs warm during the blizzards.
