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

      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.
