If you're feeling extra spicy, upvote someone else's comment and reply to it. Or reply to it without upvoting. Or upvote every other comment in a chain. Have real-life arguments. Anything to simulate a struggle session.
I've been agitating for a while now about the active sort algorithm being broken since downvotes were removed, and a few days ago I remember seeing a post in the modlog that had a lot of comments but that I hadn't seen on the front page. I want to test whether or not the algorithm was tweaked to deprioritize posts with a lot of comments and relatively few upvotes.
If this change has been made, o7 to the devs
EDIT: Okay maybe give it a few upvotes to get it started in the algorithm, but let it top out at like 25
Imagine thinking 0-100 makes less sense than -18 to 38 lmao
But Celsius is simple. Below 0 is freezing. 0-10 is chilly but fine. 10 to 20 is slightly cold. 20 is room temp. 20-30 is slightly warm. 30+ is hot. 40+ is very hot. It's not some random measurement of a foot mixed with the bile of a goat like American measurement systems are based on.
You'll never catch me defending any American system that isn't Fahrenheit. Fuck feet and pounds.
Memorizing "32 = freezing" is a small price to pay for 0 being very cold and 100 being very hot. Do I look like a glass of water to you?
Still rather have my measurement system actually based on something. Also I've used Celsius all my life so.
On a related note the only good American measurement system is horsepower because it sounds cool for race cars. Saying your racecar has 1000 horsepower is much cooler than saying that it has 740 kilowatts.
Hot take: "Actually based on something" doesn't matter. Hell, feet are more actually based on something than meters since a foot is pretty close to the length of some people's feet, whereas a meter is based on 5x10^21 lengths of hydrogen atoms or some other unusable bullshit like that. But I agree that it mostly boils down to what you were raised with.
True but calculations and stuff is much easier with metric units like Celsius and meters, at least for me.
Meters, yes. Celsius, no.
Unless you're converting to Kelvin, which is easier for Celsius, but I'm not advocating using Fahrenheit for scientific purposes.
You're right at the end of the day it just comes down to what you're used to. And with the internet being so US centric I've had to learn both systems. But damn there are some weird ones, look at grains when measuring bullet weight for example.
Again:
The only American system I give a shit about preserving is Fahrenheit. The rest can eat shit.
I know I'm just trying to pad the discussion to boost the post on the active sort algorithm
Comment! I'm angry at you and trying to start a struggle session! Onlookers should only only upvote my comments in this exchange to simulate a real struggle session where some opinions are good and others are bad!
