"You're holding it wrong"

I bet they're foreshadowing a large ban wave. Big scoop probably happening in the background. That's how "it's live" will be announced.

Fuck it. I'm inventing a new scale.

Behold! "Disagree Degrees". We're going to combine the best traits of the other units. No more searching for the stupid little degree character in the character map. D for degrees or disagrees - whatever, I don't give a shit.

0D = 0K (Like Kelvin, no negatives! That's so dumb!) 0.4D = -40 C and -40 F 1D = Water Freezing point (Need a consistent point of scale) 10D = "Pleasant temperature" 100D = Kind of hot 500D = Really hot for people (>40C or >100F) "It's like 500 disagrees out there!" 1000D= Water boiling (To match the freezing temp) 1,000,000,000,000D = Surface of the sun

Good luck on the math converting to other units, this temperature scale isn't about being useful for nerd stuff, it's all about appealing to our emotions.

Oh, way to move the goal posts!

Basically - fuck this person, right?

Yeah, I can imagine the locals would tell the younglings "don't play near the Sarlaac Pit! It'll eat you for a thousand years!"

Well we know Tatooine orbits a pair of stars somehow and it's still in the Goldilocks zone just enough to make it semi habitable still. My assumption is that these are white dwarfs or something smallish.

Could this be explained that the local year is much shorter? Add in that Hutt is well versed in his own biology which assuming a he isn't strangled by a tentacle, could be slowly digested alive for a 1000 Tatooine years? He probably forgets that about his pathetic cute biped pets.

No seriously what is significant about 0F? I live in a place that sees a lot of negative F too.

It's so arbitrary. If it was 0 at freezing water and 100 at human body temp I'd understand it but no, it's literally nothing significant in people's lives. It has no tangible anchor.

It's purely emotion keeping it around.

The meme faces are backwards on this one.

It's depressing that this will likely be true in 2064.

LED lighting. Usually can adjust to whatever color lighting you like. Pure aesthetic value, no actual benefit to the performance of the machine itself.

Break up the mega corps. Enact user privacy-by-default laws. Market dominance via "free product" followed up by bait and switch tactics should be outlawed.

And my axe!
