As I understand it, yes it was a saturated solution.

You're totally correct that Celsius is the more sensible scale with easier to replicate reference points (when using water). It was also invented almost 30 years after the Fahrenheit scale and with all the insights gained from that period of technological advancement. In fact in the modern day the Celsius degree size is defined in reference to the Boltzmann constant since Celsius is essentially the Kelvin scale with the numbers moved around.

It also used 100 as the freezing point of water and 0 as the boiling point when originally proposed, which changed after Anders Celsius died because everyone knew that was a weird way to do it.

It makes no sense because that's not what the 0 of the Fahrenheit scale is. The 0 point is the coldest an ammonium chloride brine mixture can be cooled to. The 90 point was an estimated average for human body temperature (it was adjusted up over time). These were chosen because the goal of the scale was to provide a way for people to have a defined temperature scale with a range and degree size that could be reliably reproduced without passing around standardized tools. 100 is really hot because human bodies were used as a reference for the high end, but the low end has nothing to do with the human body.

This same fungal infection causes the males to have sex until their butts fall off, so I'm pretty sure some humans would seek it out.

Do you go to restaurants and complain there is food there? This is a place for linux memes.

The health benefits are overblown and the evidence is largely from flawed studies. While not as debilitating as clitoris circumcision, it's still genital mutilation and it's regularly done in the US for no good reason beyond cultural pressure.

You'll need a slit or other small opening at the top aimed up and might want the hemispheres to have overlapping edges. The very small seam between the spheres is what projected the AoE kill zone in the original design. In this case that would mostly hit dirt.

The dev is also very responsive if you reach out with any issues.

Check out Shelter. It will allow you to leverage the work profile feature for yourself.

I think your tone and intent is being misread as somehow being against this being posted, unfairly.

Yeah the main lesson I've taken away from the last decade of cryptocurrency instability, NFTs, and things like algorithmically generated judicial sentencing guidelines that perpetuated the existing racial biases while making them seem more legitimate because "the computer can't be wrong" is that we should run our whole society with them.

Regardless of my agreement with the content... This isn't a meme, it's just a gif of a video but worse.
