An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

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 are actually upvoted, it's just shown in Celsiusvotes.

277 degrees? RIP

277 kelvin would be a nice temperature tho

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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:
