    Wow.

    It’s zero degrees here in June.

    Weird.

      How did you hear negative chirps?

      Can I learn this power?

    Glad to know it’s America and crickets that find fahrenheit more convenient for temperature.

      I think that’s how we got fahrenheit.

        Actually it was originally based on the freezing temperature of a brine and human body temperature.

          Ah, so 32° is when an unknown concentration of human brine freezes, and 98.6° is the average human temperature

          What am I even reading any more

            I think the brine probably froze at 0° F, which ended up correlating to 32° F for regular water. And the body temperature at 100° F ended up correlating to 212° F for water to boil. That’s the way I understand it anyway.

              Fahrenheit temperature scale, scale based on 32° for the freezing point of water and 212° for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 equal parts. The 18th-century physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit originally took as the zero of his scale the temperature of an equal ice-salt mixture and selected the values of 30° and 90° for the freezing point of water and normal body temperature, respectively; these later were revised to 32° and 96°, but the final scale required an adjustment to 98.6° for the latter value.

    I feel like parentheses don’t belong in explaining math if they aren’t used appropriately.

      30 chirps + (added to) 40 = 70

    I was expecting some kind of Duckworth-Lewis formula.
