dafuq is bouba and kiki
thanks mate, didn’t think to actually Google it (I thought it was gonna be some made up rizz rizz fr fr skibiti toilet shit)
It’s basically skibidi toilet for scientists.
I hate this so much, but I can’t do anything but agree.
Afraid to chase information just in case it makes you feel out of touch
all words are made up
I remember learning about bouba/kiki in grade 1… until today, I assumed all kids did!
“wet bulb” isn’t a term that’s eerie and unsettling to anyone else?
Should be renamed “drop dead temperature”, as in
When the drop dead temperature exceeds body temperature, people drop dead.
I visited Madrid a weak ago+, should be 36°C @20% humidity, no biggie right?
Madrid the city itself is a heat spot (no trees, asphalt, stone, AC outlets…), it was 8.5°+ compared to surrounding areas, we were all sick like.
Why would you not communicate things like that in weather apps/web sites? Even the hygrometry isn’t always reported, or for 24h when temperature is changing wildly hour to hour (so hygro too)…
at least it’s not “moist”
Wet bulb = permamoist
The meaning behind it is terrifying, but the words themselves are way too, well, bouba

Wet bulb is terrifying because it reminds me of my thermodynamics class
Most people never have a thermodynamics class though. To them “wet bulb” sounds like a piece of medical equipment.
No offense, but to the uninformed, wet bulb could as easily evoke images of spring flowers in cool spring morning dew.
It’s what the media does to make you feel like it’s not that big of a deal.
Do you remember when it used to be called global warming instead of climate change…
I think we mostly stopped using that term because conservative idiots keep saying “it got cold outside once so global warming isn’t real”
Interesting
