    They are both made up but what is the fahrenheit? Where does the scale start? How much does it increment by? How does it relate to other units?

    Celcius starts at the melting point of water at sea level and each increment is 1% of the required change to turn water from frozen to boiling. This is arbitrary yes, but the importance is not if it’s arbitrary but that it is a description of a physical property in our world that can be experimentally repeated, tested and verified. No authority can arbitrarily decide that a degree Celcius is actually different from what it was last year.

    There’s a reason that all imperial units are scientifically described by their relation to their metric counterpart and it’s because metric units are based on physical properties of the universe around us and so we can measure them as opposed to just define them.

    “Genetic and phenotypic (environmental factors) differences also contribute to a country’s having a higher diabetes population than other countries. But this becomes all the more relevant in countries in South Asia, where these factors are also accompanied by weight gain due to childhood nutrition choices and foetal development.”

    “The report also pitches for increasing the financial accessibility of people towards buying healthy food like fruits and vegetables. This is important for countries like India, because the last ‘State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World’ report said that as many as half of Indians (55%) are not able to afford a healthy diet.”

    FYI posting a source without reading it makes you look like a dumbass

    Is everyone in this thread stupid?

    I have only ever heard this from young women after seeing an especially cute kid. Saying stuff like “oh my god my ovaries” after watching a child do something cute/endearing. In no way is it a pedophilic phrase, it’s a somewhat TMI way of expressing a desire for motherhood. (Just out of curiosity as someone with no desire for children and no ovaries, can any cis-women confirm or deny this as being a physical experience/ sensation or is it just an expression)

    If the game has parental themes I could see the phrase being used by a woman in a totally innocuous way.

    E: ah it’s the circlejerk sub. I’ve been master baited. fuck

    Here is my explanation, first I will introduce a scene from the movie to help explain.

    Before the second pass of the airport heist when the protagonist and Neil are in the shipping container the protagonist starts noticing a wound manifesting on his arm and then it starts to bleed. Later in the fight with himself from the first pass of the heist he is stabbed in the arm but since he is moving backwards in time him being stabbed heals the wound. From his perspective he is stabbed directly in the wound and then the blade is pulled out and he is healed.

    What I want to highlight is when the wound starts manifesting itself in the shipping container. This is not the natural healing process happening in reverse as one might initially assume. I have 2 reasons for thinking this.

    1. The wound manifests much faster than the body would take to heal. The bleeding starts happening way too soon before he is stabbed.

    2. His entire body is moving backwards in time. The main character does not materialise a chocolate bar out of his mouth when trying to eat.

    What this means is that the wound that is manifesting on his arm is being caused by some unexplained phenomenon as a result of reverse entropy objects interacting. Not by his body healing in reverse, not by him being stabbed (because the stab heals him)

    To extrapolate this to the glass window that takes a reverse entropy bullet. Here is the order of events from the perspective of a standard entropy glass window.

    1. The glass is manufactured and installed (no bullet hole in the glass)

    2. A bullet hole is manifested in the glass by the reverse entropy phenomenon. This scatters the glass for later.

    3. A reverse entropy bullet flies through the broken glass window and it is repaired.

    This can be seen in the car chase scene as well. The mirror of the BMW is in perfect condition. During the chase but before it collides with anything the mirror starts getting more and more damaged until eventually being hit by a reverse entropy object and returning to perfect condition. I believe that in the logic of the movie when a standard entropy object interacts with a reverse entropy object some of the reverse entropy properties are passed on to the standard entropy object that makes it manifest the damage done to it, or alternatively makes it repair the damage done to it depending on your perspective.

    I may not be explaining this as well as I would like to. Please ask questions about parts that don’t make sense. I love thinking about this sci-fi premise and I’m pretty confident I have a consistent (though perhaps not realistic) explanation.
