That is what I was getting, yes
HollowNaught@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groupsEnglish1·3 days agoIm very sorry, but I cannot in any sane logical line of reasoning think as to why people would say 1/3 Americans live in New York, even if they just blurted out a random number
The fact I recognise those thighs says a lot about me

HollowNaught@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focusEnglish1·5 days agoYes, but there’s a huge degree of bias whenever you ask people anything. Obviously teachers are going to think phones are detrimental to class focus, and thus they’re more likely to say their ban helped with that same focus

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.
Moths be like:
Ah, so 32° is when an unknown concentration of human brine freezes, and 98.6° is the average human temperature
