2020-01-24 at 2:48 AM UTCHuh? Pigs blood is 100 degrees, humans are 98.
Of course they don't want to base 100 degrees off of human blood. They'd have to make a few sacrifices to make sure their thermometers are correct. -
2020-01-24 at 2:49 AM UTCWell the Germans are kind of known for experimenting in humans so

2020-01-24 at 2:50 AM UTCyall niggas don't even know shit about ABSOLUTE ZERO

2020-01-24 at 2:55 AM UTCNormal human body temp is 98.6. But there are various medical studies that suggest it should be 97.5. I guess the 98.6 came about in the 1800s, and people’s health were different with a life expectancy of 50. Don’t know how a humans body temp would change, I’ll have to read more about it.

This is a myth. People age roughly the same now as they did hundreds of years ago. Life expectancy was different because there was so much infant mortality which skews the data. Not to mention being much more likely to die from environmental factors like wildlife, weather, etc.
Humans are anatomically identical now to how they were back then. The main change is how we’ve learned to control our environment better to decrease the likelihood of premature death by external causes. Modern medicine and diet have only had a marginal impact to life expectancy. -
2020-01-24 at 3:20 AM UTCnah i think it really helps a lot
-
2020-01-24 at 3:20 AM UTCAlso 98.6 is still the average human temperature, it’s just more well known now that what’s “normal” for each person can vary widely. Anywhere between 97-99 can be “normal” for any one individual

2020-01-24 at 5:40 AM UTCHow do you measure what day it is in metric?

universal my ass.
ive spoken to frenchies and germans who could barely speak a full sentence in english.

sign language is universal. englishes are not, -
2020-01-24 at 7:18 AM UTCwe'd be all good if people just adopted the decimeter.
some spicy italians i met used millimeters for literally everything which was alright after a couple days.
i see this trend from my wage cage:
0-30mm - use mm's
30mm-250mm - use dm's
250+mm's - use m's
working in canada was the most fucked:
>use metric and imperial interchangeably for distances
>speeds are metric unless they're drunk or on drugs then all of a sudden everythings in mph ??
>date formats... the people that arent idiots use 2020-01-05, while everyone else uses 01/05/20, 5/10/20 (!?) or something
>weights are exclusively imperial until its over or half of a metric ton -

Oh so this encounter is where you got your name from....
Wait a second why do you have random foreign people begging you for water? What are you doing to them -

2020-01-25 at 8:46 AM UTCYes we do have a funny situation in Canada. Officially metric. Gas stations and road signs are. Hospital visits are.
Construction sites aren't. We get a lot of building materials from the USA and ship a lot to the USA. If we started manufacturing plywood and 2x4s in metric we'd fuck up our markets.
When I do framing work, I'll use standard. When I'm doing tile work (or working with tile which are 600mm etc.) I'll use metric. Not to mention the tiling tools are all in metric as they're European.
I do wish the USA could finally just go metric so we can get it over and done with. -
2020-01-25 at 8:53 AM UTCMaybe you faggots should go imperial

In a new study, researchers from Stanford University argue that Wunderlich's number was correct at the time but is no longer accurate because the human body has changed. Today, they say, the average normal human-body temperature is closer to 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

2020-01-25 at 12:44 PM UTCThe single and only reason the crony capitalists brought in the metric system was to play games with sizes and prices and suck more billions out of people through the resulting confusion, and it worked perfectly. These worthless bags of shit are very, very clever.

All 3 of your links cite the same Standford University study. Posting it 3 times doesn’t give any extra weight to your argument.
But I guess they do make a pretty convincing case that maybe the reason the average temperature has changed is because the average metabolism has changed. Today we live almost entirely in climate-controlled environments and are less likely to work physically intensive jobs as we were back then. And perhaps this has led to a decrease in the average person’s basal metabolic rate.
However, this study only included individuals in the US, which contrary to what you may think is not a proxy for the entire human race. If you take the average of EVERYBODY in the world, I would think the number would probably not have changed that drastically from historical values. Maybe a little bit not as much as this study shows. Most people in the rest of the world don’t live as decadently as we do here in the US -
2020-01-25 at 4:17 PM UTCAll these institutions get billions from the very people who are driving the hoax. How can they be impartial or to be trusted? Well, they can't. Not while they have material gain. Real science is impartial and not compromised.

You know absolutely nothing about the scientific method or what peer-reviewed studies are. No one cares about your opinion on the subject -
