    I remember that discussion, I kicked it off. However, a. memes like this here still get more up- than downvotes and b. I still don’t like those posts so I will post memes like this when I feel sm-screenshot posts are rising in numbers too much and c. there is still no community to go to for people who don’t want such posts in their meme community.

    The problem is that there are no meme communities on Lemmy of comparable size that do not allow screenshots of witty social media posts/comments.

    I wouldn’t even count these as memes, but we already had that discussion. Some people think everything is a meme and that everything can be posted here, some disagree. The problem is there’s no space for those who disagree. And I’ve even seen it that people who don’t want these screenshots go and create their own community (or rather subreddit to be specific) but when it got sizeable enough, too many people don’t care about why that sub was founded, and the sm screenshots were everywhere again.

    There are however numerous large enough communities that allow or even specialize in that kind of content, so is it really asked too.much to move it to those communities?








  • On a day-to-day base it’s really just about what you’re being used to. Who cares about granularity in weather forecast? You get out of the shadow and it’s too hot for a jacket.
    Also, weather is not the only daily use of tenperature, look at cooking and baking where younhave much higher temperatures and always go beyond 100°F.

    The Fahrenheit scale has only one point of reference for people and that is not 100.

    Fahrenheit (the scientist) determined 0° at the coldest stable temperature he could achieve with a mixture of water, ice and ammonium chloride, then set the mean healthy body temperature (as it was known at that time, modern measuring equipment is more precise) at 96° and then as a third reference set 32° as the freezing point of water.
    The reference points were later changed to 32° for water freezing and 180° higher at 212° for water boiling due to Anders Celsius work and influence.

    Everything about this looks just random and devoid of any logic. Celsius for his scale referenced the temperatures at which water changes state and Kelvin uses the Celsius scale but sets 0 at the point of literally no energy. Behind both is an idea easily to grasp.




  • I don’t know if we have enough evidence to make such claims tbh. In our solar system, half the planets are rocks with a metal core (riffs playing in the background), the other half are gas giants. Among the gazillion moons though, there are some ice moons (like Titan and Europa), Venus only has no oceans because it is too hot, Mars has a volcanic past and may be warmer had it a thicker athmosphere and has polar ice caps, etc. There is a lot going on on these “barren rocks” and a lot of them being barren rocks could be due to them being located outside the goldilock zone.




  • In german, space billionaires would be a single, combined noun (Weltraummilliardäre) while space billionaires would be two separate words, a verb and a noun (Milliardäre verteilen) or, in the spirit of the meme, even more words (Milliardäre in den Weltraum aussetzen/dem Weltraum aussetzen).
