"Mercury is the only metallic element that is known to be liquid at room temperature."

Uh aktually, gallium melts at 29.7646 °C/​85.5763 °F, which isn't even that hot.

In chemical engineering, "standard" conditions, or just a fancy term for room temperature and ambient pressure, it's 25C (77F) and 100 kPa.

The shed I'm living in ranges between 5 and 48 degrees C >.>

If I remember correctly from when I studied chemistry (it's been a bit) the typical standard there is 25c. That is hotter than typical room temp as far as how people use that colloquially though.

The ideal room temp, IMO, is 20c. Anything over that starts to get hot and sweaty. 25 is very uncomfortably hot

Room temperature is the temperature range that my medications say they should be stored at. I know it’s written down in the little booklets that come with them but I’m not gonna go find them rn

I keep the temp at 69F in winter and 76F in summer

obama-socialism 74F is room temperature and I WILL lose my shit if you are my roommate and turn it down below that. NO, it is not hot enough in here to dip it below 72F turn on a fan!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I have to turn on a fan, its too hot. If I have to put on a sweater, its too cold.

thankfully 74 is neither hot nor cold and I live in what is arguably a hellhole of a state in the summertime

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

15 C, the most comfortable temperature

72F/22C. If I’m gonna be generous and give a range, 68F/20C - 76F/24C

Also damn you can fit like two whole degrees of Fahrenheit in a degree of Celsius

0 °C = 32 °F
10 °C = 50 °F
20 °C = 68 °F
30 °C = 86 °F
40 °C = 104 °F

super easy to convert

Also once you know that 0 °C = 32 °F and that ±1 °C = ±1.8 °F, the formula is easy: F = 32 + C * 1.8

whatever it is, it should be 5-10 degrees lower in summer and 5-10 degrees warmer in winter

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

it's the temperature your room's at, shitass /j

it's in the range of 20-25 °C, no clue what's that in burger units. to be honest 30 degrees isn't even that hot anymore, with summers getting longer and longer and also hotter, it might genuinely become the default room temperature someday.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

30c

jesus christ you sleep like that???

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

in summer pretty much yeah you have to although it's much more comfortable than the day temperature that's for sure.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

fuck that 30c is too hot for me to fall asleep properly

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

69°F obviously. it's the one measurement where the imperial/US system makes total sense.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)
