How to Use a Mercury Thermometer. Part of the series: Child Care & First Aid. To use a mercury thermometer, first shake down the mercury to the end of the thermometer before placing it under the tongue, under the arm or in the rectum, which is ideal for children under 4 years old. Then let the thermometer sit for two minutes to get an accurate temperature. Use a mercury thermometer, washing it thoroughly with soapy water between uses, with expertise from a registered nurse in this free video on first aid.

Script: As an Australian-Canadian the Fahrenheit temperature scale always seemsed a bit arbitrary. I mean why does water freeze at 32 degrees? And what exactly does zero represent? According to many sources the Fahrenheit scale was defined by setting zero degrees equal to the temperature of an ice, salt, and water mixture and 100 degrees being roughly equal to human body temperature. But that isn’t true.. The real story is much more interesting, and scientific…. August 14th 1701 was almost certainly the worst day in the life of fifteen year-old Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. On that day both of his parents died suddenly from mushroom poisoning. He was sent from Poland, where he lived, to Amsterdam to become an apprentice bookkeeper.. But Fahrenheit couldn’t stand his apprenticeship and ran away so many times his employers put out a warrant for his arrest. Traveling from city to city around Europe, he became fascinated with scientific instruments and in particular thermometers.. In 1708, possibly seeking help with the warrant, Fahrenheit met with the mayor of Copenhagen, who happened to be the famous astronomer Ole Romer.. Romer is known for observing the eclipses of Jupiter’s moons and realizing that variations in the timing of those eclipses was caused by the time it took light to reach Earth. In other words, he found a way to accurately measure the finite speed of light.. But more pertinent to this story, in 1702 Romer was housebound after breaking his leg. To pass the time he devised a new temperature scale with the freezing point of water at 7.5 degrees and body temperature at 22.5 degrees.. This might seem odd until you consider that Romer wanted the boiling point of water to be 60 degrees (as an astronomer, he had experience dividing things by 60). If you take this scale, divide it in half, in half again, and in half once more, you find the freezing point of water 1/8th up the scale, and human body temperature 3/8th up the scale.. So at their meeting in 1708, Fahrenheit learned of Romer’s temperature scale and adopted it as his own, adjusting it slightly because he found it “inconvenient and inelegant on account of the fractional numbers”. So he scaled them up to 8 and 24.. That is the original Fahrenheit scale. He produced thermometers for some time using this scale.. But then, at some later time Fahrenheit multiplied all numbers on his scale by four, setting freezing point to the now familiar 32 and body temperature to 96. It’s unclear exactly why he did this. He may just have wanted finer precision in his measurements but I think there was a better reason.. You see, Fahrenheit was an excellent instrument maker. His thermometers agreed with each other precisely, at a time when that was unheard of. He pioneered the use of mercury as a measuring liquid, which has the benefit of a much higher boiling point than the alcohol used in most other thermometers at the time. For these accomplishments, he was inducted into the British Royal Society.. And we know he read the works of Newton, Boyle, and Hooke, in which he would have come across the idea that a one degree increase in temperature should correspond to a specific fractional increase in the volume of the measuring liquid.. And today a one degree Fahrenheit increase in temperature increases the volume of mercury by exactly one part in 10,000. Is this just a coincidence? We’ll probably never know for sure because as an instrument maker Fahrenheit was secretive about his methods. But I think the data strongly suggests this was the case.. So what exactly did zero represent on the scales of Fahrenheit and Romer? By many accounts it’s the temperature of a salt, ice and water mixture. But there are different descriptions of these mixtures and none of them actually produces the temperature they’re supposed to. More likely I think they picked the coldest temperature in winter, set that as zero and later used ice and brine to calibrate new thermometers. Now his scale is only used regularly in the Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Belize, oh and the United States of America.

Scientifically speaking, Centigrade is not based on a useful or neutral absolute measure because water’s boiling and freezing point varies with pressure. 100°C/212°F is basically the boiling point in all European capital cities because they are situated around sea level so have an atmospheric pressure approximating 14.7 lbf/in2. But if you live in a high altitude capital city (common in Africa, South America and other parts of the world) then atmospheric pressure and thus water’s boiling point is lower (e.g. in Mexico City it’s 200°F (93°C) or in Addis Ababa 198°F (92°C)). The video’s claim that Fahrenheit is “arbitrary” whilst Centigrade is not reflects I’m afraid an implicit bias to a Western (European) frame of reference, which is not scientific.
An objective scientific measure would be to base temperature on Absolute zero — the point where no (heat) energy from molecular motion is available for transfer to other systems — as the Kelvin and Rankine scales do. But instead of a scientific argument for that, an otherwise beautifully animated video veers (at the very end) to a somewhat culturally imperialist argument for the conformity of the minority (the likes of Belize, Bahamas, Liberia etc) to the global majority. That sort of utilitarian argument for global efficiency, if successful, would of course also demand the abandonment of minority languages in favour of globally dominant language(s). But why would a homogenous world be truly better or more scientific? What is wrong with global and cultural diversity?
I like imperial system much better than metric. Fahrenheit is more accurate because it actually tells us what the actual height/temperature and everything is.
to me 1°F = 1/10000 increased volume of mercury, sounds very sientific. Much more than freezing and boiling water, that varies in temperature all over the world depending on altitude and air pressure…
When you already knew all this but your body is getting used to it from the sheer amount of times you’ve done it: ��️����️
Oh, and another tip (this one may hurt a bit if you have sensitive skin, but it won’t be very bad, promise) rub your forehead. If your parents don’t have a thermometer, they’ll commonly feel your forehead, and it honestly makes it feel like you’ve got e fever.
I guess it will be very difficult to the USA to use the metric system as all their industries work with F° Inch feet oz… The convertion of all instruments of measure will take many decades!
This is what Facebook and other social media are good for, to spread stupid ideas to ignorant people. A cell phone actually generates a lot more radiation than an IR thermometer. Look it up. Thank you for this report.
imagine thinking celcius is best because it’s more simple to understand freezing and boiling temperatures of water. I’m not gonna put a thermometer on some ice and be like “aw yes, negative 5. That makes sense.” I’m also not going to put a thermometer in water that is clearly bubbling and be like “109. perfect.”
You can go your whole life without needing easy numbers to remember the temperature of water. You can just look at it. Let celcius do things like weigh stuff or build a house. Saying celcius makes more sense because water exists is pretty stupid if you ask me.
I was just sitting and feeling well and just thought to check temperature, i have glass mercury thermometer i give in under arm and my temperature was 99.F exact after giving for 8 mins but same again i give for 5 mins and its showing 98.F is it normal or i have fever? Please reply i am worried
So the boiling point of water gets arbitrarily set at 60 because an astronomy guy likes 60, then this Fahrenheit guy alters this arbitrary scale slightly b/c he feels like it (didnt like fractions), and then he eventually arbitrarily multiplies everything by 4, giving us the very scientific Fahrenheit temperature that America knows and loves. Huh…
“The real history about the Fahrenheit scale is much more interesting and scientific”…”It’s unclear why exactly he did this, their methods were secret, BUT I THINK…” I see, very scientific… huh?
Come on, Americans won’t accept the Celsius over Fahrenheit scale. After all, these are the people who thought its a good idea to make Donald Trump their president!
This whole video is such a passive-aggressive jab to the USA (Don’t worry, I know we deserve it. Kudos to you, rest of the world! Your measurements actually make sense! And also, healthcare!)
Can’t still believe that i got cured from Genital Herpes through herbal treatment from Dr david who I met through the internet, I actually couldn’t believe it at first because it sounded impossible to me knowing how far I have gone just to get rid of it. Dr david send me his medicine which I took as instructed and here I am living a happy life once again, a big thanks to Dr david, I am sure there are many herbal doctors out there but Dr david did it for me, contact him [email protected] com or also whats app him +2347042992115
I tried toto do this and take the hot bath but i barley lasted 15 minutes before I felt like I was gonna pass out because I take cold showers it just didn’t work for me and when I was trying to stay under the blankets I just couldn’t get comfortable ������
This is another way, take a cold shower yes cold and then stay in a room with a turned on aircond about 2 5 minutes without drying urself or putting any cloths on
You said he was from Poland. THAT’S WRONG! He was from Danzig, which was then a very German speaking city in the German kingdom of Prussia. German, German, German, German. Nowadays the city of Gdansk (formerly Danzig) is part of Poland because Poland annexed it and ethnically cleansed it. But before then it was GERMAN GERMAN GERMAN.
I prefer the metric system when it comes to measuring length but I prefer imperial when it comes to temperature. I like the greater degree of precision with Farenheit because the increments represent smaller changes in temperature compared to Celsius, plus having 100 at the temperature of fever is very useful.

Nooo it is not the real story, here is how the real went: Fahrenheit was a very smart man, one day thought of: how mad can humans be?

This video had me question my sanity for the last hour and a half, since it made me come to the conclusion that water boils at 256 °F (it boils at 212°F) and i couldn’t find where my reasoning was wrong (water boils at 60 degrees Rømer, so 64° in the original Fahrenheit scale, times 4 it should be 256° in the modern one). Apparently the video was wrong at 1:33: in the Rømer scale body temperature is around 26.4 (21/40 x 36°C + 7.5), not 22.5. If it was then water would boil at 49 degrees, or would freeze at 1.5, so the progression from the Rømer scale to Fahrenheit is not the one decribed in the video, or is at least missing a step.
I’m honestly surprised no one realized this in the almost 4 years this video was out, and i didn’t even notice the first time i saw it.
as an american, i think we should all just switch to the metric system but fahrenheit is where i draw the line. it just makes more sense than celsius, even if i can’t spell it
Actually touching the mercury is the least of your concerns. Your main concern should be to make sure all of the mercury is picked up so you aren’t continuously inhaling it. Some dry ice to freeze the mercury so that all can be picked up is a good idea.
It being summer: Me: *turns off all fans and acs* Also me: *steals every single blanket* Another me: *puts on all the clothes I own* Me again: *closes all the windows* Me: I’m not sweating..
Mine was stored unused in the medicine cabinet for around 20 years. It’s hard to get that temp to shake down below a certain spot, it just won’t go down no matter what I do but it will go up under hot water. It just won’t shake down below a certain temp. I got frustrated last night and I’m just about the bust this thing into the trash because I worked on it for quite a while last night and I’m starting to wonder if the Mercury inside went bad in storage.
I came here to get an actual fever we don’t have no thermometer thingy, I already lied today and said I wasn’t feeling well and came home early from school��
I was waiting for your to confirm or deny that 100°F was set as the body temperature of a cow. I had heard that there were lots of dairy farms in the area and it was a convenient calibration standard. Well, not so convenient for the cow, but you see how it would be useful. Most mammal body temperatures are very close to 100°F.
Me: Laying in bed with my fan off, my huge fluffy blanket on top of me, and me wearing a super fluffy pair of onesies after I took a super hot burning bath. Stays up all night
Next day-
Me: “Hey mom, I’m not feeling too good, can I do online today instead of face to face?”
Mom: “No”
Me: “Please…. I mean look at me, I look like I just died then came back to life, I didn’t get any sleep last night, and I have a really bad fever”
Mom: “Ok, fine”
Me: “Thanks ᴹᴼᴹ…..”
Me: stays home for a month, doing online instead of face to face
So yesterday I felt sick and I went home and then I went to bed not feeling well but then when I woke up I was perfectly fine besides I had a really bad headache and my stomach started hurting every time I stood up and all I did was act sick and my guardian just said you look very pale you’re stay home I’m not gonna let you go out I didn’t really do much I just acted a little bit down from what I did feel like because I was able to get up and move around and do things.. I just needed a break from doing what I’ve done for the past month and if I just act a little bit down and when I felt like the day before then I’m pretty good on staying home and I did take some of your advice so thank you.
after 50 years of using fahrenheit, when dealing with computers I have to always do the math to convert celsius to fahrenheit. Yes celsius makes more logical sense, but my brain has learned temperature using fahrenheit.
I heard that with all the newest digital thermometers available today (e.g., WelchAllyn 692), the glass thermometer is hard to beat because there are no batteries, probes and probe covers to replace. My questions concern the accuracy and reliability of the old-school mercury thermometers. Despite waiting two minutes for the temperature from a mercury thermometer, is the reading accurate? Also, can I use a mercury thermometer for the rest of my life?
so lets change to Celsius literally all of america including me REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
the ferenhieght scale is better because in celsius 0 dosnt mean anything in a daily life and 100 just means your dead in ferenheight 100 is really hot 0 is really cold and it’s more useful for everyday understanding
0:32 (Picks up camera) omg guys my mom and dad died…It was a ghost…omg guys! I need to leave…OH OH! OMG GUYS THERE IS A GHOST BEHIND ME! IM RUNNING! OMG! LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE SO I DONT LIKE OMG GUYS!
Y’all I have a good one too, this works for me. Don’t drink ANY liquid for the whole day and do an extreme workout. That made me feel dizzy and it made me puke��
imma try to see if this worksdo note that i pretended to be sick the previous day,so it might be a little more believable, but if i don’t have a fever today then i’ll have to go, keep y’all updated 😉
1ok it’s 1:15am and i just got in the bath i feel like i’m being cooked
2omfg just got out of the bathi feel like i’m going to PASS OUT. i am 99% sure i have fever, i have to use the walls to even stand up, can’t type for too longi’m gonna get dressed in something that seems normal for sleep and wake my mom up to say i feel terrible. if i don’t have a fever i’ll continue the experiment, fingers crossed ��
3IT WORKEDIT WORKED SO WELL BRUHi had a fever of 100.5(f) and guess who’s staying home tomorrow:) it’s 2:08am rn, but there’s no way i have to go today.i went into my moms room told her that i felt bad so i took a both, after i got out i fell asleep for a little bit, and then i woke up in a sweat and felt terrible (i didn’t go to sleep or anything btw)
do note tho that i actually feel crazy rn, i’m head is pounding, my heart is pounding, and i can’t stand up without being supported by the wall or something. i went and got my temp checked like right after i got out of the bath, as soon as i sort of dried my hair and got dressed it was checked so that probably helped, and make sure to use ur sick voice! if you want ur temp to be higher you can press it as far back (under your tongue) as you can and it always comes out hotter
Mercury thermometers are considered to be the top notch in accuracy and stability. In theory, one can serve your family for generations – stops working only if someone breaks it. Alcohol thermometers on the other hand were never used for bodily measurements up until the mercury hysteria, only for less responsible jobs like measuring weather temp. Digital thermometers are the most problematic, not only they need batteries – they’re also the worst in accuracy.
so it’s 2 am and i gotta get up at 5 am for school and i can’t sleep but ik my mom will just say suck it up so imma try this but i have to skip the bath part. i already don’t feel good so wish me luck!
it might be believable cause my brother is sick rn
0:41 Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was neither Polish, nor were those the borders of Poland. If anything, you should be talking about the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. You should also explain that large parts of the area we know as Poland today, were once inhabited by a majority of Germans.
COVID-19, I have a lot, and I mean A LOT of homework that I haven’t finished yet. So? I’m becoming a freelancer and inducing a fever to stay home, then showing my parents the money that I’ve earned, and tell them to sign me up for a better school. Yes, I prefer becoming a freelancer rather than going to school, and yes, this is the most ambitious plan ever, and I even have money to use on myself. Time for me to stop using the 11 year old family computer, and I’m buying Minecraft as well.
Fahrenheit is just a pain in the arse to deal with, it doesn’t make much sense, it’s like trying to figure out distance using miles, trying to figure out several miles in metres slowly becomes harder to work out, whereas several km is easy to work out in metres, Celsius is a very simple and effective way to measure temperature, it’s basically kelvin but in more common temperatures to which we find everyday
so i’m going to try thisi am a little sick cause of my friend cause she came to school with a fever and all, i am kinda hot already, i will take a hot shower at 7PM it’s 5PM rn. anyways i’ll change into warm clothes. i think my mom will believe me cause i already told her 4hours ago i don’t feel good, i also have stayed up the whole night cause i couldn’t sleep i also sneezed a lot. i think it might work ^^ i hope i don’t forget about this

Fahrenheit makes the most sense. 98 degrees Fahrenheit sounds hot 55 degrees Celsius doesn’t sound hot Fahrenheit is just more intuitive

This video had me question my sanity for the last hour and a half, since it made me come to the conclusion that water boils at 256 °F (it boils at 212°F) and i couldn’t find where my reasoning was wrong (water boils at 60 degrees Rømer, so 64° in the original Fahrenheit scale, times 4 it should be 256° in the modern one). Apparently the video was wrong at 1:33: in the Rømer scale body temperature is around 26.4 (21/40 x 36°C + 7.5), not 22.5. If it was then water would boil at 49 degrees, or would freeze at 1.5, so the progression from the Rømer scale to Fahrenheit is not the one decribed in the video, or is at least missing a step.
I’m honestly surprised no one realized this in the almost 4 years this video was out, and i didn’t even notice the first time i saw it.
as an american, i think we should all just switch to the metric system but fahrenheit is where i draw the line. it just makes more sense than celsius, even if i can’t spell it
No but we in india still use
fahrenheit scale, and it’s wasy for me to understand using fahrenheit scale rather than celsius from body temperatures
Ok Im going to try this because i didnt do my homework Im gonna go prepare my hot bath I will keep you guys updated,
Edit 1: I am currently in the bath and it is so flipping hot in here
Edit 2: Im still in the bath and i hope this will work
Edit 3: i have been here for 22 mins
Edit 4: I am done and Im gonna go find my jacket and my socks to wear
Edit 5: My tempature is currently 37.1
school starts tomorrow and i have so much work to do but i gave up so here we are.
edit: i stayed at home and im planning on doing that for the rest of the week.
Actually touching the mercury is the least of your concerns. Your main concern should be to make sure all of the mercury is picked up so you aren’t continuously inhaling it. Some dry ice to freeze the mercury so that all can be picked up is a good idea.
It being summer:
Me: *turns off all fans and acs*
Also me: *steals every single blanket*
Another me: *puts on all the clothes I own*
Me again: *closes all the windows*
Me: I’m not sweating..

Mine was stored unused in the medicine cabinet for around 20 years. It’s hard to get that temp to shake down below a certain spot, it just won’t go down no matter what I do but it will go up under hot water. It just won’t shake down below a certain temp. I got frustrated last night and I’m just about the bust this thing into the trash because I worked on it for quite a while last night and I’m starting to wonder if the Mercury inside went bad in storage.
I came here to get an actual fever we don’t have no thermometer thingy, I already lied today and said I wasn’t feeling well and came home early from school��
I was waiting for your to confirm or deny that 100°F was set as the body temperature of a cow. I had heard that there were lots of dairy farms in the area and it was a convenient calibration standard. Well, not so convenient for the cow, but you see how it would be useful. Most mammal body temperatures are very close to 100°F.
I’ll stick to the smart guys who invented it. It may not be as easy for common people to grab as metric, but I guess that’s what set us apart.
Me: Laying in bed with my fan off, my huge fluffy blanket on top of me, and me wearing a super fluffy pair of onesies after I took a super hot burning bath. Stays up all night
Next day-
Me: “Hey mom, I’m not feeling too good, can I do online today instead of face to face?”
Mom: “No”
Me: “Please…. I mean look at me, I look like I just died then came back to life, I didn’t get any sleep last night, and I have a really bad fever”
Mom: “Ok, fine”
Me: “Thanks ᴹᴼᴹ…..”
Me: stays home for a month, doing online instead of face to face
Me: “IM SUCCESSFUL”
Also me: starts acting hyper
My mom: “Get dressed, were going to school”
So yesterday I felt sick and I went home and then I went to bed not feeling well but then when I woke up I was perfectly fine besides I had a really bad headache and my stomach started hurting every time I stood up and all I did was act sick and my guardian just said you look very pale you’re stay home I’m not gonna let you go out I didn’t really do much I just acted a little bit down from what I did feel like because I was able to get up and move around and do things.. I just needed a break from doing what I’ve done for the past month and if I just act a little bit down and when I felt like the day before then I’m pretty good on staying home and I did take some of your advice so thank you.
after 50 years of using fahrenheit, when dealing with computers I have to always do the math to convert celsius to fahrenheit. Yes celsius makes more logical sense, but my brain has learned temperature using fahrenheit.
I heard that with all the newest digital thermometers available today (e.g., WelchAllyn 692), the glass thermometer is hard to beat because there are no batteries, probes and probe covers to replace. My questions concern the accuracy and reliability of the old-school mercury thermometers. Despite waiting two minutes for the temperature from a mercury thermometer, is the reading accurate? Also, can I use a mercury thermometer for the rest of my life?
so lets change to Celsius literally all of america including me REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
the ferenhieght scale is better because in celsius 0 dosnt mean anything in a daily life and 100 just means your dead in ferenheight 100 is really hot 0 is really cold and it’s more useful for everyday understanding
0:32 (Picks up camera) omg guys my mom and dad died…It was a ghost…omg guys! I need to leave…OH OH! OMG GUYS THERE IS A GHOST BEHIND ME! IM RUNNING! OMG! LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE SO I DONT LIKE OMG GUYS!
Y’all I have a good one too, this works for me. Don’t drink ANY liquid for the whole day and do an extreme workout. That made me feel dizzy and it made me puke��
imma try to see if this worksdo note that i pretended to be sick the previous day,so it might be a little more believable, but if i don’t have a fever today then i’ll have to go, keep y’all updated 😉
1ok it’s 1:15am and i just got in the bath i feel like i’m being cooked
2omfg just got out of the bathi feel like i’m going to PASS OUT. i am 99% sure i have fever, i have to use the walls to even stand up, can’t type for too longi’m gonna get dressed in something that seems normal for sleep and wake my mom up to say i feel terrible. if i don’t have a fever i’ll continue the experiment, fingers crossed ��
3IT WORKEDIT WORKED SO
WELL BRUHi had a fever of 100.5(f) and guess who’s staying home tomorrow:) it’s 2:08am rn, but there’s no way i have to go today.i went into my moms room told her that i felt bad so i took a both, after i got out i fell asleep for a little bit, and then i woke up in a sweat and felt terrible (i didn’t go to sleep or anything btw)
do note tho that i actually feel crazy rn, i’m head is pounding, my heart is pounding, and i can’t stand up without being supported by the wall or something. i went and got my temp checked like right after i got out of the bath, as soon as i sort of dried my hair and got dressed it was checked so that probably helped, and make sure to use ur sick voice! if you want ur temp to be higher you can press it as far back (under your tongue) as you can and it always comes out hotter
hope this helped you:)
Mercury thermometers are considered to be the top notch in accuracy and stability.
In theory, one can serve your family for generations – stops working only if someone breaks it.
Alcohol thermometers on the other hand were never used for bodily measurements up until the mercury hysteria, only for less responsible jobs like measuring weather temp. Digital thermometers are the most problematic, not only they need batteries – they’re also the worst in accuracy.
so it’s 2 am and i gotta get up at 5 am for school and i can’t sleep but ik my mom will just say suck it up so imma try this but i have to skip the bath part. i already don’t feel good so wish me luck!
it might be believable cause my brother is sick rn
0:41 Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was neither Polish, nor were those the borders of Poland. If anything, you should be talking about the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. You should also explain that large parts of the area we know as Poland today, were once inhabited by a majority of Germans.
COVID-19, I have a lot, and I mean A LOT of homework that I haven’t finished yet. So? I’m becoming a freelancer and inducing a fever to stay home, then showing my parents the money that I’ve earned, and tell them to sign me up for a better school. Yes, I prefer becoming a freelancer rather than going to school, and yes, this is the most ambitious plan ever, and I even have money to use on myself. Time for me to stop using the 11 year old family computer, and I’m buying Minecraft as well.
Fahrenheit is just a pain in the arse to deal with, it doesn’t make much sense, it’s like trying to figure out distance using miles, trying to figure out several miles in metres slowly becomes harder to work out, whereas several km is easy to work out in metres, Celsius is a very simple and effective way to measure temperature, it’s basically kelvin but in more common temperatures to which we find everyday
so i’m going to try thisi am a little sick cause of my friend cause she came to school with a fever and all, i am kinda hot already, i will take a hot shower at 7PM it’s 5PM rn. anyways i’ll change into warm clothes. i think my mom will believe me cause i already told her 4hours ago i don’t feel good, i also have stayed up the whole night cause i couldn’t sleep i also sneezed a lot. i think it might work ^^ i hope i don’t forget about this
that’s very helpfull
I’ve always wondered what this scale was based on
my personal favorite is the kelvim scale, because it makes sense for the measuring of no agitation of particles to be equals zero.
I already took a bath but…
Skrew it imma take another bath so i can celebrate my birthday tomorrow without going to school!
Best plan ever lol
