How is it dangerous? Is it worse than showing someone's date of birth?
@tristrambrelstaff @dpiponi there are uses for this as a honeypot or a prank.
@lowqualityfacts it's like that dog Laika that was sent to space to keep company to the astronauts.
@freemo I like them. I have a slight preference for dark text on light background (#2 and #4).
@dragonarchitect interesting. I've been doing surprisingly ok in California with only knowing this incomplete and approximate table:
32°F = 0°C (freezing)
70°F =~ 20°C (human-friendly)
100°F =~ 37°C (body)
(212°F) = 100°C (boiling)
350°F = (175°C) (oven)
The values in parentheses are those I had to look up for this post.

@dpiponi are there different types of "documentation" for math? I've found the division into 4 kinds of documentation for software tremendously useful. I recommend it to everyone who writes software documentation because it makes life easier: https://documentation.divio.com/
@j_bertolotti @johncarlosbaez "always" is often a good enough approximation of "often" but not always.

@RickiTarr I'm French. It's 60% cultural and 60% personal preferences, with some conflict between the two.

@freeschool @gabriel thanks for sharing.
It's an interesting topic as I only recently realized the brilliance of the free association between Fediverse servers. I imagine that as big servers join in, they'll get blocked if they don't have good moderation. They tend to have low standards when it comes to advertising and spam, so I expect Threads and other for-profit entities to get blocked by servers populated by people like me. Blocking 99% of the populace who loves their ads will feel elitist and lonely but won't be worse than the current state of affairs.

@freeschool @gabriel same behavior. The download button in the bottom-right corner doesn't work either.
