I thought this thread archived.

>The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley in the United States.
It seems like Western/Southern USA is extremely hot. It's 42°C (108°F) in Las Vegas right now. I heard about car plates and shoes melting in Arizona before as well.

a cheese that is maggot poop

 No.129251

>Texelse schapenkaas. This cheese was made in the 16th and 17th centuries on the island of Texel. One of the more surprising ingredients was the juice of boiled sheep’s poo which gave it is characteristic colour (green) and taste (sharp). It also helped keep the cheese. This practice was discontinued in the 1930s but you can still buy the poo-less variety.

>site mascots are strangely missing from kissu and related sites.

I tried a brainstorming thread once, but it never really took off. It has to be organic and stuff and it just never materialized. We agreed on basic traits like nekomimi and a belly and uhh... was that it? It wasn't enough to enough to build a "kissu-tan" on. We kind of lack artists also, so meh. If it happens, it happens, but it probably won't.

Creating good mascots has the steep requirement of knowing how to draw and there aren't a whole lot of artists on imageboards apart from on drawfag threads on cutiechan.

Funny, back when all these old ibs were relevant many people had ridiculous media editing skills but nobody could code for shit.

Meanwhile I'd bet hard cash to half this board having senior positions in tech.

We've had a few artists show up a few times over the years, but they tend to evaporate in spectacular fashion. Think of those Japanese artists that stub their toe so they decide to wipe out their 15 year old accounts across various sites. People do suffer for their art...

Mark my words, as soon as I've gotten good at Japanese and have more free time I'm picking up drawfagging as my next co-existing hobby so I can be a certified shitcode nihongo drawfag otaku. A jack of all otaku trades, master of none.

I'm only gonna practice drawing lolis though.

1 g of TNT, when detonated, releases the same amount of energy required to heat 1 kg of water by 1°C.

Next time you're boiling a pot of water, consider how much TNT you would need to bring it to a boil !

it's based on working in a lab but it's retarded when you're actually in the field because there is no way you're going to measure to the centimeter

 No.137198

>>137197
For the average person who will never see a lab, the Metric system makes more intuitive sense than the Imperial "system"(?) ever will.
You know what water is.
You know what ice is.
You know what steam is.
One liter of water is one kg.
The point where water turns to ice -1 C.
The point where ice turns to water is 0 C.
The point where water turns to steam is 100 C.
Don't want to think about orders of magnitude? Just move the decimal point. No calculation necessary.
Same principle holds for all other base units. Imagine hating elegance.

Most people mainly use measurement to measure food so a better system would be to use foods like sugar cubes or american cheese squares as the basis for a new, better imperial measurement system. Temperature should be based on how hot meat needs to cook to kill the germs and parasites in it.
