  • Haha it wasn’t sturdy when it was new, what a design. I guess it’d be okay for small children (reaching sink to brush teeth, that sort of thing.). I’d still reinforce because that one time an adult steps on it’s gonna bear trap their legs.

    That said, this would be super neat as like a planter holder or something - pure decoration. A fresh coat of something to make the character lines pop. I’m amateur as it gets and would probably varathane it lol so don’t ask me how.

    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.
